# Dependencies

> Required and optional dependencies for ML Vehicle Crafting

Category: VEHICLE CRAFTING · Source: https://miciomods.it/docs/ml-vehiclecraft-dependencies · Last updated: 2026-08-07

## Required

- [ml_bridge](https://portal.cfx.re) - framework, inventory and target abstraction. Every call the script makes to the server's framework goes through it
- [ox_lib](https://github.com/communityox/ox_lib) - progress bars, skill checks, points, animation helpers
- [oxmysql](https://github.com/communityox/oxmysql) - project persistence
- OneSync - required for the finished vehicle to spawn server side

## Framework

**QBCore**

**server.cfg**

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

**QBox**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qbx_core
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehiclecraft
```

**ESX**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure es_extended
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehiclecraft
```

**Standalone**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_vehiclecraft
```

> **INFO:** Auto Detection
>
> `ml_bridge` detects the framework, the inventory and the target system automatically. No manual setup.

## Inventory

Any inventory supported by `ml_bridge` works. An inventory that carries item metadata unlocks two features:

- parts that belong to a specific vehicle, `Config.Parts.modelLock`
- parts that carry a condition, `Config.Parts.quality`

Without metadata support both switch themselves off, the script warns once on start and keeps running with generic parts. `Config.ChassisMode` also falls back from `'metadata'` to `'items'`, which needs the per-vehicle chassis items registered.

## Props and animations

Every prop and animation used by placement, carrying, mounting and the hoist is base game. Nothing is streamed and there is no prop pack to buy.

## Optional

### Store

- [ml_tebex](https://portal.cfx.re) - sells the paid uses and the vehicle unlocks, and verifies the purchase ids entered in `/vcredeem`. Without it the paid layer still works, granted from the admin panel

### Vehicle systems

- ml_vehiclekeys - hands the keys to the owner when a vehicle is finished, `Config.Integrations.vehicleKeys`
- ml_fuel - sets the starting fuel level, `Config.Integrations.fuel`
- ml_mechanic - seeds the engine condition of the finished vehicle from the part condition average, `Config.Integrations.mechanic`

### Progression

- ml_skills - backs `Config.SkillGate` through `OpenServer.GetSkillLevel`. Any progression system works by editing that hook

### Parts economy

- ml_crafting - already allowed to call the give exports, and its recipe editor has a vehicle picker that writes the part metadata

Each optional resource is detected at runtime. When it is not running, the matching feature is skipped and nothing errors.
