Starter Kit Mod for Minecraft (1.21.7, 1.20.1) is a powerful utility mod that allows server owners and singleplayer users to define a custom starting inventory for new players. Whether you’re creating a modded adventure map, running a public survival server, or just want to give players a head start, this mod gives you full control over what items are given the first time someone joins the world.

Through a simple configuration file or the built-in /starterkit set command, you can create a predefined inventory layout, including armor slots, offhand, and even exact inventory slot placement. The mod can detect if a player is joining for the first time, ensuring that only new arrivals receive the starter kit without interfering with existing players unless specific conditions are met.

Features:

Custom Starter Inventory: Define exactly which items players receive when joining a world for the first time
Slot Control: Assign items to specific inventory slots, including hotbar, armor slots, and offhand
New Player Detection: Automatically applies starter kit only to players who have never joined before
Fallback Behavior: If a player joined before the mod was installed, the kit is applied only if their inventory is empty and they spawn near the original spawn point
Singleplayer & Multiplayer Support: Works in both local worlds and dedicated server environments
Mod Compatibility: Supports modded items using modid:item_name format
Command Support:
- /starterkit set: Copies your current inventory into the starter kit config; keeps backups of previous configs automatically
NBT Tag Support: Use the in-game command to include full NBT data like enchantments, durability, and custom names

Why use Starter Kit Mod?

Starting from scratch in Minecraft can be overwhelming, especially in modded worlds or structured maps. Starter Kit Mod provides a fair and flexible way to onboard new players by giving them tools, armor, or even guidebooks right when they join. It’s ideal for structured survival servers, modpacks, or communities where progression and accessibility are key. Best of all, it’s easy to configure and doesn’t interfere with the progression of returning players.
