When my friend Snowy from Project7 reached out to me about their newest creation – FiveM Inventory Editor – and I checked it out, I knew immediately that it would be a useful offline resource for staff teams all over FiveM. Project7 also has a few other helpful tools on their website such as their prop hash finder, and their collection of inventory item images.
What does the Inventory Editor do?
The inventory editor allows you to manage a players inventory offline, taking information directly from the database and allowing you to either just look it over, or make necessary adjustments. This FiveM Inventory Editing tool is intended to be utilized for players that are offline. You can not update a players inventory through the database if they are logged into the server. To edit someone’s inventory while they are on the server, please utilize your admin tools.
So let’s get started on how to use this FiveM Inventory Editor tool!
Step 1: Configure Your Inventory Slots
Every inventory system has a set number of slots, depending on the configuration you’re using. For example, ox_inventory allows 41 slots by default. Before you proceed, confirm the number of slots your server’s inventory system uses and configure the max slots accordingly.
Step 2: Collect Data from the Database
Locate the Player’s Inventory Data
- Open your database and navigate to the players table.
- Identify the player whose inventory you wish to edit. For this example, we’ll use a player named Moon.
- Scroll to the inventory column. This is where the inventory data is stored.
- Right-click the cell, select Copy, and save the data to your clipboard.
Here are two examples of data that you can put into the tool if you’d like to try for yourself!

Step 3: Paste Data into the Inventory Reader
Importing the Inventory Data
- Open the inventory tool website and paste the copied data into the designated input field.
- The tool will display the items in the inventory, organized by slots.
Note: Missing item images are normal. Since inventory scripts vary, the tool may not display images for every item. This will not affect functionality.
As you make changes in the tool, the query will automatically update. Let’s explore how to edit the inventory data next.
Step 4: Edit Inventory Data Using the FiveM Inventory Editor Tool
With the data imported, you can start managing the inventory. Here’s what you can do:
Adjust Item Placement
- Move Items: Click and drag an item to a new slot. If you move an item from one inventory square to another, the new position will be reflected in the updated query.
Right-Click Options
- Change Item Amount: Right-click an item, select Change Amount, and enter the desired quantity. The change will apply immediately.
- Split Items: To divide an item stack, right-click the item and use the slider to select the desired split amount. The split stack will move to the nearest free slot.
- Stack Items: Certain items are able to be stacked. When you click and drag these items on top of each other, you can stack them.
- Delete Items: Remove unwanted items by right-clicking them and selecting Delete.
- Add New Items: Select Add Item and input the following:
- Item Name: The item’s spawn code.
- Amount: The quantity to add.
- Metadata: Optional additional data, such as
{"durability":100}.
Step 5: Export and Update the Database
Exporting the Updated Query
Once you’ve completed your edits, the updated inventory data will be ready for export. Copy the new query from the tool.
Reintegrating Data into the Database
- Return to the database and navigate to the same inventory cell.
- Double-click the cell to open the editor panel.
- Paste the updated query into the cell and save your changes by clicking the green checkmark.
And that’s it! The next time the player logs in, their inventory will reflect the changes.
