About this project
What does Respawn Items add?
Respawn Items
Give players an item or multiple items every time they respawn.
Change what items players should receive upon respawn in the config/respawnitems-common.toml.
By default, the config only has starting_items = ["minecraft:torch"].
You can remove the "minecraft:torch" from starting_items and add whatever you like.
Example:
starting_items = ["minecraft:apple", "minecraft:stick", "minecraft:stick", "minecraft:diamond"]
This above example should give the player an apple, two sticks, and a diamond every time they respawn.
You can write ids of modded items as well, and it should work as long as that item is present in the game,
Recommended Mods:
- InitialInventory (to give players a set of items the first time they spawn)
