I need help setting up an inventory.

Hello, everyone. I've tried to make multiple tests of an inventory system but all have failed. I'm new to scratch, so I mostly followed some tutorials and attempted to make some changes to better fit my project. Because of failing again and again to design a functional inventory system, I feel very discouraged as this system was integral to my project. The project I will be linking is quite empty, so I apologize.

To give some context on what I was attempting to do was to create a basic inventory with a system that would read the value and quantity of an item or items to create a new one. Think of crafting in Minecraft. The project I'm making is a click-and-point game. I would like suggestions on what scripts for my inventory would be best to implement with these sprites.

I'll create a sample project with comments to run through the process.

While I'm creating this, do you mind telling me how much of lists and variables and clones you understand? It'd give me a great benchmark as to how much of my thinking I need to explain, because right now I'm assuming that anybody using the scripts is new to Scratch but doesn't have a difficult time understanding coding concepts.

Yes, I understand the concepts and I don't have much difficulty understanding or utilizing them. I would love some more information on them, though.

(Sorry for replying so late)

All good. So I assume I don't have to go as in depth on my explanations as I have been. I'll keep the comments I already made (some are around a paragraph's length or so) but from now on I'll make them a bit more concise.
