The Inventory system provides container-based item storage for entities. Inventory components define slot-based containers that hold item data, support stacking, and enable item transfer between entities (player to chest, vendor to player).
For component properties and the inventory data model, see the Framework API reference.
GS_Item is under active development. Core inventory functionality is operational, with additional features planned.

How Inventory Works
| Concept | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Container | A component on an entity that holds item slots. Players, chests, vendors, and loot drops are all containers. |
| Slot | An individual position within a container. Each slot holds one item type. |
| Stacking | Multiple units of the same item can occupy a single slot up to a maximum stack size. |
| Transfer | Items move between containers via slot references — no intermediate state required. |
