Fixing StartInv Not Protecting You on World Join

You installed StartInv expecting a safe spawn, but you still take damage or die right after loading. This is almost always a configuration or conflict issue rather than a broken mod.

Check the Basics First

1. Confirm the mod is actually loaded — check the mod list in-game or the startup log.

2. Open the config file and verify the duration is set to a positive number. A value of zero disables protection entirely.

3. Restart the game after any config edit; changes are not hot-reloaded.

Look for Conflicts

Other mods that alter damage, spawn behavior, or player invulnerability can fight with StartInv. Damage-cancelling mods and spawn-protection mods are the usual suspects.

• Temporarily disable other combat or spawn mods and rejoin a world.
• If protection returns, re-enable them one at a time to find the culprit.

Timing Issues

StartInv grants invincibility as you enter the world. If your loading screen is unusually long — for example, with many mods or a large world — the window may expire before you are actually in control. Increase the duration in the config to cover your load time. On servers, remember the server's config is what counts, not your client's.
