Starter Kit Mod allows players who join a world for the first time to receive items set in a config file. It’s possible to set items to any specific slot in the inventory, to the offhand, and to the armor slots. The mod can detect which players have never joined before. If players have joined prior to the mod’s installation, it will only change the inventory if it’s completely empty and if the player again first logs in near the spawn point. Can be used in a server for all new players or in singleplayer to start off with a default inventory of your choosing.

Features:
