Beeswax

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

Overview​

The beeswax prefab script defines the spawnable beeswax entity. It configures inventory physics, stacking limits, and specific melting behavior when exposed to fire. It relies on the wax component for base wax functionality and manages state transitions via event listeners. The entity is marked as meltable and modifies its pick-up state when melting begins.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("beeswax")
inst.components.inventoryitem:GiveToPlayer(ThePlayer)
-- Check stack size limit
local max_stack = inst.components.stackable.maxsize
