Introduction

CS:GO continues the long tradition of community-driven server customization. Plugins allow server owners to expand gameplay, add quality-of-life features, implement custom rulesets, or create entirely new game modes.

For CS:GO game servers, Sourcemod is the most widely used framework for server-side plugins. Sourcemod works together with Metamod:Source, which acts as a base layer allowing plugins to hook into the game engine. By installing both components, server admins can easily manage plugins and extend server functionality.

Metamod:Source – upload the addons directory from the archive via FTP so it merges with the ../csgo/ game directory.
Use the console commands meta version (for Metamod) or sm version (for Sourcemod). If installed successfully, the console will display the respective version.
