From Create mode, press the Tab key, then click CREATIVE on the top navigation bar to select the CREATIVE inventory screen if not already displayed.
Click the CONSUMABLES tab.
Scroll to find and select the item, use the Search box to look up the item by name, or check the list of relevant Categories specific to the item you're looking for to filter the view.
Click the item, then click either Equip or Add To Chest.

Clicking Equip will add the item to your Equipment bar. When you're back in Create mode, you can view any items you've equipped by pressing the F key. You can select equipped items by either scrolling your middle mouse button or by pressing its corresponding number on your keyboard.

From the Chest tab, you can select either Create Chest or Create Llama to store the items in a chest or a llama for use in-game.

Chests and llamas are a great way to offer item bundles to players. Selecting Add To Chest will add the item to the Chest tab. Each time you click Add To Chest, the item count will increase by one, shown as a yellow box on the Chest tab.

You can add up to fifteen items to the Chest tab. When it’s full, the Add To Chest button will disappear. You first have to remove items from the Chest tab to add more.

There are many ways to offer these items to players. Use any devices under the Registering Items section to offer or require these items during gameplay.

Managing Items

You can manage these items when you are in Play inventory. To access the Play inventory screen, press Tab and click Play in the top navigation bar. Here, you can swap item positions or drop them from your Equipment bar.

You cannot reposition or copy items with the phone tool. To delete an item from your inventory in Create mode, you will have to select either Respawn or Back To Hub from the Menu. When you do this, your inventory clears.

Using Grenade Items

While in Create mode, these items can be used by holding the right mouse button. Use the aiming arc to position and throw the item at your target.

	Item	Usage
	Grenade	Can be thrown to damage players and structures. Any players or structures immediately within its blast radius will be eliminated. Players can equip up to 6 of this item in a stack.
	Chiller Grenade	Can be thrown at a player to freeze their feet, causing them to slide at increased speeds. The blast from this device will push the player to uncontrollably slide in one direction. A player can also throw this item at their own feet to slide. To control their slide direction, a player can throw this item to land opposite of the direction they would like to travel. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to 6 of this item in a stack.
	Smoke Grenade	Can be thrown to produce a 20-second cloud of smoke that obstructs the player’s view. Players with a thermal effect will not be affected by this grenade. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to 10 of these items in a stack.
	Purple Paint Grenade	Purple paint that can be thrown at players and vehicles to change their color for five seconds. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to 15 of this item in a stack.
	Orange Paint Grenade	Orange paint that can be thrown at players and vehicles to change their color for five seconds. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to 15 of this item in a stack.
	Impulse Grenade	Can be thrown at a player’s feet to knock them back after a brief delay. A player can also throw this item at their own feet to jump a short distance away from combat. To control their jump, a player can throw this item to land opposite of the direction they would like to launch. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to six of this item in a stack.
	Shockwave Grenade	Like the Impulse Grenade, can be thrown at a player’s feet to knock them back after a brief delay, but for a longer distance. A player can also throw this item at their own feet to long jump away from combat. To control their jump, a player can throw this item to land opposite of the direction they would like to launch. This grenade deals no damage. Players can equip up to 6 of this item in a stack.

Registering Items

You can drop items directly onto devices that can either hold or grant items. You must register these items to save in the device's memory.

To register items to a device, stand directly on or immediately beside the device.

To register an item for this kind of device, follow the steps below. (You can also watch a video tutorial that shows you how to register items, for crafting or other in-game use.)

In the CREATIVE inventory, find the equipment and items you want to register with a device and equip them.
In Create mode, stand directly beside the device that will register the item.
Press the Tab key to open the PLAY inventory screen.
Click the item, then press either Z or X to split or drop the item. You can also drag the item to the side until a backpack icon appears.

The compatible device will automatically register the dropped item. Compatible devices that can hold items include:

Vending Machine
Team Settings & Inventory
Class Designer
Capture Item Spawner
Capture Area
Item Granter
Item Spawner
Conditional Button
Elimination Manager
Item Remover

Use these devices to set up a system for granting and spawning items onto your island.

Using Items for Crafting

You can pair items with each other and with weapons to create the process of crafting, where players exchange one item or group of items for another.

To do this, choose from the list of compatible devices above like the Conditional Button and Item Spawner to set up the crafting process.

For example, you can require Hop Drop and Blast Powder as items needed to craft a Shockwave Grenade.
