# Dependencies

> Required and optional dependencies for ML Random Cloth

Category: RANDOM CLOTHING · Source: https://miciomods.it/docs/random-cloth-dependencies · Last updated: 2026-07-09

## Required

- `ml_bridge`: the framework and inventory abstraction layer. Every player, item, and usable-item call in ML Random Cloth goes through it, which is what makes the resource work across ESX, QBCore, Qbox, and Standalone.
- `ox_lib`: provides the progress bar used when opening a pack, and shared runtime helpers. Loaded as `@ox_lib/init.lua`.
- `ml_clothing`: the companion this resource packs for. The pack items give real clothing items (`jacket`, `pants`, `bag`) that `ml_clothing` defines and handles, including bag stash metadata. `ml_random_cloth` is an addon for `ml_clothing`, not a standalone system. Start `ml_clothing` first.

`ox_inventory` is where the 15 standard `pack_*` items are registered and is what calls the `usePack` export on item use.

## Framework Setup

Set your framework's resource name in `server.cfg` ahead of the dependency chain. ML Random Cloth itself detects the framework through `ml_bridge` and needs no framework key in its own config.

**QBCore**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure qb-core
ensure ox_inventory
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_clothing
ensure ml_random_cloth
```

**QBox**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure qbx_core
ensure ox_inventory
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_clothing
ensure ml_random_cloth
```

**ESX**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure es_extended
ensure ox_inventory
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_clothing
ensure ml_random_cloth
```

**Standalone**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
ensure ox_inventory
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_clothing
ensure ml_random_cloth
```

> **INFO:** Auto Detection
>
> ML Random Cloth does not have a framework setting. `ml_bridge` detects the active framework at runtime and routes every `Bridge.*` call to it. With `Config.Debug = true` the detected framework is printed on start: `ml_random_cloth initialized (Framework: ...)`.

## Optional

There are no optional integrations. ML Random Cloth talks only to `ml_bridge`, `ox_lib`, `ml_clothing`, and `ox_inventory`. It uses no custom interface, no database, and no other resource.
