Minimalist Inventory System that is built from the ground up for multiplayer games, suitable for both Listen Server and Dedicated Server Architecture.
This plugin was designed to be as easy and approachable to use without sacrificing on the power and capabilities. It uses C++ on the backend with Unreal Engines FastArray so the only the data that was changed will be replicated, minimising the bandwidth and latency. Also, it has a wide range of systems that often required for a variety of different games and can offer you the flexibility needed to make something unique. It is designed to be modular and with the end goal of functionality and ease of integration into an existing project.
