🎁 Added
  • Code addon SDK for s&box Targeted Addons: ILitherarpAddon lifecycle, host/client activation, host tick hooks and shutdown teardown.
  • Code loading is opt-in at global and per-addon level, gated by trusted ParentPackage metadata, with local.* support for editor development.
  • Addon context can register runtime jobs, shop stock, NPCs, custom NPC kinds, clothing, runtime items, config files, localization, screen panels and chat commands.
  • Public addon config sections sync through the normal config snapshot, while per-player addon sections sync privately to the owning client.

  • Per-addon player data persistence stores JSON under addon_data/<addon>/<steamId>.json, separate from core player saves.

  • Public host primitives added for player teleport, owned vehicle spawning, property-group release, group bank accounts and owned-object management.
