Introduction
Plugins allow you to expand and personalize your server even more. In the following, we’ll explain where to find the most commonly used plugins and how to set them up.
Preparation
First of all, you need to download the plugins that you want to install on the server. A large selection of plugins can be found at umod.org (formerly OXIDE). During the download you will get a .cs file.
Installation
Once the desired plugins have been downloaded, you can proceed with the installation. This is done via FTP, so you will need an FTP client to upload the files to your server. If you are not yet familiar with FTP and how it works, please refer to the FTP access guide.
You will find the correct plugin directory under: /gXXXXXX/rust-oxide/oxide/plugins. Simply upload the downloaded .cs plugin files to this folder. It should look similar to this after uploading:
Nothing more needs to be done. This already completes the installation. Afterwards you can check in the live console if the plugin was compiled and loaded successfully. The output should look like this:
AdminAutoTeams and AdminLogger were compiled successfully in 0ms

(Filename: ./Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)
