Which Plugins Are Best for My Server?

Firstly, you have to decide which type of Modded Rust Server you want to create. Here are some examples:

  • Roleplaying / PVE Server
  • PVP Server
  • Minigame Server
  • Vanilla Server (but with small additions/changes)

Once you know what type of server you want to create, you can choose which plugins will be best! However, the majority of the plugins we recommend below can be used for nearly every type of Modded Rust Server.
