Build a Core Item System in Unreal Engine 5 — Step by Step

If you’ve ever wanted to create an item and inventory system in Unreal Engine that feels flexible, expandable, and game-ready, this course is for you!

Over the course, you’ll build a data-driven item system from the ground up — complete with basic items, equippable items, consumable items, saving and loading, spawning items, and a fully functional inventory UI built in Blueprints.

By the end, you’ll know how to:

Create Item Definitions (data assets) for basic items, equippable gear, and consumable items with custom effects.

Use a custom Item Factory to generate items from data assets and from save files

Expand a custom item instance classes to support items-specific data.

Implement Saving and Loading systems to maintain state of your items

Create a Spawnable Items with particle effects and use Developer Settings to create Item System defaults

Build a Blueprint Inventory Component to store, manage, and interact with items.

Create an Inventory widget that shows item details, stats, and allows consuming or deleting items.
