Crafting System - RPG Maker MZ Plugin

created because i wanted it for my game, sharing it because its a bonus and if it leads to someone buying me a coffee that is worth it alone!

✅ What This Plugin Already Does

🔧 Core Crafting System

• ✔ Item requirements (consumed)

• ✔ Tool requirements (not consumed)

• ✔ Success products

• ✔ Fail products

• ✔ Success % per recipe

• ✔ Progress bar (0 → 100)

• ✔ Craft time per recipe

• ✔ Learn new recipes on success

• ✔ Forget recipe after crafting

• ✔ Beginner-friendly notetags

• ✔ Plugin commands to:

  • Learn recipe

  • Forget recipe

📜 Recipe Discovery

Recipes are not items themselves — instead, they’re defined via item notetags, plugin commands and unlocked when needed.

You can unlock recipes by:

• Using an item

• Plugin command

• Story events

🧱 Progress Bar System

• Each recipe has a CraftTime

• Progress fills smoothly to 100

• At 100:

  • Rolls success chance

  • Gives success OR fail products

🧭 Menu Integration

• Crafting appears in default MZ menu

• Can be:

  • Renamed

  • Disabled entirely (for devs who don’t want it there)

🧪 Example Recipe (Copy–Paste Friendly)

Put this in any item’s note box:

<CraftRecipe> Category: Weapons Subcategory: Swords Quality: Epic SuccessRate: 80 CraftTime: 120 Unique: true LearnOnSuccess: 15 ForgetOnSuccess: true </CraftRecipe>  <CraftReqItem: 1,5> <CraftReqTool: 3> <CraftProduct: 10,1> <CraftFailProduct: 11,1> 

What this does:

• Needs 5 Item #1 (consumed)

• Needs Tool Item #3 (not consumed)

• 80% success rate

• Takes ~2 seconds

• Produces Item #10 on success

• Produces Item #11 on failure

• Can only be crafted once

• Learns recipe #15 on success
