Using the archive
The archive uses one effective record for each item ID, keeping the definition the game resolves after duplicate source entries are accounted for.
Every displayed record has a translated name and verified native icon. Untranslated runtime definitions are not presented as ordinary player-facing items.
Weapons, food, clothing, containers, literature, medical items, lights, and drainables expose the configuration fields that are useful for comparison.
Recipe, loot, farming, fishing, foraging, and animal relationships connect this archive to the earlier Build 42 databases without duplicating their full tables.
Reading the values
Weapon values are most useful against other weapons, clothing defenses against other clothing, and food values against similar portions.
Loot counts summarize resolved connections. Open the Loot Finder for the actual container path, procedural pool, rolls, and relative weight.
The source files define item values, but skills, condition, sandbox settings, character state, and runtime code can still change final gameplay behavior.
Item database FAQ
This database contains 4,489 translated, usable item definitions from Project Zomboid Build 42.20.4. They span 76 source categories and 14 underlying item types.
The database uses the effective definition for each unique item ID and excludes definitions that are untranslated or lack a usable icon. A small Other and Internal group preserves rare source categories without mixing them into the main survival categories.
Yes. Items connected to loot distributions show direct-source and procedural-pool counts. Use the Loot Finder link for the exact paths, pools, roll settings, and relative weights.
Yes. The selected-item panel lists mined recipes that accept the item as an explicit or tagged input, plus recipes with a resolved item output. Dynamic runtime recipe results remain labeled only on the Crafting page when the source does not identify a fixed output.
The interface formats known decimal-based values into readable percentages while retaining the source number in the generated dataset. Other configuration values are labeled according to their source unit and are not turned into unsupported gameplay claims.
Some definitions are simple inventory, cosmetic, world, or runtime objects. They may only define a category, item type, icon, weight, and tags, while weapons, food, clothing, containers, books, and medical items expose more specialized values.
