Advanced Crafting

A complete crafting framework for FiveM built around persistent workbenches, visual tech trees, item metadata durability, and dynamic real-time administration.

Core Features

• Placeable Workbenches: Deploy portable workbenches anywhere using raycast or gizmo placement with fine adjustments using Shift, scroll wheel, or arrow keys. Placed benches survive server restarts via database persistence.
• Static Workbenches: Set fixed public or private benches in config with custom recipe pools, tech trees, and optional map blips.
• Branching Tech Trees: Unlock recipes through prerequisite skill branches using tech points earned from crafting. Supports individual or shared crew progression where one player's unlock opens access for everyone on that bench.
• Blueprint System: Require blueprints for specialized recipes. Includes metadata durability tracking for ox_inventory, legacy random destruction, and bench-type restrictions.
• Shared Crafting Queue: Process multiple crafts sequentially with real-time progress, individual player ownership tracking, material refunds on cancellation, and optional radius or UI movement locks.
• Crafting Stash: Dedicated inventory interface wrapped around your inventory framework with personal or shared persistent stashes, drag-and-drop materials, item searching, and ingredient filtering.
• Per-Workbench Leveling: Earn XP on every craft with per-bench specialization or optional shared global leveling.

Dynamic In-Game Admin Panel

Access /craftadmin to manage your server economy live without restarts:

• Recipe Management: Full CRUD controls for output amounts, required tools, ingredient lists, craft durations, level requirements, XP rewards, tech points, failure chances, blueprint requirements, and costs.
• Tech Tree Canvas: Built-in visual node editor featuring zoom, pan, and interactive SVG connection lines.
• Station Control: List, edit, teleport to, or delete static, player-placed, and admin-created benches.
• Queue Administration: Live queue monitoring with options to force complete, cancel with refund, or drop jobs.
• Player Management: View player records, reset progress, or edit XP, crafting levels, tech points, and unlocked tree nodes.

Access Control & Commerce

• Workbench Permissions: Bench owners manage access permissions via a dedicated UI tab, saved directly to the database. Permissions can also be disabled to leave benches open to everyone.
• Job and Gang Restrictions: Lock static or placed workbenches to specific job names, gang names, or minimum rank grades, adjustable on the fly via admin controls.
• Material Vendors: Setup NPC shop vendors that sell raw materials or portable bench props for cash or bank payments.
• Metadata Item Creation: Craft variant items with unique metadata values, such as custom strains, quality ratings, or durability parameters.

Tools & Technical Details

• Blueprint Graphic Tool: Includes a Node.js batch tool that generates custom blueprint inventory icons with color tinting, template overlays, and auto-detected item assets.
• Performance: Runs at 0.00ms idle and during UI navigation, peaking at 0.01ms while actively crafting. Uses server-side caching to reduce database load.
• Audit Logging: Native Discord embed webhooks, Grafana, Loki, Fivemerr, and FiveManage integration via logs.lua.
• Localization: Native English (en) and German (de) locales.

Compatibility & Requirements

• Frameworks: ESX (es_extended), QBCore (qb-core), and Qbox (qbx_core) with automatic framework detection.
