Headstart

Headstart is a Hytale mod that allows you to customize the starting experience for a player. Depending on the configuration, when a player first logs in, logs in with an empty inventory, or dies with an empty inventory, they are granted the items specified in the configuration. By default, items are only granted on the initial login.

If you are the op on a server, I recommend either generating a config file ahead of time or logging in, configure Headstart, run /headstart --reset, clear out your inventory, and log back in.

Commands

Headstart has two commands.

1. /headstart
2. /hotbarcfg

/headstart

/headstart allows you to modify the behavior of headstart itself.

Arguments

• firstLogin (default true)
• onDeath (default false)
• reset

firstLogin - Whether Headstart only applies to the first login onDeath - Whether Headstart applies after death reset - Resets the settings to default and clears the known players, allowing a player to receive items when they next log in with an empty inventory.

Examples

/hotbarcfg lets you customize what items are received when a player logs in.
