# Dependencies

> Required and optional dependencies for ML Vehicle Persistence

Category: VEHICLE PERSISTENCE · Source: https://miciomods.it/docs/ml-vehicle-persistence-dependencies · Last updated: 2026-07-28

## Required

- [ml_bridge](https://portal.cfx.re) - Framework and inventory abstraction, ownership lookups, notifications, logging
- [ox_lib](https://github.com/communityox/ox_lib) - Vehicle property serialization and the shared cache
- [oxmysql](https://github.com/overextended/oxmysql) - Database access

## Framework

**QBCore**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qb-core
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehicle_persistence
```

**QBox**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qbx_core
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehicle_persistence
```

**ESX**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure es_extended
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehicle_persistence
```

**Standalone**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehicle_persistence
```

> **INFO:** Auto Detection
>
> `ml_bridge` detects your framework automatically. No manual setup.

## Optional

### Garages

Any garage that deletes the vehicle entity on store is handled automatically. The `open/client.lua` file ships listeners for the common ones (qb-garages, qs-advancedgarages, jg-advancedgarages, cd_garage, loaf_garage, okokGarage, esx_advancedgarage). Add your garage's store event there if it is not listed.

### Inventory

- Any inventory supported by `ml_bridge` - only needed for the GPS item, the scanner and the module. Definitions are in `_INSTALL/items.lua`. Both features can be disabled in the config, and persistence itself needs no inventory

### Impound

- Any impound system - orphaned owned vehicles route through `OpenServer.ImpoundVehicle`, adaptable to your impound tables

### Fuel

- Any fuel system supported by `ml_bridge` - fuel level is saved and restored with the vehicle

> **INFO:** No Garage Required
>
> Persistence works without any garage script. Garage integration only controls when a vehicle leaves persistence.
