    Suggestion:
    -To make /kit starter have 20 pork chops instead of 4
    Reason:
    I have seen builders need food more often then none. If you run around spawn a few times you can get really hungry. It would not be a good experience for new builders and the whole community to beg for food AND try to learn how to play the server. It's not that much to ask for, just a little more food to make the server more welcoming.
    Other Information:
    I'm pretty sure there needs to be no extra plugins added for this one. I think with the plugin you can control what is given to each player.

    When you run around spawn, you food bar does not change because of the invincibility:true.

    Also the point of the server is hardcore economy, so you make or buy your own food. /kit starter is meant to give you the tools you need to start.

    Hmm I did not know there was invincibility at spawn... I feel stupid right now... But still back in the, "old days" there used to be 20 pork chops. Why not change back?

    Maybe 5 or 6 pork chops would be good. It may also encourage the purchase of Feed, and Feed Plus.

    I currently have over a doublechest of cooked pork just sitting there. More would be overkill.

    There is plenty of food that can be bought in the market, spawn shops, and available in towns. In fact, since you cannot die of starvation, the only thing it really does is stop you from running around and hopping like a ....

    Anyway, /kit starter has a purpose to "start" builders out. I think that makes the server 'welcoming'. I don't think things need to be given out en masse for free. I don't see a reason it need to be above 4 (I might agree to 5 but that would be as high as I think it would ever need to be.)

    Just my opinion. ;)

    Cooked pork should be a "delicacy", not a common food. -1

    Most builders that beg for food have no idea there is a free kit with food.

    Don't think it is needed because people cannot die from hunger. Also, if they want food, it sort of makes them be a bit social with people and ask.

    Lol, people probably still have stacks of pork from voting. It's not rare.

    This sadly won't happen. They make less food available because they want you to vote and buy food that way. Or force you to buy the donation feature. My suggestion would be to get a heal sign if you can afford it, or start a small carrot farm.

    This point more or less answers this suggestion. Also, this is just my opinion.

    /feed is a waste of money imo.
    Is it really worth 15 bucks when you can just have a small 10x10 carrot farm and carry some on you? That's what I do. (or...what i used to do :( )

    /Kit starter is just to start you off, not give you enough for almost the whole day
    (Just my take on the name)
