Simple Starter Kits
by LunarLupa
Simple Starter Kits gives configured items to each player on their first join to a NeoForge server, using a TOML list of items.
What it does
On the first world join, a player receives the items listed in the mod's starterItems setting. The list is written in a TOML file, with each entry naming a Minecraft item id and a count, such as minecraft:apple 16. The kit covers items a player can carry at once, so it suits a fresh start on a server.
Server owners pick the contents of the kit, and other mods can hand items to a player through the same route. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for 1.21.1 on NeoForge and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.

Configurable contents
