Kits and abilities

Players pick a kit before the game (chest item or /kit); items are handed out when the chest rush starts. A player without a kit gets default-kit.

Type	Who
FREE	Everyone
PAID	Costs price coins, taken when the game starts (switching kits in the lobby is free)
VIP	Needs survivalgames.vip or the kit's own permission

  ninja:

• Items: "MATERIAL", "MATERIAL:amount" or {type, amount, enchantments, name, lore}.
• Materials, enchantments and effects use today's names and work on every version (RED_WOOL is WOOL:14 on 1.8).
• Names and descriptions per language: lang/<language>.yml → kits.<kit>.name, kits.<kit>.lore.
• Changes apply after a restart. A wrong line is reported in the console and skipped; the kit still loads.

Abilities

Combine any number, the same type more than once too. They work from the chest rush to the end, while the kit's owner is alive, and respect the phase rules (no on-hit abilities while PvP is off).
