Weighted Random Kits

randomkitall supports percentage-based kit selection, allowing you to control how frequently each kit is given.

Example:

/utilities randomkitall 50%iron,50%diamond

Players will receive a randomized kit based on the specified probabilities.

You can also target a specific team:

/utilities randomkitall 50%iron,50%diamond Red

This allows you to give randomized kits only to members of the specified team.

Random Durability

The randomdurability feature randomizes the durability of tools, shields, and armor for non-OP players.

This can be used to make equipment less predictable and add additional difficulty or randomness to an SMP.

/utilities randomdurability

Distance Limit

The distancelimit feature applies a 5-chunk render and simulation distance to non-OP players.

This can be used to limit how far non-OP players can see and simulate the world.
