Nested Containers, Effects, and Reveal Presentation

This is the page for the deeper reward design side of Kits Crates Plus.

Use it after one simple kit and one simple crate already work.

What nested containers are for

Nested containers let one reward slot represent a smaller reward pool.

That matters when you want things like:

• one armor slot that can roll several armor outcomes
• one command bundle lane
• one special-effects lane
• one rare reward family inside a larger crate or kit

What effect rewards are for

The plugin supports non-item reward entries such as:

• self commands
• console commands
• sounds
• particles

This is what lets a reward pool do more than only hand out physical items.

Why the shared editor matters

The same general editing patterns carry across kits, crates, and nested containers.

That means staff do not have to relearn a different authoring model each time they switch from:

• a kit inventory
• a kit container
• a crate pool
• a nested reward container

Reveal presentation

On the crate side, reward presentation can be much richer than a flat reward popup.

The plugin supports:

• reveal styles
• reveal themes
• showcase animation lanes
• preview icons
• spin icons
• display items for non-item rewards

This is especially important for command-based, sound-based, or particle-based rewards because those entries still need readable presentation when players preview or watch a crate roll.

Preview and spin icons for non-item rewards

When a reward is not a real item, use a custom display item so players still see a meaningful icon during:

• preview
• spin
• reveal

The cleanest pattern is to use a custom item with:

• the right display name
• the right lore
• the right model data

so the preview surface explains what that reward actually represents.

Chance editing and editor clarity

The plugin now leans heavily on visible chance and quick-edit patterns.

That means you should use the GUI as the main authoring lane for:

• chance visibility
• quick chance adjustments
• nested-container authoring
• effect-entry icon setup

instead of trying to do every balance pass blind.
