Beefalowool

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-20

Overview

The beefalowool prefab defines the Beefalo Wool entity found in Don't Starve Together. It configures the entity as an inventory item that can be stacked, traded, and used as fuel. The prefab attaches standard components to handle inspection, inventory management, and combustion properties. It is typically spawned via the prefab system rather than instantiated directly by modders.

Usage example

-- Spawn the beefalo wool prefab
local inst = SpawnPrefab("beefalowool")

-- Access component properties
local fuel_value = inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue
local max_stack = inst.components.stackable.maxsize

-- Add to player inventory
if ThePlayer then
    ThePlayer.components.inventory:GiveItem(inst)
end
