Initially
by Mrbysco
Initially fills a new player's inventory with a configured set of items the first time they join a world.
What it does
Initially reads a config file, written as JSON, that lists which items go into which inventory slot. Each entry can also set a tag or NBT data, and a count. The list is applied when a player joins a world for the first time, so the starting kit is the same for everyone who begins there. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.1, and both the server and every player need it.
Key features
Starting inventory set
Each inventory slot can be given a specific item chosen in the configuration.
Per-slot NBT data
Items can carry NBT tags, so a starting item can have data set before the player gets it.
First-join only
The kit is applied once, when a player enters the world for the first time, and not on later joins.

How it compares
NBT Copy is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.16 – 26.3, and it can be installed on either side. String Utilities is server-side only and open source under the MIT License for 1.14 – 1.21.11, so players join without it.
