Installing on RPG Maker MZ

MZ has a slightly different folder structure than MV — the game data lives at the root level rather than inside a www/ subfolder.

Step 1 — Unpack the game (if needed)

If the game's assets are encrypted, decrypt them first before proceeding.

Step 2 — Download the plugin

Go to the Releases page and download the latest rpg-mz-cheat-{version}-core.tar.gz. Extract it anywhere.

Step 3 — Back up main.js

The plugin replaces main.js in the js/ folder at the game root:

{game directory}/
  js/
    main.js   ← copy this somewhere safe

Step 4 — Copy plugin files

Copy the extracted js/ and cheat/ folders directly into {game directory}/ (the game root), overwriting when prompted.

{game directory}/        ← copy here (not www/)
  js/
    main.js              ← replaced by plugin
    plugins.js
    ...
  cheat/                 ← new folder from plugin
  audio/
  data/
  img/
  ...

MZ vs MV difference

MV: copy into {game}/www/
MZ: copy into {game}/ (root)

Getting this wrong is the most common install mistake.

Step 5 — Launch and verify

Run the game executable. Press Ctrl + C to open the cheat window in the upper-right corner.
