With over 20 million daily active users, Roblox has become one of the largest user-generated gaming platforms. The platform is especially popular among children and teens who spend hours customizing their unique avatars.
Roblox offers an extensive catalog of clothing items like shirts, pants, hats, faces, gear, and more. As of 2022, there are over 30 million customizable clothing items available.
– Provide statistics on daily/monthly active Roblox users
– Number of clothing items in the catalog over time
– Types of clothing items available
Each individual clothing piece in the Roblox avatar shop is assigned a unique identification number called the clothes ID.
Knowing the clothes ID for an item can be useful for several reasons:
- Entering ID codes to instantly equip clothing
- Referencing items by ID when building or scripting games
- Identifying duplicate or copied items being resold
- Tracking new releases and catalog changes
However, many Roblox users are unsure how to find the ID for a clothing item they want. The method varies slightly depending on if you are on desktop or mobile.
In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll explain multiple ways to find and copy clothes ID in Roblox, on both desktop and mobile.
Overview of Roblox Clothing IDs
Before we dive into the methods, let‘s briefly cover some key facts about Roblox clothes IDs:
-
The ID is a multi-digit number unique to each clothing item. For example:
12934021
. -
IDs are assigned automatically when new items are published to the catalog.
-
Deleted items will have their IDs removed from use.
-
The ID always appears after "catalog/" in the item URL.
-
IDs can be entered directly into the "Wear" page to equip items.
-
Clothing IDs are different from Asset IDs used for uploading.
So in summary, the clothes ID is a catalog-specific identifier for every wearable item. With tens of millions of clothes, these IDs help track Roblox‘s massive avatar customization system.
Finding Clothes ID on Roblox Desktop Site
If you‘re browsing Roblox on a desktop or laptop browser, finding clothes IDs is straightforward. Here‘s the step-by-step process:
1. Search for the Clothing Item
First, search for the specific clothing item whose ID you need. For example:
- Go to the Roblox website and log in.
- Click "Avatar Shop" at the top.
- Search for an item like "blue hoodie" or "pink skirt" using the search bar.
2. Click on the Clothing Item
When you‘ve located the desired item, click on the picture or name to open the item details page.
3. Check the URL for the ID
On the item page, the unique clothes ID will be clearly visible in the page URL.
For example, the URL may look like:
https://www.roblox.com/catalog/6777302026/Blue-Hoodie
The numbers between catalog/
and the name are the item‘s ID. In this case, 6777302026
.
4. Copy the Clothes ID
Now simply highlight and copy JUST the ID numbers from the URL:
6777302026
Avoid copying "catalog" or any other text – only the numbers that make up the ID.
You‘ve now copied the clothes ID ready for use! This method makes finding IDs a breeze on the desktop Roblox site.
Finding Clothes IDs on Mobile
The Roblox mobile app doesn‘t display full URL addresses, so copying IDs is trickier. But there are still a couple ways to find clothes IDs when browsing on mobile:
Method 1: Share Link
-
In the Roblox app, search for the clothing item and open it.
-
Tap the Share button (usually an arrow symbol).
-
Select "Copy Link" to copy the item‘s URL.
-
Paste this link in your phone‘s Notes app.
-
The full item URL with ID will now be visible.
-
Copy JUST the ID numbers from this URL.
While a bit more involved, this method lets you grab IDs directly even on mobile.
Method 2: Inspect Element
Some mobile browsers allow viewing page source code and URLs using "Inspect Element". Enabling this setting allows copying IDs easily:
-
Enable Inspect Element in your mobile browser.
-
Browse to the item page and tap Inspect.
-
Find the
<a href>
tag – this contains the full URL. -
Copy the ID numbers from this URL.
Inspect Element is a powerful tool for finding IDs and other hidden details on any web page.
Using Clothes IDs in Roblox
Now that you‘ve copied the clothes ID, here are some of the most common ways to use it in Roblox:
Equipping Clothing Items
You can instantly equip clothing by entering the ID instead of searching:
-
Go to your Roblox profile and click "Edit Avatar".
-
Select the clothing type like shirt, pants, etc.
-
Enter the ID number and click the "Wear" button.
This allows equipping specific items much faster than browsing and searching.
Referencing in Game Development
Roblox developers can reference clothes by ID when scripting games:
local shirt = 1234568 --Clothes ID
script.Parent.Shirt.TextureId = shirt
Hardcoding IDs makes managing clothing behavior efficient compared to item names which may change.
Identifying Copies and Dupes
Limited items are sometimes copied and resold by other users. The copy will have a different ID than the original.
Comparing IDs can help identify if you‘re buying an original limited item versus a copy.
Monitoring New and Removed Items
Tracking clothes IDs over time helps follow catalog changes and new releases. ID numbers are sequential so monitoring the highest IDs shows you new additions.
Developers can program a bot to monitor clothes IDs for catalog updates.
Tips for Finding Clothes IDs
Here are some additional tips to help find and utilize clothes IDs in Roblox:
-
Only logged-in users can view item URLs to get IDs. Guests won‘t see pages with IDs.
-
Recently viewed items are listed on your profile – easy place to grab IDs!
-
Use browser extensions like Roblox+ for convenience copying on any page.
-
Note down IDs from favorite items to quickly reference later.
-
If an ID doesn‘t work, the item may have been removed from sale.
-
Combine searching by name and ID lookup to cross-reference.
-
Keep a saved list of IDs for your commonly worn avatar items.
Conclusion
Learning to find the unique clothes IDs enables you to directly reference the millions of catalog items in Roblox. Whether it‘s speeding up equipping clothing, detecting item copies, programmatically changing avatars, or analyzing the catalog, IDs are extremely useful.
On desktop, copying is as simple as getting the numbers from the URL bar. On mobile, sharing item links to Notes or using Inspect Element will retrieve the ID.
Clothing customization is one of the pillars of the Roblox experience. Using clothes IDs enhances managing and developing with the platform‘s extensive avatar catalog.
