[CGMZ] Item Categories for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Item Categories!

This plugin allows your to customize your item categories, allowing you to make more than just the standard item, weapon, armor, and key item categories. This can be helpful if your game has many different item types such as crafting ingredients that you want to keep separate.

Unlimited Categories

You can create as many categories for your items as you want with this plugin, there are no limits. Since the default window only displays one row of categories, this plugin comes with the option of changing the number of visible rows. If you have more categories that can fit, the window will scroll. Below is a short gif of how it can look:

Customization

You can customize each category including the order they appear in, add an icon to them, use text codes in their name, and add a background image to the command selection area.

Improved Select Item

By default, the Select Item event command allows your player to select from a list of all items (based on built in item types). This can quickly get difficult to find something if your game has a lot of items. This plugin comes with its own Select Item Plugin Command that allows you to make the player select from a custom category.

For example, if you have an evented crafting station and you want the player to select an ingredient to combine with another ingredient, you can use this plugin to only display items in the ingredients category to them.

Roadmap

As with all of my plugins, this plugin will receive lots of support. There are already some planned features to be added in future updates. These include:

• Separate item commands in battle for different categories
• Item categories matter in equip screen
• Different handling for item/shop scenes
• Conditions for when categories become visible

Do you have any ideas you'd like to see added to the plugin not already listed above? Let me know in the comments or in my Discord's #suggestion channel! I appreciate all suggestions I get and add them all to my to-do list.

This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.

Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.
