This page is a step-by-step install for bs_brewery on FiveM. Item definitions are large; you copy them from the resource files listed below and merge them into your inventory’s items file (or QBCore shared items). Small reference snippets are included here for merge shape, server.cfg order, and images.

Before you start (checklist)

Requirement	Notes
MLO	Dolo Beer Factory — required; coordinates assume this interior
ox_lib	Notifications, inputs, callbacks
ox_inventory	Items, stashes, shop, searches — required for this script
ox_target	Brewery interactions
oxmysql	Database
Framework	One of: qbx_core (Qbox), qb-core (QBCore), es_extended (ESX)

1) Add the resource

Copy the bs_brewery folder into your server (for example resources/[standalone]/bs_brewery).
Do not rename the folder unless you know how to update every nui:// / resource reference (default name is bs_brewery).

2) Database

Open your MySQL tool (HeidiSQL, phpMyAdmin, CLI, etc.).
Select the same database your oxmysql connection uses.
Run the contents of:

bs_brewery/sql/install.sql

Optional (CLI example):

mysql -u YOUR_USER -p YOUR_DATABASE < /path/to/bs_brewery/sql/install.sql

The citizenid column stores QBCore/Qbox citizenid or ESX identifier, depending on Config.Framework.

3) Framework setting

Edit bs_brewery/shared/config.lua:

Config.Framework = 'qbx' -- 'qbx' | 'qb' | 'esx'

Qbox: 'qbx'
QBCore: 'qb'
ESX: 'esx'

Set Config.Currency ('cash' or 'bank') to match how you want the shop and payouts to charge/pay.

4) Item installation (by framework)

This script expects all item names used in shared/config.lua / recipes to exist in ox_inventory (even on QBCore/ESX if you use ox_inventory for gameplay).

Source files in the resource

File	Use when
`bs_brewery/items/ox_items.lua`	ox_inventory (Qbox, QBCore+ox, ESX+ox) — full `return { ... }` ox item table
`bs_brewery/items/esx_items.lua`	ESX + ox_inventory — same ox shape; keep in sync with `ox_items.lua`
`bs_brewery/items/qb_items.lua`	QBCore `QBShared.Items` (qb-inventory style metadata) — not a full `return` file

A) Qbox (QBX) — ox_inventory

Target file (typical): ox_inventory/data/items.lua

Here you will copy items in to your items.lua file in ox_inventory.

Steps

Open bs_brewery/items/ox_items.lua in an editor.
Copy only the entries inside the main table: from the first ['pale_malt'] (or first ['...'] after return {) through the last item before the closing } of that file — do not paste a second return {.
In ox_inventory/data/items.lua, paste those lines inside your existing return { ... }, with a comma after the previous last item.
Ensure recipe books keep their use callbacks exactly as in the resource file (see snippet below).
Save, then restart ox_inventory, then bs_brewery.

Recipe books — use must call the server (copy as-is if missing):

['recipe_book_basic'] = {
    label = 'Basic Brewing Guide',
    weight = 500,
    stack = false,
    close = true,
    description = 'Introduction to brewing basics. Right-click to use.',
    use = function(event, item, inventory, slot, data)
        TriggerServerEvent('bs_brewery:server:useRecipeBook', item.name)
    end,
},

Repeat the same use pattern for: recipe_book_intermediate, recipe_book_advanced, recipe_book_master, recipe_book_legendary (full blocks are in items/ox_items.lua).

Item images (ox_inventory)

PNG files ship under bs_brewery/items/*.png. If icons do not show, add a client block per item (example):

['pale_malt'] = {
    label = 'Pale Malt (2-Row)',
    weight = 1000,
    stack = true,
    close = true,
    description = '...',
    client = {
        image = 'nui://bs_brewery/items/pale_malt.png',
    },
},

If your inventory already resolves images by item name + default path, you may not need client.image.

B) QBCore — ox_inventory (recommended)

If players use ox_inventory on QBCore:

Set Config.Framework = 'qb' in bs_brewery/shared/config.lua.
Merge bs_brewery/items/ox_items.lua into ox_inventory/data/items.lua using the same steps as section A (ox format is identical).

You do not need qb_items.lua for ox_inventory-only setups.

C) QBCore — `QBShared.Items` (qb-inventory / classic QB item table)

Use this path if your stack still relies on qb-core/shared/items.lua (or a merged items file) with ['item'] = { ['name'] = ... } shape.

Target file (typical): qb-core/shared/items.lua inside QBShared.Items = { ... }.

Steps

Open bs_brewery/items/qb_items.lua.
Delete the template dummy block at the top (['item_name'] = { ... },) — do not add that to QBShared.Items.
Copy all real entries from ['pale_malt'] through the last brewery item.
Paste inside QBShared.Items = { ... } with valid commas between entries.
Ensure images exist where your inventory expects them (often qb-inventory/html/images or your inventory’s image folder); filenames in the resource use itemname.png.
Restart qb-core (or your items resource) and bs_brewery.

Note: Recipe books in qb_items.lua may not include ox-style use functions. If you use ox_inventory for books, prefer merging ox_items.lua recipe book entries (with use) into ox_inventory instead.

D) ESX — ox_inventory

Set Config.Framework = 'esx' in bs_brewery/shared/config.lua.
Merge bs_brewery/items/esx_items.lua (or ox_items.lua — same ox table shape) into ox_inventory/data/items.lua using the same merge method as section A.
Restart ox_inventory, then bs_brewery.

Config.Currency = 'cash' maps to the ESX money account in the server bridge; 'bank' maps to bank.

5) `server.cfg` load order

Start dependencies before bs_brewery. Example:

ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ox_inventory
ensure ox_target

# Framework (pick one ecosystem)
ensure qbx_core
# OR: ensure qb-core
# OR: ensure es_extended

# MLO (example — use your map resource name)
ensure dolo_beer_factory

ensure bs_brewery

Adjust names to match your actual resource folder names.

6) Verify

Join the server, go to the brewery MLO.
Open brewery storage / shop — if items are missing, ox_inventory will error or refuse; fix merges.
Use a recipe book from inventory — the UI should open; if not, confirm use → bs_brewery:server:useRecipeBook on those items in ox_inventory.
Start a short mash/boil test to confirm callbacks and DB tables respond.

7) Troubleshooting

Symptom	Things to check
Shop / stash “cannot open”	Item names in `ox_inventory/data/items.lua` missing or typo’d vs `shared/config.lua`
Recipe book does nothing	`use` missing on book items in ox_inventory; event must be `bs_brewery:server:useRecipeBook`
Wrong framework errors	`Config.Framework` matches your core; core starts before `bs_brewery`
No images	Add `client.image` with `nui://bs_brewery/items/<name>.png`, or match your inventory’s image convention
DB errors	Re-run `sql/install.sql`; confirm oxmysql points at that DB
