DarkStarter Mod: Customizing Your Starter Kit with Data Packs

Changing the Starter Kit and Welcome Message

DarkStarter Mod gives first-time players a starter kit on login: a stone sword, torches, leather boots, apples, and bread, all delivered inside a bundle. The welcome message appears at the same time. Both are fully customizable through data packs, so you are not locked into the default set.

To change them, create a data pack for your world or server and define the starter items and welcome message within it. Server owners can use this to match a server's theme or gameplay style, while single-player users can adjust the kit for their own worlds. Because the mod reads these values from the data pack, editing the pack updates what new players receive without touching the mod itself.

Once installed, the kit is granted only on a player's first join, keeping the early survival phase smoother without repeating the reward later.
