Find a safe spot to spawn a player

So I made a dimension with a horizontal portal(using a custom block), and I was wondering how to have it spawn a player and exit portal in the nearest safe spot, because I keep spawning in walls and becoming stuck.

Select random X and Z and then start at say 200 and go down in a loop and check until you find enough air blocks to safely spawn.

This is due to a smaller RAM amount in test client while the chunk gen is running. But your procedure is fine, would you mind sending me your workspace (eg. putting it on mediafire and linking to dl here). This might be a bug.

I can confirm move entity to procedure blocks is not working as it should. It works a bit better in 1.14.4, but still not properly.

I will fix this in 2020.3.

Ok, but I can't use 1.12.2 in 2020.3, even if I copy the generator plugin file. I'm making a modpack based around it, and now I can't really support it. The code works just fine now(aside from the need to check if there is ground where you're spawning).
