Starter Cabin
Starter Cabin places a player-built structure near spawn in every new world, so new players start with a prepared building.
What it does
Players build a structure, mark where new arrivals should appear with a Spawn Carpet, then save the selected area as a template with a sneak and right-click on a block. When a new world is created, the mod searches for a suitable flat spot near spawn and places the saved building there, with the carpet becoming the spawn point. The building is generated only once per world, and deleting the world data forces regeneration.
The Building Saver is a carrot-on-a-stick styled tool that selects the area to save, and a marker block records the spawn point. The marker is removed after saving, which is configurable. If the placement looks off, the placementSearchRadius option can be raised and maxSurfaceVariation lowered to widen the search and accept flatter ground.
Starter Cabin is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

A selected area is stored as a template and reused for every new world that generates.

How it compares
Simple Starter Kits is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for 1.21.1 on NeoForge. More Starter Weapons is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and does not place structures. Craftable Upgrade Templates runs on client and server for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source. Starter Cabin is All rights reserved and runs on client and server, so it differs from each of them in environment and license.
