A new version of the Inventory System is available. This release includes a new structure placement feature and improves crafting.
Structure Placement
Players can now place structures from their inventory. When using an inventory item representing a structure, the player is prompted to select where to place it. The included demo lets players place an anvil. Once placed, the anvil is used to craft items.
Structure placement provides an example of how to build mechanisms that let players build structures or place objects.
Crafting Refinements
The crafting components have received some improvements to add support for multiplayer.
