Alter item without replacing prefab?

[Faintly Macabre]

I'd like to make a few items automatically stack the way hounds teeth, monster meat, and some others do. I know I need to add the "selfstacker" component to the items to do so, but I'm wondering if (and hoping) it's possible to add that component to them without having to replace the entire prefab file?

--modmain.lua
AddPrefabPostInit("cutgrass", function(inst)
    if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then--needed for components to not crash clients I believe
        return inst
    end

    inst:AddComponent("healer")
end)

^ just an example

Awesome, thanks. Though, wouldn't a change like this make for a server-only mod? Is that check still necessary?

If it's server-only, yes. But if this were to be included in an all-clients mod, you would need it.
