Weighted Inventory System for RPG Maker MZ

Give your players a reason to think twice before looting everything in sight. The Weighted Inventory System transforms your game's item collection into a strategic, immersive experience - all with effortless setup.

🔌 Plug-and-Play Simplicity

This plugin was built for creators who want results fast. No code. No events. No guesswork.

Just install, tag your items with weight values (or skip tagging for weightless items), and the system takes care of the rest. Default settings are ready to ship, making it a breeze to integrate into both new and existing projects.

🎒 Real-Time Inventory Weight Limits

Every item in your database can carry a custom weight - and the party has a carrying limit. As players explore and collect loot, the plugin quietly tracks weight in the background, capping their inventory when it's full. You control:

• How much the party can carry
• Which items matter (or don’t)
• The consequences of carrying too much

Perfect for survival games, dungeon crawlers, or any game where loot has value.

📊 Clean, Customizable Inventory HUD

The Item scene features a subtle HUD window that shows the player's current inventory weight, max capacity, and unit type (lbs, kg, stones - your call).

This helps players make decisions without having to dig through menus. Want it semi-transparent? Hidden in cutscenes? You can configure it all through the plugin parameters.

🔔 Smart On-Screen Warnings

No setup required - the plugin displays messages when:

• The player is approaching max capacity (with customizable “nearly full” text)
• The player is at or over the weight limit and tries to collect more

These messages display automatically in both gameplay and inventory screens and disappear after a short delay. Want them to blend in without a window background? There’s a toggle for that too.

🧪 Use + 🧹 Trash: Clean Item Interaction for All Items

Every item in the inventory - consumable, equipment, material, or key item - opens a smooth two-option menu when selected:

• Use: Applies the RPG Maker effect if the item has one (like healing an actor)
• Trash: Instantly deletes one unit of that item from the inventory, freeing up weight

This means players can manage their packs quickly and naturally - no clutter, no frustration.

🧰 In-Game Bag Upgrades (Plugin Command Included)

Want the player’s inventory to grow over time? Easy.

Use the built-in plugin command to increase or decrease the max carrying capacity at any point in your game. Great for:

• Buying larger backpacks from shops
• Gaining weight bonuses through story progression
• Temporary inventory boosts during quests

One command. Total flexibility.
