🚀 Advanced Features

Rank-Based Cooldown Overrides

How It Works:

  1. Base cooldown is set in kit config
  2. LuckPerms group names are detected
  3. If player's group has an override, it's used instead

Example Configuration:

kits:
  daily:
    cooldown: "24h"   Default for everyone
    
    cooldown-overrides:
      vip: "18h"       VIPs wait 18 hours
      mvp: "12h"       MVPs wait 12 hours
      elite: "6h"      Elites wait 6 hours
      ultimate: "1h"   Ultimates wait 1 hour

Real-World Example:

Default player: Claims kit → waits 24 hours
VIP player:     Claims kit → waits 18 hours
MVP player:     Claims kit → waits 12 hours
Elite player:   Claims kit → waits 6 hours

World Restriction System

Global Whitelist Restricts the entire plugin to specific worlds.

 config.yml
world-whitelist:
  enabled: true
  worlds:
    - "world"
    - "survival"
    - "skyblock"

Effect: Commands don't work in other worlds.

Per-Kit Worlds Restricts individual kits to specific worlds.

 kits.yml
kits:
  pvp-kit:
    worlds:
      - "pvp"
      - "arena"
  
  survival-kit:
    worlds:
      - "survival"
  
  global-kit:
    worlds:
      - "all"

Use Cases:

  • PvP kits only in PvP worlds
  • Survival kits not in creative worlds
  • Skyblock-specific starter packs

❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting

General Questions

Q: What Minecraft versions are supported?
A: Minecraft 1.21.x on Paper or Spigot.

Q: Do I need Paper or will Spigot work?
A: Both work, but Paper is recommended for better performance and native Adventure API support.

Q: Is this compatible with BungeeCord/Velocity?
A: Yes! Use MySQL storage and configure the same database on all servers.

Q: Can I translate messages to other languages?
A: Yes! All messages are in messages.yml and fully customizable.

Installation Issues

Q: Plugin doesn't load on startup
A: Check console for errors. Common issues:

  • Wrong Java version (need Java 17+)
  • Wrong Minecraft version (need 1.21+)
  • Corrupted JAR file (re-download)

Q: Commands don't work
A: Verify:

  • Plugin is enabled (/plugins shows green)
  • You have permission (ultrakits.use)
  • World is whitelisted (if whitelist is enabled)

Database Issues

Q: MySQL won't connect
A: Checklist:

  1. MySQL server is running
  2. Database exists (CREATE DATABASE ultrakits;)
  3. Credentials are correct
  4. Port is correct (default 3306)
  5. Host is correct (usually localhost)
  6. Firewall allows connection

Q: SQLite file is locked
A: Usually caused by:

  • Multiple servers using same file
  • Previous server crash
  • Solution: Restart server or delete .db file (WARNING: deletes data)

Q: Player data not saving
A: Check:

  • Auto-save is enabled
  • Database connection is working
  • Console for error messages
  • Manually save: /skit reload

Kit Issues

Q: Kit items aren't saving correctly
A: This usually happens with custom NBT data. Fix:

  • Use Paper (better NBT support than Spigot)
  • Recreate kit using /skit edit GUI
  • Check console for serialization errors

Q: Enchantments not working
A: Ensure:

  • Enchantment names are correct (lowercase, underscores)
  • Example: sharpness: 5 not Sharpness: V
  • Use Minecraft enchantment IDs

Q: Custom model data not saving
A: Set in config:

custom-model-data: 12345

Permission Issues

Q: Everyone can use all kits
A: Check:

  • Kit permissions are set correctly
  • Players don't have ultrakits.* wildcard
  • LuckPerms is installed and working

Q: LuckPerms groups not detected
A: Verify:

  • LuckPerms is installed and enabled
  • Plugin detects LuckPerms (check startup log)
  • Group names match exactly (case-sensitive)

Q: Rank overrides not working
A: Ensure:

  • Group name in config matches LuckPerms group
  • Player is in that group (/lp user <player> info)
  • Example:
cooldown-overrides:
  vip: "12h"   Must match LuckPerms group "vip"

Cooldown Issues

Q: Cooldown not working
A: Check:

  • Time format is correct (24h not 24hours)
  • Cooldown is set in kit config
  • Player doesn't have bypass permission

Q: Cooldown shows wrong time
A: Verify:

  • Server time is correct
  • No conflicting plugins modifying time
  • Reload plugin: /skit reload

GUI Issues

Q: GUI doesn't open
A: Causes:

  • Inventory is full (server blocks opening)
  • Permission missing
  • World not whitelisted

Q: Items can be taken from preview GUI
A: This shouldn't happen. If it does:

  • Report as a bug
  • Update to latest version
  • Check for conflicting inventory plugins

Q: Pagination not working
A: Usually happens when:

  • Too many kits (100+)
  • GUI config is wrong
  • Fix: Adjust kit-slots in guis.yml

Performance Issues

Q: Server lags when opening GUI
A: Optimization tips:

  • Reduce kit count (split into categories)
  • Use MySQL instead of YAML
  • Increase cache expiry time
  • Check for other laggy plugins

Q: High RAM usage
A: Normal usage is 20-50MB. If higher:

  • Too many kits cached
  • Clear cache: restart server
  • Reduce auto-save frequency

Error Messages

Q: "Kit not found" even though it exists
A: Common causes:

  • Typo in kit name (case-sensitive)
  • Kit not loaded (reload: /skit reload)
  • Corrupted kits.yml

Q: "Failed to serialize item"
A: Item has unsupported NBT:

  • Simplify the item
  • Remove custom NBT
  • Use vanilla items only

Q: "Database error" on startup
A: Check:

  • Database credentials
  • Database server is running
  • Network connection
  • Console for specific SQL error
