Categories (main menu)

Guide to configure the main menu. menus/categories.yml

For the general ITEM configuration please see Item config

Left clicking a category opens its collection list. Right clicking opens the category rewards menu if the category has levels defined in categories.yml. Categories locked behind a permission the player doesn't have can't be clicked.

Placeholders you can use in the category items:

  • {name} - name of the category

  • {progress_percent} and {progressbar} - category completion (based on collection levels)

  • {total}, {total_formatted}, {total_short} - total collected items in the category

  • {maxed_collection_count}, {total_collection_count}, {maxed_progress_percent}, {maxed_progressbar} - maxed out collections in the category

  • {unlocked_collection_count}, {unlocked_progress_percent}, {unlocked_progressbar} - unlocked (discovered) collections in the category

  • {lb_position}, {lb_position_percent}, {lb_size} - category leaderboard position

You can also use these global placeholders here (and in the custom items): {unlocked_total_count}, {total_all_collection_count}, {unlocked_total_percent} and {unlocked_total_progressbar}, which are based on every collection in every category.
