by InventoXtar

What it does

A datapack gives each new player a set of essential items on first join, so the first session can start with exploring and building instead of gathering basic resources. Five starter kits are included: Adventure Gear, Alchemist, Builder, Craftsman, Fisher, Hunter, Knight and Miner, each tailored to a play style such as potion brewing, architecture, fishing, combat or ore mining.

Starter Items is a Data pack, so it does not depend on any mod loader and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt alike. It is published for game versions 1.20 – 1.21.3 in eleven releases. Only the server needs to run the datapack; players may join without installing anything, and the server can run it alone. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files are dated November 2024, with the latest file, 1.0+mod for 1.21.3, released on 2024-11-23, and the mod was first published on 2024-11-04.

Key features

  1. Starter kits for play styles

    Eight kits cover different goals, including an Alchemist kit for potion brewing and a Fisher kit for aquatic exploration.

  2. Items on first join

    The datapack grants a generous set of essential items when a new player first joins the world.

  3. Combat and ore gear

    The Knight kit adds stronger armor and weapons, and the Miner kit supplies tools and gear for digging deep to gather valuable ores.

  4. Builder and hunter kits

    The Builder kit suits players who want to start building right away, and the Hunter kit supplies tools for hunting and gathering in the wilderness.

No. It is a datapack, so it works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt without a loader-specific install.

Does a player need the mod installed to join a server?

No. Only the server must run the datapack, so players can join without it, and the server runs it alone.

Which game versions does Starter Items support?

It is published for 1.20 – 1.21.3, with files for each release in that range, and the latest file targets 1.21.3.
