In RPG Maker MV, there exists only four categories seen in the item menu: Items, Weapons, Armors, and Key Items. Adding extra categories wouldn’t be possible without plugins. This plugin, through the help of Item Core, will allow you to add in many more categories in addition to many premade ones that are automatically added based on weapon types, armor types, equipment types, item usage, and more!
This is a collaboration plugin by Sylvester and Yanfly to ensure compatibility with the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.

To change the item categories that appear in the item menu, go to the plugin parameters and alter the list. Separate each category with a comma (,). Each
category must be spelled correctly using the following formats:
———————– ————————————————–

An example of a list that would display something like:
Items
Key Items
Dagger
Sword
Bodygear
Accessory
Herbs
Would look like this for the plugin parameters:
Items, KeyItems, WType:1, WType2, AType1, AType2, Category:Herbs
The categories go in the order they’re listed so plan them out accordingly.
Notetags
To add custom categories to items, use the following notetag:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Item, Weapon, and Armor Notetags:
<Menu Category: x>
<Menu Category: x, x, x>
– Replace ‘x’ with the category name you wish to give the item. Insert multiples of this tag to insert more categories. These categories will be used in combination with the Category:x plugin parameter syntax keyword.
For Example:
<Menu Category: Herbs>
Would require this syntax keyword in the plugin parameters:
Category:Herbs
If you use the version of the notetag with multiple categories, it would work something like this:
<Menu Category: Herbs, Potions, Elixirs>
Plugin Parameter:
Category:Herbs, Category:Potions, Category:Elixirs
**Note** The notetag does not apply for any of the pre-made categories.
Happy RPG Making!
