Public kits are server-defined loadout presets that any eligible player can browse and load on demand — no kit-building required on their end. They are ideal for offering standardized competitive loadouts, new-player starter sets, or seasonal event kits. Unlike personal kits that each player creates themselves, public kits are authored by admins and shared across your entire player base through the /publickit command.
Creating a Public Kit
Equip the items you want to save
Fill your inventory — including armor slots, off-hand, and hotbar — with exactly the items you want this public kit to contain. This snapshot of your current inventory becomes the kit.
Run /savepublickit
Execute the /savepublickit command. This requires the perplayerkit.admin permission. Your current inventory is immediately saved as a new public kit entry.
Confirm the kit was saved
You will receive a confirmation message and hear a success sound. The new kit is now available for all players with the perplayerkit.publickit permission to load via /publickit.
Customizing Public Kit Names and Icons
After saving one or more public kits, customize how they appear in the selection GUI by editing the publickits block in config.yml. The name field sets the label players see, and icon sets the representative item displayed in the menu.
publickits:
1:
name: "Standard"
icon: "DIAMOND_SWORD"
2:
name: "Crystal PvP"
icon: "END_CRYSTAL"
icon field. Reload or restart the plugin after saving the file to apply the changes.
Kit names are displayed in their default color in the GUI. To add custom colors or formatting — such as bold text or gradient effects — wrap the name value in MiniMessage tags, for example "<gold><b>Crystal PvP</b></gold>". See the MiniMessage documentation for the full syntax reference. Loading a Public Kit as a Player
Players open the public kit selection menu by running:
This command also accepts the aliases /pk and /premadekit — all three open the same GUI showing all available server presets. Players simply click the kit they want to load, and their inventory is replaced with that loadout immediately.
Players must have the perplayerkit.publickit permission to use the /publickit command. This permission is included in the perplayerkit.use parent permission, so any player with the standard use grant already has access. If you want to restrict public kits to a specific rank or group, assign perplayerkit.publickit directly rather than relying on the parent.
Loading a Public Kit Programmatically
If you are building a custom plugin or integration, you can load public kits on behalf of a player through the PerPlayerKit developer API without requiring them to open the GUI manually. See the API Usage guide for details on available methods and setup.
