Custom items granted outside ~12,500 units from world origin cannot be equipped or shown in the hotbar

Summary

When a custom item is granted to a player, the player can receive it from anywhere on the island. However, when the player is more than approximately 12,000 Unreal units away from the world origin (0, 0, 0), the item does not appear in the hotbar and cannot be equipped.

The same item works correctly when the player is within approximately 12,000 units of the world origin.
