# Blueprint Metadata & Uses

A generated blueprint contains metadata similar to:

```lua
{
    label = 'Pistol Blueprint (85%)',
    description = 'Projeto técnico avançado\nUtilizações: 3/3',
    blueprint = true,
    blueprint_id = 'pistol',
    quality = 85,
    uses = 3,
    max_uses = 3,
    ingredients = { ... },
    createdAt = os.time()
}
```

An optional local image is stored as `metadata.image`; HTTP/HTTPS images are stored as `metadata.imageurl`.

## Use consumption

When a blueprint-required recipe succeeds:

- `uses` decreases by 1.
- The description is updated.
- When uses reach zero, the blueprint item is removed.

If the inventory cannot update metadata directly, Crafting can fall back to removing/re-adding the item with updated metadata where the bridge allows it.
