VickyE's Starter Kits
VickyE's Starter Kits lets server owners hand out configurable kits to players through selector items that can be claimed at any point in play, not only on first join.
What it does
Kits are defined in configuration and can hold regular inventory items as well as equipment slot gear, and Curios equipment is included when the Curios API is installed. Selectors can be set to choose a specific kit, roll one at random, or draw from a pool where some kits appear less often than others. Right-clicking a selector can roll instantly without opening the GUI, and selectors can be configured to be consumed after use or kept.
The mod targets Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so players and the server both need it. Files cover Minecraft 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1. Kits can be built in a GUI opened by a kit creation item or written as JSON, and older kit formats carry over to newer releases. CraftTweaker is an optional dependency for scripted kit handling. The code is under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Unlimited custom kits
Server owners can define as many starter kits as needed, each with its own item and equipment contents.
Weighted random rolls
A random roll can draw from kits with set odds, so uncommon kits take more effort to get.
Kit creation GUI
A kit creation item opens a screen for building kits without writing JSON by hand.
Reloadable configuration
Most kit changes take effect without restarting the server, and players receive updated kit information when kits are modified.
