Crafting Table

Hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our plugin:
Crafting Table.

Before we continue, we would like to remind you that all of our plugins work within the environment:   
RPG Maker MZ ↔ PC Windows ↔ NWJS

If you use other platforms or devices, we cannot guarantee correct operation because unfortunately we have no way to test them. Please keep this in mind before proceeding.

Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.

Plugin Overview

Name of the pluginCrafting Table
Platform:RPG Maker MZ
Available versionsDemo: Yes | Full: Yes
Sample project included?No

FULL-EXPERIENCE MODE

Plugin Details: Crafting Table

With this plugin you can add a flexible and engaging crafting system to your RPG Maker MZ game. It simulates a crafting table where players arrange items in a 3x3 grid to create new items, similar to classic crafting mechanics.

This gives players a hands-on way to combine resources and turn basic materials into useful equipment, potions, or special objects.

Features

  • 3x3 Crafting Grid:

    Players open a crafting interface and place items from their inventory into a 3x3 grid of slots. When the correct combination is arranged, the game automatically recognizes the recipe and allows crafting.



  • Easy Recipe Setup:

    You define recipes directly in the note box of the resulting item. Simply list the required item IDs in the order of the 3x3 grid (with 0 for empty slots). This method is straightforward and does not require complex scripting.



  • Conditional Crafting:

    You can restrict recipes using game switches or variables. For example, a powerful weapon might only be craftable after completing a story event or reaching a certain level.



  • Custom Messages and Feedback:

    The plugin displays clear messages when a recipe is successful, when conditions are not met, or when more items are needed.



Use Examples

  • Resource Management and Progression:

    In survival or adventure games, players gather materials throughout the world and return to a crafting station to create better weapons, armor, or healing items. The grid system makes crafting feel rewarding and strategic.



  • Story-Locked Advanced Items:

    Use conditions to lock powerful or unique recipes behind story milestones. Early in the game players can craft basic potions, but only after key events can they craft rare equipment, creating a natural sense of growth and discovery.



  • Economy and Player Choice:

    By adding a gold cost to certain recipes, you encourage players to earn money through quests or selling items. This creates meaningful decisions about what to craft and when, adding depth to the game's economy.

Differences between the Versions

Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.

Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.

Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?

At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.

This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.

Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.

FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.

For more information on this topic, visit our website or contact us directly through our support page: https://undermax.online/undermax/support.html

Hi, is there a native way to do Conditional recipes where, depending on either a variable, or the first party member, the recipe changes. Also, in a similar way, could I make 2 items with the same recipe, but depending on the player character you either make Item A or B. (Eg Basic Stone Axe for character A, and Fragile Stone Axe for character B)

Hi! How are you?

I understand what you’re saying. The plugin doesn’t have a “selector” system for recipes. Which means it has no way of using the same recipe to create two possible results due to how it’s built. Since when the game runs, all recipes are analyzed along with how they are created. I’m sure that functionality could be implemented, but it would require updating several things in the plugin and changing how it works.

What occurs to me that you could do for now to work around this, I know it might not be the most effective, but it could work for a specific case,  is to have that recipe create, for example, an item called “Weapon Box,” and when executed it calls a common event, and from there you can give the weapon you want depending on the conditions and the party member you choose.

I know it’s not what you expected, but maybe it can help you work around that need.

Hmmm, that could work a fallback. I'll see if I can make an addon-script to replace the crafted placeholder item "Eg Stone Axe" with the actual item they get.

This plugin does not account for inconsistencies between Graphics.width and Graphics.boxWidth, or between Graphics.height and Graphics.boxHeight, which leads to misaligned windows, composite animations, and buttons.

I'm gonna ask a really stupid question: how do you... open the crafting table screen? I keep re-reading the instructions and can't find how.

Hello! How are you? You should be able to use the plugin command normally from your editor. Make sure the plugin is installed correctly. ^^

Thank you! The plugin is working fine - I just misread the instructions and kept hitting 'Shift' to open the Crafting Table.

Hello!

Sorry for the bother, but I have a minor question/petition.

Is there a way to separate/move the squares of the crafting table?

I want to use an Octagram as the background image for the crafting part and aesthetically it would look better if each square aligns with each point of the Octagram  (the square at the center is fine where it is).

Is fine if it's not possible. It's just for aesthetically purposes in the end. Aside from that, the plugin is everything I needed for my game.

Cheers!

Hello! How are you?

Don't worry, your question doesn't bother me at all. The thing is that this is handled by RPG MAKER MZ, since the system uses Windows Selectable (which basically, in simple terms, is what allows you to make selections) and it operates with rows and columns, and let's say it doesn't have "individual" control over each selectable item. The only solution would be to create 8 individual Windows Selectables and then combine them, but I think that could break everything, haha.

Anyway, I will try to see if I can find a solution for what you need, and if I succeed, I will let you know. But for now, I'm leaning more towards no than yes, but I don't want to speak without trying first.

Thank you for the fast reply!

As I said before, it just a minor thing so is fine if you don't try too hard. It's a shame but still I can make it work in my game.

Also, thanks for the neat plugin, works like a charm!

Undermax310 days ago (1 edit)

I was trying some things, but it turned out terrible xD

Not to mention the poor control it has since being a Windows Selectable, the controls go crazy and it's not very intuitive.
The thing is, it's designed to work like a square table haha.

Anyway, I might not be able to implement what you want, but I promise to update the plugin with some improvements to at least make up for it. Does that sound good to you? ^^

Thanks for the support and trust.

I'm sending you an image so you can see that at least I tried lol.

Is fine, really!

It was just a minor thing but thanks for the effort.

And any upgrade is welcomed, of course.

I have updated the plugin to version 1.1.0, I hope it at least works for you ^^

This was exactly what I needed, thank you!
Since I have a lot of usable and unusable items I made a small change to line 1142 so it would only show usable items:
return $gameParty.hasItem(item) && DataManager.isItem(item) && this.isEnabled(item);
It's my first time using RMMZ so if there's a better way to do it, or the plugin gets updated with something like this, I'd love to know, thanks :)

Hi, there! I just purchased this (amazing) plugin, but I've discovered an error in compatibility with Visustella's Message Core? I bug tested it and it's specifically that plugin it's not running with. It says, 'Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined'.

Hello, thank you for your support! I'm glad you liked it.

I can't always guarantee compatibility with plugins from other authors, but since this time it's something that can be easily resolved, I have already updated the plugin to try to provide compatibility with that plugin.

Best regards! :)


Please update the plugin to  v1.0.1 to fix this issue.
