First join Control
First Join Control lets a server owner or modpack creator script what a player experiences on their first entry into a world, with teleports, starter kits, effects, titles and sounds.
What it does
On first join, the mod can teleport the player to exact X, Y, Z coordinates in a chosen dimension, with yaw and pitch set, so a new arrival starts at a tutorial hub or a welcome area. A starter kit can grant a list of items in set quantities directly into the inventory. Temporary or permanent potion effects, such as Resistance or Regeneration, can protect a newcomer during the first minutes.
The sequence is built for one-time use: general actions run only on a player's first join, and each feature can be switched on or off independently. Titles and subtitles with adjustable fade times, sound effects, particle clouds and a configurable delay in ticks before actions fire, so the player has finished loading the world, are all set in one file. The mod generates fjc-common.toml in the server's config folder, and it needs to be installed on both the client and the server.

Temporary or permanent potion effects give new players a short protected period after arriving.
Cinematic welcomes
Titles and subtitles appear on screen with fade times the author can customize.
