First join Control

The ultimate administrative tool for a perfect first impression.

First Join Control gives server owners and modpack creators total authority over a player’s initial entry into the world. Instead of leaving the first experience to chance, FJC allows you to orchestrate a cinematic, standardized, and helpful welcome sequence that triggers only once.

Whether you want to teleport players to a specific tutorial hub, grant them a survival kit, or simply welcome them with a grand title and sound effects, FJC handles it all through a single, easy-to-use configuration file.

✨ Key Features

• 📍 Precision Spawning: Set exact coordinates (X, Y, Z) and orientation (Yaw, Pitch) across any dimension.
• 🎒 Automated Starter Kits: Define a list of items and quantities to be added to the player’s inventory immediately.
• 🧪 Status Effects: Apply temporary or permanent potion effects (like Resistance or Regeneration) to protect new players.
• 🎆 Cinematic Welcomes: Display high-quality titles and subtitles on the player’s screen with customizable fade times.
• 🎵 Visual & Audio Flair: Trigger specific sound effects and particle clouds at the spawn location for an immersive entry.
• ⏱️ Global Action Delay: Set a specific tick delay before actions trigger to ensure the player has fully loaded into the world.

🛠️ Configuration Example

The mod generates a fjc-common.toml file in your server’s config folder. Every feature can be toggled independently.
