Visual example of Gum being disabled, a feature added in V1.158.0
Gum is a consumable item that gives the Player certain boosts or alterations depending on the type of gum. It was added in v1.65.0, with several Gumball Machines being planted in each existing world, along with the questline Ghost Hunter Hans, who provides tutorials on the basics of Gum.
Gum can be used in the Inventory in the Items menu, though a hotkey can be unlocked after completing Ghost Hunter Old Gran's questline.
Up to 3 categories of gum (see below) can be used at a time, and can be disabled by clicking its respective icon at the bottom of the screen; visible with an 'X' covering the Gum's icon). When disabled, the Gum will pop when the Player leaves the server. Gum timers are stackable.
Gumball Machines[]

Similar to the Incinerator, the Player can convert Items into the equivalent amount of Gum, though the ratio changes depending on an Item and it's Rarity. (eg. 17 Pearls will equate to 1 Gum, but 1 Blox City Chest will also equate to 1 Gum.) Depending on the Biome the items are converted in, there are 4 biome-specific groups of Gum;
- Basic: Obtained from the Main Hub Gumball Machine, with each gum providing a x2 Boost.
- Ghostly: Obtained from the Ghost World Gumball Machine, with each gum providing a x3 Boost.
- Glitchy: Obtained from the Backdoor Gumball Machine, with each gum providing a x4 Boost.
- Enchanted: Obtained from the Remnant Zone Gumball Machine, with each gum providing a x5 Boost.
Gum Categories[]
There are currently 3 categories of Gum; Regular Gum, Cosmetic Gum (originally referred to as "Wacky Gum"), and Boosted Gum. One of each can be used all at once, and all can be hooked to the Gum Hotkey until the Player runs out.
Regular Gum can be used in any World and Biome, and will provide the Player with a boost that will affect gameplay, such as increasing their hoverboard speed or increasing their item drop rate. They all last for 120 seconds each, or 2 minutes.
Cosmetic Gum may be restricted in certain Worlds and Biomes, as they solely alter the Player's appearance or their screen. They can remove the Player's head (Headless Gum), make the Player a different color (Bo Gum), or allow them to see Remnant Orbs and hidden messages (Remnant Gum). For Mystery Gum, it may also affect a Player's movement speed or have other effects.
Boosted Gum can exclusively be bought from the Store for Robux (R$), and have longer run times at the cost of having not as notable boosts as Regular Gum. They are better used for long periods of grinding, or during Seasonal Events.
Event Gum is Gum that can exclusively be obtained from Event Gumball Machines, such as Halloween or Christmas. They are all cosmetic, changing the Player's avatar to fit certain seasonal themes that the gum came from, such as Pumpkin Gum transforming a Player's head to be a Jack-o-Lantern for Halloween.

Trivia[]
- Before Version 1.92.0, you would lose your gums effect when leaving or switching servers.
- As of Version 1.158.0, equipped Gum will be popped when leaving or switching servers only if it has been disabled beforehand.
- On Version 1.167.0, gum's timers have been changed to allow stacking, meaning you could make a gum stay for longer than 2 minutes.
