Kits
by John-Paul-R
Players who claim starter items on a Fabric server use Kits, which lets server owners define item batches that each rank can claim.
What it does
Kits adds configurable, permissions-based item batches to Fabric servers. A server owner creates a kit by placing the items in an inventory and running a command, then sets which permission lets a player claim it. A kit can carry a cooldown, so a player cannot take it again straight away. Brigadier suggestions only list the kits a player may use.
Claiming works with a single command. Items go into the player's inventory, or onto the ground when the inventory is full. Removing a kit deletes it for every user, and moderators can reset a player's cooldowns when needed. Kit Rings group several kits under one shared cooldown, so claiming any kit in a ring starts the timer for all of them. Kits runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and bundles fabric-permissions-api. The mod is published for Fabric on 18 release versions, 1.17 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Permission-gated kits
Each kit is tied to a permission node, so only players with the matching rank can claim it.
Cooldown timers
A kit can have a cooldown that stops players from claiming it repeatedly.
Kit Rings
Several kits can share one cooldown, so claiming one starts the timer for the whole ring.
Editable kit files
Kit contents, cooldowns and claim times are stored as NBT files that can be edited by hand.
