Scripts Built for the Qbox Framework
Qbox is what QBCore looks like after a decade of lessons: the same mental model, rebuilt on ox_lib, ox_inventory and oxmysql, with the dead weight removed. Scripts here target it natively rather than being QB resources with a compatibility shim bolted on.

QBCore grew by accretion. Qbox is a deliberate rebuild of the same idea on a maintained foundation, using ox_lib for UI and callbacks, ox_inventory for items and oxmysql for the database layer, with typed exports and a state-bag approach that keeps client and server honest. For a server owner the practical wins are fewer mystery desyncs, a smaller surface for exploits, and dependencies that are actually maintained.
The compatibility layer, and what it does not cover
Qbox keeps QBCore compatibility on purpose, so the majority of QB resources start and run without edits. That is a migration aid rather than a promise. What tends to break:
- Resources that call internal qb-core functions rather than the exported API.
- Anything assuming
qb-inventory's item schema when Qbox runsox_inventory. - Scripts that write directly to the
playerstable instead of going through the framework.
A native Qbox script skips all three by construction, which is the argument for buying one rather than porting a QB resource yourself.
Migrating a live server
The order that survives contact with players: stand up a second server on Qbox with your database restored to it, move resources across in dependency order (framework, inventory, target, then everything else), and run a small group through a full session before you announce anything. Inventory migration is the step that eats the week, because item names, metadata and stack rules differ between qb-inventory and ox_inventory, and the mapping has to be written once, carefully, rather than fixed live.
Buying for a server that is mid-move
If you are between frameworks, prefer scripts whose product page lists both QBCore and Qbox. Everything in this collection states its framework support explicitly, and orders arrive by email minutes after checkout so you can test against both stacks the same evening.
Frequently asked questions
What is Qbox and how is it different from QBCore?
Qbox is a maintained fork of QBCore rebuilt on the ox stack: ox_lib, ox_inventory and oxmysql, with typed exports and state bags. It keeps the same mental model and deliberate QBCore compatibility, but replaces the aging internals that cause most desync and exploit problems.
Can I run my existing QBCore scripts on Qbox?
Most of them, yes. The compatibility layer is intentional. Scripts that call internal qb-core functions directly, assume qb-inventory's item schema, or write straight to the players table are the ones that need work.
Do Qbox scripts need ox_lib and ox_inventory?
Native Qbox resources generally assume ox_lib and ox_inventory, since that is the stack Qbox is built on. Both are free and open. The dependency list on each product page is authoritative for that script.
Is it worth migrating an established server to Qbox?
It depends on what is hurting. If your pain is desyncs, exploits and unmaintained dependencies, the rebuild pays for itself. If your QBCore server is stable and your resources are current, the migration cost, which is mostly inventory item mapping, may not be worth it yet.
