Get Started with Kits and Starter Gear

What Are Kits?

Kits are pre-made collections of items that give you a head start. Admins create kits for different situations—starter gear for new players, tools for builders, or supplies for specific challenges.

Claiming a Kit

1. Type /kits to see all available kits on your server

2. Read the descriptions to understand what each kit contains

3. Type /kit <kitname> to claim it

4. Items appear in your inventory immediately

Example: /kit starter might give you basic tools and food, while /kit builder could contain wood, stone, and scaffolding.

Kit Cooldowns

Most kits have a cooldown—you can't claim the same kit repeatedly right away. This prevents abuse and keeps the economy balanced. The cooldown timer resets after a set period (check with your admin for exact times). If you try to claim a kit on cooldown, the plugin tells you when you can use it again.

Tip: Claim starter kits early to get essential tools, then save other kits for when you need specific items.
