Beginner’s Delight Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Why didn't a starter house generate when I created my world?
Check that auto_generate is enabled in your mod configuration file—if it's set to false, houses won't spawn. Also verify you're in a brand-new world; the mod only generates a house on first world creation, not in existing saves.
Can I get a starter house in a world where I already played?
No, the mod only generates starter houses in newly created worlds. If you want a house in an existing world, you can use the data pack templates to manually place a custom building or create a new world.
How do I turn on Village Mode for my server?
Run the command `/beginnersdelight village enable` on your server to activate Village Mode; after that, new players who join will each receive their own house connected by dirt paths.
Will the starter house stay if I remove the mod?
Yes, the mod uses only vanilla blocks like oak wood and cobblestone, so the house structure and all its contents remain in your world even after you uninstall the mod.
Can I customize what loot appears in the starter chest?
Yes, you can modify the loot table through the mod's data pack templates to change what items spawn inside the chest or barrel when a new world is created.
Do multiple players on a server all get their own starter house?
Only in Village Mode; enable it with `/beginnersdelight village enable` and each new player will spawn with a personal house. Without Village Mode, only one starter house generates at the world spawn point.
How do I stop the starter house from generating in one specific world?
Use the gamerule command `/gamerule beginnersdelight:generate_starter_house false` in that world to disable house generation while keeping the mod active.
Does the starter house work on hills and uneven terrain?
Yes, the mod automatically adjusts the house position to fit naturally on hills, plains, and uneven ground so it doesn't float or clip into the landscape.
Can I reload the mod config without restarting my server?
Yes, run `/beginnersdelight config reload` while in-game to reload the configuration file without needing to restart.
Does the mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod only generates buildings once at world creation using vanilla blocks, so it has minimal performance impact; the main cost is the one-time generation when you start a new world.
