Inventory System: Consuming Items

Some items can be “used up” or consumed.
This is optional but useful for certain game systems.

What Consumable Items Are

Consumable items have a usage count.
Examples:

• Event tokens

• Crafting materials

• Temporary boosts

• Limited‑use items

How Consumption Works

A consumable item includes:

• RemainingUses

• UsageCount

When the player uses the item, PlayFab reduces the count.

When to Use Consumables

• Seasonal events

• Crafting systems

• Temporary power‑ups

• Limited‑time rewards

Best Practices

• Only use consumables when needed

• Keep usage counts small

• Use CloudScript to validate consumption

• Never let the client consume items directly
