🏠 Beginner's Delight - A Safe Start for New Adventurers

Survive your first night with a ready-made starter base!

Beginner's Delight automatically generates a small starter house at the world spawn point, giving new players a safe shelter with essential supplies to begin their Minecraft adventure.

✨ Features

🏡 Starter House at Spawn

  • Automatic Generation: A small wooden house appears at the world spawn point when a new world is created
  • Survival Essentials: Includes a bed, a chest or barrel with starter items, and torch lighting
  • Multiple Designs: Randomly selects from several house variants for variety
  • Terrain Adaptive: Placement adjusts to the local terrain surface

🧩 Data Pack Structure Pools

  • Modpack-friendly templates: Add, remove, replace, and weight starter-house templates with a data pack
  • Loot control per template: Preserve the containers authored in a structure NBT, or opt into Beginner's Delight starter loot for otherwise empty containers
  • Village Mode included: The same pool is used for Village Mode player houses
  • Guide and examples: See the data pack structure pool guide

📦 Starter Supplies

The starter container — a chest, or a barrel in the one design that has no chest — contains helpful items for early game:

  • Food (bread, apples)
  • Basic wooden tools
  • Torches for lighting

Some house designs come with more than one chest or barrel. Only one of them holds the starter items above; the others are filled with extra supplies: coal, oak planks, torches, and wheat seeds.

🎮 Multiplayer Ready

  • Works on both singleplayer and multiplayer servers
  • All players spawn at the same location near the starter house
  • The house is generated only once — no duplicates

🏘️ Village Mode (Optional)

  • Grows as players join: Enable with /beginnersdelight village enable and a village forms around the world spawn
  • A house per player: Each new player gets their own house, connected to the village by dirt paths
  • Decoration buildings: Wells, sheds, storehouses, and farms appear as the village grows
  • Respawn at home: Players can respawn at their own house
  • Configurable: Adjust plot size, path generation, and respawn behavior in a config/beginnersdelight.toml file, reloadable in-game with /beginnersdelight config reload, or via an in-game settings screen on every supported loader and version — NeoForge's or Forge's mod-list "Config" button, ModMenu if installed on Fabric (MC 1.21.1+ only), or an unbound keybinding on any loader; the host player's edits apply immediately for singleplayer/LAN

🎚️ Per-World Toggle

  • Choose per world: Uncheck beginnersdelight:generate_starter_house in the "Game Rules" screen while creating a world to skip the starter house for that world only
  • Change it later: /gamerule beginnersdelight:generate_starter_house <true|false>
  • Pick your default: New worlds default to on; set [starter_house] auto_generate = false in config/beginnersdelight.toml to make them default to off
  • Existing worlds are safe: A house that has already been generated is never removed, and turning the rule on later generates one on the next server start

🔧 Safe to Remove

  • Built entirely with vanilla blocks (oak wood, cobblestone, etc.)
  • The structure remains intact even after removing the mod
  • No custom blocks or items that would cause issues

📖 How It Works

  1. Create a New World: Start a new world with the mod installed
  2. Spawn Safely: You'll spawn next to a small house with supplies
  3. Get Started: Open the chest for starter items and sleep in the bed to set your spawn
  4. Adventure Awaits: Head out to explore with a safe base to return to!
