StarterKits
Before a player's first login, StarterKits lets a server hand out a chosen kit of items and commands, defined in JSON configuration files.
What it does
StarterKits gives each player a starting kit of items and runs a list of commands when they join for the first time. The kits are read from JSON files in the config folder, so a server owner can define the starting inventory without changing code. Items can carry NBT data, and the commands can execute as part of the redemption, so a kit can do more than fill a hotbar.
An item in the mod lets a player choose which starting kit to redeem, for servers that offer several options. The kit definitions are sent from the server to each client when the player joins, so the selection screen matches what the server defines. The mod is published for Forge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.12.2 only, with 1.0.20.1 as the latest file, published 2023-04-18 under All rights reserved; the mod is not open source.
The author lists packaging on CurseForge, Modrinth and FTB modpacks, and the project keeps a public issue tracker and wiki. StarterKits is a Utility mod, one of 1259 Utility mods with Forge files for 1.12.2.
