Elements for RPG Maker

Elements is actively developed and regularly updated. Some features may still be experimental, and occasional bugs or unfinished areas may occur.

What Is Elements?

Elements is a visual UI toolset for RPG Maker MV and MZ. It allows you to create custom HUDs, menus, windows, and interactive interfaces directly inside your game without having to build every part manually through code.

Create layouts, connect them to your game data, and preview your changes while you work. Elements is designed to give you more control over your game's interface while keeping the process approachable and flexible.

The Elements Editor

The editor includes a dedicated viewport where you can zoom and pan around your game canvas while creating your layouts. Docked panels, customizable themes, grid settings, snapping, and editor preferences help make the workflow more comfortable.

• Visual layout editing with selection, movement, resizing, and positioning tools.
• Customizable viewport and grid with zoom, snapping, color, size, and opacity controls.
• Undo and redo support with keyboard shortcuts for common editing actions.
• Light and dark editor themes with settings saved between sessions.
• Project data pickers for working with actors, items, variables, switches, and other RPG Maker data.
• Presets and action chains for creating more dynamic and reusable interfaces.
• Context menus and editor tools for quickly accessing common editing actions.

What Can You Create?

Elements can be used to build many different kinds of interfaces, including:

• Custom HUDs and status displays
• Health, resource, and progress gauges
• Interactive buttons and windows
• Inventory and shop interfaces
• Quest and objective displays
• Character, skill, and equipment screens
• Scrollable lists and menu layouts
• Custom overlays and in-game panels

Elements can connect UI elements to game data and actions, allowing interfaces to respond to variables, switches, actors, items, events, and other systems in your game.

Compatibility

• RPG Maker MV
• RPG Maker MZ
• Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Mouse and keyboard support

Development Status

Elements is an ongoing project, and development is continuing with a focus on improving the editor, expanding the available elements and presets, and making the workflow more reliable.

Updates will continue to include new features, bug fixes, compatibility improvements, and general polish. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome, especially from developers using Elements in their own projects.
