Inventory Presets

Inventory presets (kits) define the equipment players receive in arenas. They are configured in the InventoryPresets section of config.json.

Preset Structure

Each preset has a name (the JSON key), an icon, and a list of items:

{
  "InventoryPresets": {
    "preset-name": {
      "Icon": "IconName",
      "Items": [
        "ItemId:quantity:zone:slotIndex",
        "ItemId:quantity:zone:slotIndex"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Fields

Field	Description
Icon	Icon filename (without extension) displayed in the kit selection UI. The file should be at Common/Icons/Presets/Backgrounds/{Icon}.png
Items	Array of item strings in the format described below

Item Format

Each item string uses this format:

ItemId:quantity:zone:slotIndex

Creating Presets In-Game

The fastest way to create a preset is to equip the items you want in your inventory, then run:

/arena kitcreate <name> <icon>

This captures your full inventory and saves it directly to config.json. The preset is available immediately — no server restart needed.

tip

Use this method when you have items with custom enchantments from the Simple Enchantments plugin. The enchantment data is preserved automatically.
