Starting Loot
by tt432
Starting Loot lets a server owner choose the gear a new player receives on first join, using loot tables defined in JSON files.
What it does
The mod is a NeoForge server mod for Minecraft 1.20.4 that gives a new player a set of starting items through loot tables. Configuration is done in JSON, which follows the format Minecraft uses for loot tables, with key-value pairs naming item IDs and the properties attached to them. Clients need nothing, since the loot is granted by the server.
Starting Loot suits servers that want every new adventure to begin with a customized kit of equipment and resources. A server owner can shape the inventory a player starts with, so the opening of each new game differs from the vanilla one. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and the only published file is version 0.1.0 for 1.20.4, released on 2024-04-02.
