## Optional

### Inventory

Any of the inventories supported by `ml_bridge`. Item metadata (used to store the diary serial in `'metadata'` mode) requires an inventory that persists per-slot custom fields.

- [ox_inventory](https://github.com/communityox/ox_inventory): Recommended. Native metadata + serials
- [qb-inventory](https://github.com/qbcore-framework/qb-inventory): Use the `unique = true` flag in items definition
- [codem-inventory](https://codem.tebex.io): Supported via bridge adapter
- [qs-inventory](https://quasar-store.com): Supported via bridge adapter

### Targeting

- [ox_target](https://github.com/communityox/ox_target): Used by model-type discoveries to render the "Examine" interaction. The interaction is hidden unless the player carries the diary item
