Categories

Categories are used to organize items stored inside the Warehouse.

A well-organized category structure makes it easier for players to browse and find the items they need.

Categories are created and managed through the Warehouse Administration Menu.


Opening Category Management

Open a Warehouse Chest and select the Command Block to open the Administration Menu.

From the Administration Menu, select the option for managing categories.

Internal Name

The first step is entering the category's Internal Name.

The Internal Name is used internally by RS-Warehouse and must be unique.

For example:

building_blocks

The Internal Name is not normally shown to players.

NOTE: Choose the Internal Name carefully. It should be unique and should describe the purpose of the category.

Display Name

Next, enter the Display Name.

The Display Name is the name players will see in the Warehouse Category Menu.

Examples:

  • Building Blocks
  • Food
  • Farming
  • Combat
  • Redstone

Selecting an Icon

After entering the category names, choose the material that will represent the category in the Warehouse Category Menu.

RS-Warehouse provides a Material Picker that allows you to select from available Minecraft materials.

Choose an item that best represents the category.

For example:

  • Grass Block for Building Blocks
  • Wheat for Farming
  • Apple for Food
  • Iron Sword for Combat

Adding a Description

You can optionally add a description to the category.

The description is displayed as lore when players view the category.

Descriptions can be used to explain what belongs inside the category.

For example:

Building materials and decorative blocks.

Finishing the Category

Once the category information has been completed, confirm the creation.

The new category will then appear in the Warehouse Category Menu.

You can now begin organizing items into the category.

If the category contains a large number of items, you can further organize them using Subcategories.


Organizing Your Warehouse

You can create as many categories as needed to organize your Warehouse.

A simple example might look like:

Warehouse
│
├── Building Blocks
├── Food
├── Farming
├── Combat
├── Redstone
└── Miscellaneous

Items can later be moved between categories as your Warehouse grows and changes.

For information about moving items, see Moving Items.

For information about creating categories within categories, see Subcategories.
