Configure options and click generate
A random item generator selects everyday objects, tools, or supplies from a curated list so you can run scavenger hunts, game prompts, packing lists, or brainstorming sessions without building lists manually. It is designed for activities and inspiration—not as a shopping catalog, inventory system, or product search.
This Muxgen tool runs in your browser: set item-count (default 1), pick a Category, toggle Allow duplicate items, generate emerald item result cards, and copy. No account and no server upload for your picks.
Three simple steps from category filter to copy-ready item lists.
Enter item-count (default 1), then pick a Category chip from 7 options including All categories.
Toggle Allow duplicate items for repeats up to 100, or turn it off for unique-only batches capped by the category pool (20–120).
Click Generate Item, review emerald item cards, then Copy to clipboard for hunt lists, chat, or packing notes.
Every control in the random item generator component.
Number input min 1 — max 100 with duplicates on, or maxBatchForItemSettings when duplicates off. Default 1.
7 toggle buttons from ITEM_CATEGORY_FILTER_OPTIONS — default All categories.
Checked by default — enables repeated items and raises max count to 100. Unchecked uses a used Set for unique picks within the pool.
Live pool.length from getItemPool — updates when category changes; disables generate at zero.
Primary button — plural label when count > 1; disabled when pool.length === 0.
Right panel shows emerald bordered cards with centered item names, or empty state "Configure options and click generate" with puzzle emoji.
Ghost button — formatItemCopyList comma-separated export; Copied! feedback for two seconds.

Returns flat merged array for All, or ITEMS[category] when narrowed to one pool.
({ category, count, allowDuplicates }) returns a string[] — builds a batch from pool with duplicate or unique logic.

120 curated entries — 20 per category across 6 pools in ITEMS.
