Patterns

Patterns are reusable inventory templates that add common elements. They are stored in plugins/zAuctionHouse/patterns/ and can be included in any inventory.

How Patterns Work

• Patterns are applied in order; later patterns can override earlier ones
• Items from patterns can be overridden by the including inventory
• Multiple patterns can be combined in a single inventory

Using Patterns

Include patterns in your inventory files:

name: "My Inventory"
size: 54

patterns:
  - 'zauctionhouse-decoration'
  - 'zauctionhouse-pagination'
  - 'zauctionhouse-back'

items:
  # Your items here (override pattern slots as needed)

Creating Custom Patterns

You can create your own patterns in the patterns/ folder:

# patterns/my-custom-pattern.yml
name: "my-custom-pattern"
size: 54

items:
  my-element:
    is-permanent: true
    slots:
      - 0
      - 8
    item:
      material: DIAMOND
      name: "&bDecoration"

Then use it in your inventories:

patterns:
  - 'my-custom-pattern'

astuce

Pattern names must be unique across all pattern files.
