Build & Decorate System for RPG Maker MZ
(Art from finalbossblues' Omega Modern asset pack)
Build & Decorate System is a plugin for RPG Maker MZ that lets players place persistent furniture and decor on maps using template events. Define items once on a Template Map, paint where placement is allowed, and the system handles live previews, collision, rotation, and saving. It is built for speed and reliability, ideal for housing, life sims, bases, and player rooms.

Hello, I have question, i am using the Dot move system and was wondering if the furniture could be placed based on pixel movement as well or only tile based placement.
Unfortunately it only supports tile-based placement. I use DotMove as well and have tried to implement pixel-based placement but it’s very difficult to do and quite fragile when it comes to save/load persistence.
Oh Okay. Thank you for letting me know
hey really interested in This but in game I can only access the start furniture placement menu I can’t access the furniture movement system/redecorate system since their is no plugin command in my project for opening the redecorate menu?
Hi there. There is a plugin command called Open Management Mode. That should open the redecorate menu. Just a word of caution: it will only open if there is a furniture item already placed since, without it, there's nothing to redecorate.
Just start furniture placement and compact furniture event array
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a missing command in the header. I've fixed it in v1.0.1: https://bitqueststudio.itch.io/build-decorate/devlog/1563948/changelog-v-101.
Very interested in this. Can I add events? For example If I place a crafting table then I would need to add the crafting event to it. Thanks!
Yes, all the furniture items you see are events in a template map so you can add anything you want to them!
Hot dog!
Hey, I purchased this but there seem to be some steps missing on how to define what a furniture item in your inventory is? Is that via note tags?
Also is it possible to have a map already have some existing furniture that can be removed / moved by the player?
You're right. That is missing from the documentation. I'll add it.
In the item’s note section, write <FurnitureTemplateId:X>. Switch X with the event ID in the template map.
Unfortunately, that feature doesn't exist in the plugin. Furniture has to be placed/moved/removed by the player.
