Welcome to the Rust Modding Community!
Hey everyone, and welcome! If you're reading this, chances are you're interested in modding Rust, whether that means writing your first plugin, fine-tuning an existing one, or just hanging out with other modders to learn and share ideas. Whatever brings you here—you're in the right place.
This community is built by modders, for modders, and we're all about making Rust modding more accessible, more organized, and more fun.
What is the Rust Modding Community?
At its core, this is a place where people who love modding Rust come together to share knowledge, support each other, and push the boundaries of what's possible.
If you've ever tried to create a Rust plugin before, you know how confusing it can be at first—multiple frameworks, scattered documentation, and a whole lot of trial and error. That's why we're here. This community exists to:
- Help new modders get started without feeling overwhelmed.
- Share best practices so plugins are easier to read, maintain, and improve.
- Support both Oxide (uMod) and Carbon frameworks, so you can choose what works best for you.
- Collaborate on ideas, tools, and projects that push Rust modding forward.
Whether you want to learn, teach, experiment, or just hang out, this is the place for you.
What You'll Find Here
We want this to be the place for Rust modding—somewhere you can find answers, inspiration, and a little bit of fun along the way.
If you're just starting out, we've got step-by-step guides to walk you through your first plugin, breaking things down so it's not overwhelming. And if you're already comfortable writing plugins, there's plenty to dive into—whether it's optimizing performance, structuring your code better, or exploring advanced API features.
We also know how frustrating it can be to hunt down the right documentation, so we're working to make that easier. Instead of digging through old forum posts or outdated examples, you'll have clear, easy-to-follow references right at your fingertips.
Beyond that, it's not just about writing code—it's about writing good code. A plugin that works is great, but a plugin that's clean, efficient, and easy to maintain is even better. That's why we focus on best practices, helping you avoid common mistakes and build plugins that stand the test of time.
And of course, sometimes the best way to figure something out is just to ask someone who's been there before. Whether you need help troubleshooting an issue, want feedback on your code, or just feel like chatting about modding, this community is here for that too.
