    public static void createDisplay(Material material, Inventory inv, int Slot, String name, String lore) {
        ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material);
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName(name);
        ArrayList<String> Lore = new ArrayList<String>();

Code:

    public static Inventory kitPicker = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9, "§2KitPVP §b- §cChose a kit§r.");
    static {
 
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material);
    ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
    meta.setDisplayName(name);
    ArrayList<String> Lore = new ArrayList<String>();
    Lore.add(lore);
    meta.setLore(Lore);
    item.setItemMeta(meta);
    inv.setItem(Slot, item);
 
    kitPicker.setItem(0, new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(1, new ItemStack(Material.BOW, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(2, new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(3, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(4, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(5, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(6, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(7, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
    kitPicker.setItem(8, item);
    }

Describe the item before adding it, it's easier.
So then you just have to set it to the slot.

 

__Sour You have to create a new inventory before you can add items to it. Thats what the parameter 'inv' wants.
Also, the createDisplay method can't create inventories, it only adds items to inventories. So, make a new inventory:

Code:java

Inventory putyourinvnamehere = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9);
 

Then add your items to it:

Code:java

                createDisplay(Material.ARROW, putyourinvnamehere, 0, "Name of item", "Item description");

I did make a inventory and i have updated it to what you sayed to put

Code:java

public static Inventory kitPicker = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9, "§2KitPVP §b- §cChose a kit§r.");
static {
kitPicker.setItem(0, new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(1, new ItemStack(Material.BOW, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(2, new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(3, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(4, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(5, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(6, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
kitPicker.setItem(7, new ItemStack(Material.FIRE, 1));
kitPicker.createDisplay(Material.FIRE, kitPicker, 8, "Fire", "Fire BALLS!");
}
 
public static void createDisplay(Material material, Inventory inv, int Slot, String name, String lore) {
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material);
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setDisplayName(name);
ArrayList<String> Lore = new ArrayList<String>();
Lore.add(lore);
meta.setLore(Lore);
item.setItemMeta(meta);
inv.setItem(Slot, item);
} 

Theres a red line under .createDisplay
When i try to fix it it says add a cast to "kitPicker" which i tried and all it did was leave a error msg in console any other way to do this?

Also maybe njb_said can help i seen your kitpvp that is kinda like this one with the lores and custom names in a inventory?

__Sour Where did public static come from? Just do exactly what I said in my previous post. You don't need to put public static in front of your inventory. Also, like I said, the createDisplay method isn't for making an inventory, it's for adding items to it. So the kit picker.setItem lines aren't necessary, you should use createDisplay()for every method.
