A lot of new servers I go on nowadays have starter kits. this isnt a bad thing but there are the occasional kis where you get diamond, iron, compasses, clocks, rare items, etc. these Make the whole point of a server "pointless" I believe, since in most servers, one of the main objectives is to find those materials yourself. There's really not point In having those sort of starter kits because they aren't 'Starter'.
What happened to the wooden tools and a loaf of bread?
