Enable the optional development playground

The optional kcdc-playground resource adds an F2 window for trying items, crafting, locations and companions. It depends on kcdc-gamemode.

Choose who can use it

By default, every player can grant items and teleport with these tools. Before enabling the playground on a shared server, edit config.allowed in src/server/config.ts to choose who can use it, then rebuild the resource.

Install from a bundle containing it

1. Open resources/optional/kcdc-playground/ in a terminal.
2. In 1.6.6, run npm ci and npm run build using the supplied package-lock.json.
3. Move the built folder to resources/kcdc-playground/, beside kcdc-gamemode.
4. Start the server. Resources directly under resources/ load automatically.

When working from source, build in the original folder so its link to the local scripting types resolves, then copy the built resource to the test server. Leaving it under resources/optional/ keeps it disabled. To disable it again, stop the server and move the folder back there.

Open the tools

Press F2, or the key assigned to Playground in Controls. The action hint displays that binding. Use Escape or Close to dismiss the window.

Tool	What to try
Item spawner	Search equippable classes by table name or GUID, choose supported quality, and grant or drop 1 to 20 units.
Locations	Visit settlements and points of interest on the current level.
Crafting	Learn selected or listed recipes and grant ingredients for 1 to 10 batches. Native skill requirements still apply.
Companions	Spawn up to four test NPCs, a horse and a dog.
Character creator	Open the sample character-creation flow.

To drop an item, aim at the ground within 15 metres before opening the window. The server checks the drop position. Before teleporting, dismount and finish any crafting or dice session. The crafting tool excludes recipes that require quest ingredients.

Remove my test spawns removes this playground’s NPCs, horse, dog and remaining ground drops. Items already given to players stay in their inventories. Your server’s saving rules determine whether inventory, recipe and appearance changes survive a restart.

Each community server chooses whether to enable this optional resource. For the custom-item sample commands, use /customitems in the default game mode.
