First Start

After installing CuriosPaper and starting your server, here's what happens and what to expect.

Startup Sequence

When the server starts with CuriosPaper for the first time, the plugin will:

1. Generate config.yml with 9 default accessory slot types
2. Create the items/ directory for custom item definitions
3. Create the playerdata/ directory for per-player accessory storage
4. Initialize the resource pack manager and extract default assets
5. Register commands (/baubles, /curios, /edit)
6. Start bStats metrics (anonymous usage statistics, plugin ID: 29508)

Console Output

A successful first start will show:

If the elytra back slot feature is enabled and supported:
