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 must 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 in the Play inventory. To access the Play inventory screen, press Tab then 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 Explosive Items
Players can throw these items to damage structures and players by using the aiming arc.

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 registering 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 Blast Powder and Metal as items needed to craft a Proximity Mine.
