## About the plugin

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does it work on Spigot, or only Paper?">
    Both, 1.19 or newer. Prefer Paper.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is it free?">
    Yes, and open source under the <Tooltip tip="An open source license. The code is public, and anyone who changes it has to keep their version public too.">AGPL-3.0 license</Tooltip>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need WorldGuard or PlaceholderAPI?">
    Both optional. <Tooltip tip="A separate plugin that lets you mark protected regions in a world.">WorldGuard</Tooltip> adds per-region kits for [rekit on kill](/features/rekit-kill); <Tooltip tip="A plugin other plugins use to drop values like a player name into text.">PlaceholderAPI</Tooltip> adds placeholders in messages.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will it work with my other kit plugin?">
    Two kit plugins fight over the same commands. Remove or rename the other. Coming from KitsX? [Import your data](/commands/admin#import-from-kitsx).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Setting it up

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Which database should I pick?">
    One server: **SQLite**. A network: **MySQL**, **PostgreSQL**, or **Redis**. Never `yml`. See [Storage and databases](/settings/storage).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I change database later?">
    Yes. One command copies everything while the server stays online. See [Change database](/data/storage-migration).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a fast way to get a working setup?">
    Yes. `/perplayerkit autosetup` fills the kit room and the bundled public kits. See [Set up your kit room](/kit-room).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I open the kit room editor?">
    `/kit`, then the **nether star**. `/kitroom` takes only `save` and `load`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many kits can a player have?">
    Nine by default, up to 99 via `kits.max-slots`. Needs a full restart. See [Kits](/features/kits).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can admins not use /kit?">
    `perplayerkit.admin` grants admin tools and staff inspection. Give admins `perplayerkit.use` as well. See [Give out permissions](/permissions-setup).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Running it

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why do items keep disappearing from kits?">
    `item-filter.enabled: true` with `kit-room-only: true` filters loaded copies against your kit room. Stored definitions are preserved. See [Anti-exploit](/features/anti-exploit).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I stop the chat spam?">
    Set `broadcasts.enabled: false`. For finer control, see [Messages and broadcasts](/settings/messages).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A player changed account. Can I move their kits?">
    Kits belong to a <Tooltip tip="The permanent ID Minecraft gives an account. It never changes, even after a name change.">UUID</Tooltip>: run `/transferkits <newname>` from the old account with both online, and the new account clicks **\[ACCEPT]**. See [Sharing and transfers](/features/sharing).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I ban an item that is already in people's kits?">
    Take it out of the kit room, enable `item-filter` with `kit-room-only: true`, then run `/purgeitem <item> all confirm`. See [Remove a banned item](/data/purge-items).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I disable kits in my lobby?">
    ```yaml config.yml theme={null}
    locations:
      global:
        mode: deny
        entries: [spawn, lobby]
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I give my players a different language?">
    Fourteen ship with the plugin; set `language` in `config.yml`. See [Languages](/settings/languages).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Data and safety

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does the plugin back up my data?">
    SQLite and YAML: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly. Otherwise use your database's own tools or `/kitdata export all`. See [Backups](/data/backups).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I copy my kit room to another server?">
    ```bash theme={null}
    /kitroom save
    /kitdata export kitroom my-kitroom
    ```

    Send the file and they import it. See [Export and import](/data/export-import).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is upgrading the plugin safe?">
    Yes. Stop the server, swap the jar, start it again. Back up first on a [dev build](/downloads#development-builds).
  </Accordion>
