This is a list of createitem commands for DFHack.

Not to be confused with gui/create-item, an interactive Lua script, or create-items, a Ruby script with different syntax and support for fewer types of items.

Usage

Format:

createitem [Item token] [Material] [Quantity (optional)]

NOTE: A much simpler alternative is available via the dfhack terminal gui/hack-wish. It is a basic GUI which guides you through which item you want to create, then the material, and finally the quality modifier.
"createitem" must be run with a creature/unit selected and will place items at their feet.
A list of valid item tokens can be found here. Note that CORPSE, CORPSEPIECE, and FOOD are not supported by DFHack.
You can create multiple items at once by appending a number to the createitem command (e.g. createitem BOULDER INORGANIC:HEMATITE 20). Note that certain item types will be created in stacks, while others will be created as individual items - see the Reactions page for more information.
Text in italics should be replaced with the ID from the relevant raw page on this wiki. For example, to make goblin-cap logs, visit the goblin-cap page and view the raws. The ID is found in the first token, separated from the item type with a colon - for example, the ID for goblin-caps is GOBLIN_CAP, retrieved from [PLANT:GOBLIN_CAP].
