Notes
- Available only in server-side resource scripts.
- Inventory is server-authoritative. The runtime cache is updated by accepted native world-item pickups and drops, completed native consumable uses, and successful Lua inventory mutations.
Available from 0.1.9. Use matching updated server and clients.
Registered custom keys
This existing API also accepts the canonical item string from registerKeyDefinition in 0.1.9. Server registration, active definition and appropriate presentation readiness are required for mutations; use isPlayerKeyDefinitionReady. Do not pass the donor model alias as the custom item identity. Existing call shapes and limits remain; spawnItem creates one world item per call, whereas give/remove counts can manage copies. See Custom keys for safe server-side issuance, drop, pickup and persistence.
