Starter pack
Starter pack gives a new player a set of basic items on their first join to a world, so the opening minutes skip the punching-trees stage.
What it does
On first join the mod hands out a stone sword for fighting mobs, a wooden pickaxe for the first stones, leather helmet and boots as basic armor, and eight bread so hunger is not a problem on day one. The items appear in the inventory straight away, which lets a player begin the adventure without gathering wood first. The pack is tuned to be a start rather than an advantage, so the gear stays modest.
Server owners can also give a pack to a chosen player with a command that runs through a server plugin, which fits servers where new arrivals should get the same kit. The mod is described as light and does not slow the game, and it works alongside other mods. It needs Fabric API on Fabric and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt, and it runs on client and server, so both sides install it. Builds cover 1.14.4 – 1.21.8 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is not open source, with all rights reserved.

How it compares
Starter Kits is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.18 – 1.21.8, released under the Apache License 2.0, and it needs the server while the client may be left out. More Starter Weapons is a Forge-only client-side mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so it changes nothing on the server. Starter Pack is not open source, and it needs both the server and the client.
