✨ Core Functions
**📦 Inventory Editor**

**🔄 Item Exchange**
- Convert any item/gear to another using a database of **6000+** items.
**🎁 Giving Items (Donor System)**
- It is impossible to directly add new item slots (the record structure is fixed), so the "donation" mechanism is used:
- Buy cheap junk items (e.g. low-grade materials).
- *or*, change the stack quantity of equipment items to copy equipment and get a good start.
- Click "Give Items" on the Inventory tab.
- Select the desired item and quantity from the database.
- Select a donor item to overwrite (same category is safer).
- Confirm → The donor item will become your new item.

- Ability to sync latest item names from GitHub.
**🛡️ Automatic backup**

⚠️ Important Notes and Restrictions
- **Only supports `save.save` files** (in-game saves), ** does not support `lobby.save`**.
- **Shop and mercenary items are read-only** - editing them will result in corrupted saves.
- Swapping equipment may display incorrect icons/attributes before being removed and re-equipped (cosmetic issue only).
- Items cannot be inserted directly - existing slots can only be overwritten via the donor system.
- Enchantment changes affect attributes - the game recalculates them on load.
- HP and MANA are set by the game at runtime, and modifying them has no effect.
- Mainly tested on Steam version - should work on other platforms if save paths match.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
