item_item_crate is a point entity available in Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. It's the standard supply crate that creates specified content when broken.

By default, it contains item_dynamic_resupply, an entity that spawns whatever item the player needs most (health, armor, ammo). By changing the crate's Item Type, you can make it drop specific items.

Keyvalues

Crate Contains (CrateType) <integer> 

Deprecated.
Do not alter. Numbers other than 0 will cause the crate to spawn nothing after being broken. (If that's desired, try to use a prop_physics instead as it's not as memory-intensive.)

Item Type (ItemClass) <pointentityclass>

Classname of the entity to spawn when the crate is broken. Suggested point entity: item_dynamic_resupply

Item Count (ItemCount) <integer>

Number of items to drop upon breakage.
