Starter Kit Mod FAQ

Run /starterkit set with cheat access enabled; the mod copies your current inventory into the config file and renames the old one so you can revert if needed. Whatever you're wearing and holding at that moment becomes the kit.

Use /starterkit set in-game rather than editing the file by hand, since that method preserves NBT tags and slot data. The config supports targeting main inventory slots, the offhand, and each armor slot individually.

It gives players joining a world for the first time a set of items defined in a config file. Items can be placed in specific inventory slots, the offhand, or armor slots.

It detects players who have never joined the world before. If a player joined before the mod was installed, it only changes their inventory if it is completely empty and they first log in near the spawn point.
