About this Mod

First Kill Rewards gives you loot every time you kill a type of monster for the first time, increasing in quality and quantity of drops the more monsters you have killed. These rewards should give you useful rewards based on what tier you are on.

Monsters

A monster is any mob that is included in the Monster Hunter achievement, along with the Warden which actually isn't in the achievement.
You can use the command /trigger get_first_kill_list to view which monsters you haven't killed yet.

Tiers

There are 6 tiers of rewards you can get. Where each tier starts and ends is found in the changelog, since they can change if new mobs are added.

These tiers go from giving you bread, coal, iron ingots, etc to giving you enchanted golden apples, diamond blocks, netherite ingots, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

First Kill Rewards server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is First Kill Rewards compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

First Kill Rewards officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with First Kill Rewards – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if First Kill Rewards consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
