FreshStart
After a player dies, FreshStart hands them a Revival Kit on respawn so they can get back into the game quickly.
What it does
When a player respawns, FreshStart gives them a starter pack called the Revival Kit. It holds basic tools, food and other essential supplies, so a player who lost everything is not left empty-handed. The kit is tailored to help the player get back on their feet and continue the adventure without a long recovery.
The kit is useful whether the player is fighting mobs or exploring unfamiliar terrain, because it supplies the items needed to act again straight away. Repeated deaths are covered in the same way, so the journey can continue however many times the player falls.
FreshStart is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, first published on 2024-07-23. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Recovering from a fight
A player who lost gear to mobs receives supplies to return to the fight without a long walk back.
Exploring new terrain
A player who died far from base starts again with tools and food for the unfamiliar area.
Who it’s for: Players who want less setback after death on a Forge 1.20.1 world, and server owners who want every respawn to include the same starter supplies. Both the server and each player need the mod.
How it compares
Fen's Simple Kits is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also works on client and server, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. Starter Orb is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same environment and license. Totem of Revival is not open source and uses a custom license, with Fabric and Forge files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.2, so it reaches more loaders than FreshStart. Death Compass covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Forge and is also not open source.
