ShadowKits
by KrripeYT
ShadowKits lets server administrators create, manage and configure kits that players claim, with cooldowns and permissions set per kit.
What it does
Kits are defined in a JSON format that lists items, enchantments, names, lore, commands, cooldowns and other settings. Each kit can keep item properties such as enchantments, custom model data and NBT tags, so a claimed item matches what the administrator defined. Cooldowns and maximum claims per kit control how often a player can take a kit.
Kit selection runs through configurable inventory GUIs with previews, and the menu titles, lore and messages can be edited with full RGB color support. Kits can also trigger custom commands and play unique sounds when claimed or while on cooldown. Access can be restricted per kit through LuckPerms permissions. The mod is written for Minecraft Fabric servers and is described as compatible with Cobblemon.
The mod runs on Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.3, and needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and LuckPerms. BEconomy and Impactor are optional. ShadowKits is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.
