Overview:

Kit PVP is a server variation that specializes in PVP (Player vs Player). The players must choose from a pre-set category of kits, each with their own unique items. They use these kits to fight against each other, often earning points and reputation.

Here at Apex Hosting, the installation of the Kit PvP game type is as easy as selecting the version from the drop-down bar on your Multicraft Control panel! Once you’ve selected it simply restart your server and you’ll be good to go and ready to play.
 

How to Install Kit PVP on a Server:

Preparation:

1. Navigate to your Apex Server Panel and turn off your server.
2. (Optional) Download any files you require using the FTP File Access, as it is recommended to remove all files before using a premade version.
3. Press Reset Server Files in the bottom-left, check All Server Files, then press Reset Server.
4. Type in “reset”, then press enter. This will remove all server files and they cannot be recovered.
   

Version Change:

1. Navigate to the Apex Server Panel and ensure the server is still turned off.
2. Scroll to the “Jar File” section, then use the menu dropdown to search for and select the KitPVP Premade version.
   
3. Press ‘Change Version’, use the included world, then restart the server when prompted.
4. The server will now install and start with the premade version!

Admin – This rank has all of the permissions and abilities in the game.

The included ranks can be edited using the PEX plugin.

Common Issues:

My server isn’t turning on:
Often, this occurs when an existing world is being loaded up by the server. When using the premade versions, it is highly recommended to perform a factory reset ahead of time to prevent this from happening. If you have important files, ensure you download them to your computer first before performing the reset.

I can’t use any owner commands:
By default, a user will not have access to any commands aside from the KitPVP ones. To give yourself all commands, navigate to your Apex Server Panel, then access the console on the left. In there, enter the “op YourUsername” command. For example, op smattox, which will give you every command.
