Description

For modpack authors to manage a configurable list to give starter items to players when they first join worlds, allows configurating messages to send to players when they first join a world, and messages for subsequent joins, and even running commands on each server startup (especially useful for setting gamerules, /setworldspawn, or things such as disabling Terralith Traveler's Map due to Watchdog timeout issues related to it).

Fully configurable, see below!

Features

  • Toggle to clear inventory items of players when they first join worlds, before giving them the Starter Items.  This can even be used to just completely clear player inventory items
  • Configurable Starter Items, supporting NBT data for the items (if you need help with this, let me know!)
  • First Join Messages
  • Welcome Messages, for when player joins after the first join
  • Commands to run on each Server Startup, supports all commands available to the game

Config

Add starter items, firstJoinMessages, welcomeMessages, and serverStartCommands to config/starteritems.json5 . See https://github.com/spoorn/StarterItems/blob/main/config-documentation.json5 or the config file for examples.
