Gateway to Eternity - Random Gate Spawning

This mod adds random spawning mechanics for gates from the Gateways to Eternity mod.
It is designed to add suspense and excitement by making powerful gateways appear unexpectedly during gameplay.

• Selects a random player in the Overworld.
• Chooses a surface block 50–300 blocks away from that player as the potential spawn location.
• Spawns the gate at a random time during the day, not necessarily right at sunrise.

Spawn Chance Progression

• If spawning fails, the chance increases each day:
  • 20% → 40% → 60% → 80%
• After a successful spawn:
  • The chance resets to 20%
  • No gate will spawn the next day (to prevent over-spawning)

Visual Feedback & Integration

• Shows a notification when a gate is about to appear.
• If JourneyMap is installed:
  • A waypoint is automatically created at the gate location.
• A beam of light highlights the gate using FTB Map.
• The gate’s chunk is force-loaded via FTB Chunks to ensure reliable generation.

How It Works

Every Minecraft **day at sunrise** (`time == 1`), the mod evaluates whether to spawn a gateway using the following logic:
