🛠️ Layout Items

Layout items are shop buttons (e.g., next page, menu) that are shown on every page that uses this layout.

items:
  Previous:

    MenuItem:
      - type:ARROW
      - amount:1
      - name:&f&lPrevious
      - 'lore:&7Go back to the previous page.'
    Message: ''
    InventoryLocation: 46
    ExtraPermission: ''
    Condition:
      - type:page
      - over:1

  Menu:
    RewardType: shop
    Reward: menu
    PriceType: nothing
    MenuItem:

    Message: ''

📝 Notes

• You can use %maxpage% and page conditions to control when navigation items appear.
• The layout is only used when the number of shop items exceeds available slots, unless ShowIfMultiplePagesOnly is set to false.
