Resource Gen 8-Style Item Find Description 2.0

[hostman]

I copy and paste into plugins, but it doesn't work, I keep collecting the objects the same, do you know why?

Working in v20.1 after changing
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, -1, @viewport)
to
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, nil, @viewport)

Thank you TechSkylander1518 for this solution!

It's also compatible with v21.1 as far as I have tested.

In my game in version 21.1 the plugin didn't work, so I tweaked what I could and managed to make it work correctly for items and berries.

end

Even though this plugin seems simple, it helps you know what the item does whenever you receive it and without having to look for a bag, so I think it's very good
