How do I install Starter Items, Messages, and Commands?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Starter Items, Messages, and Commands work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.3, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Starter Items, Messages, and Commands

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by spoorn · on CurseForge

Configurable starter items and messages to send players when they join a world, and startup commands to trigger on server startup

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

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.
