Portable Benches - PhatDaddy Development

Overview

Portable benches are crafting stations that players spawn in the world by using a specific item. Each bench spawns a GTA V prop at the player’s location and opens as an interactive crafting station. Portable benches are enabled globally via the usePortableBenches setting in the admin panel.
