Starter Items, Messages, and Commands
Configurable starter items and messages to send players when they join a world, and startup commands to trigger on server startup
About this Mod
Description
For modpack authors to manage a configurable list to give starter items to players when they first join worlds, allows configurating messages to send to players when they first join a world, and messages for subsequent joins, and even running commands on each server startup (especially useful for setting gamerules, /setworldspawn, or things such as disabling Terralith Traveler's Map due to Watchdog timeout issues related to it).
Fully configurable, see below!
Features
- Toggle to clear inventory items of players when they first join worlds, before giving them the Starter Items. This can even be used to just completely clear player inventory items
- Configurable Starter Items, supporting NBT data for the items (if you need help with this, let me know!)
- First Join Messages
- Welcome Messages, for when player joins after the first join
- Commands to run on each Server Startup, supports all commands available to the game
