Set this to lowest, if you want Multiverse to handle the respawning.

I set it to lowest, reloaded, restated, it still takes over Multiverse on death respawns.

Closing as this was not an issue with Essentials.

I removed essentials all together and tried death respawns with Multiverse alone, and its no different it still brings the person to their bed instead of the world-respawn, so I don't think this is Essentials. How can I check what is deciding how a user respawns once they die?

Remove each plugin systematically until you find the offending plugin.

Whats so frustrating is it somehow just fixed itself, and I have no idea if I changed anything to fix it. :(
