Roleplay (RP)
A server built around a story: safe towns, shops, an economy and rules enforced by staff. Takes the most setup and moderation, and builds the most loyal communities.
Set up
Install the recommended plugins from the Plugins tab. Paste or build your towns first, then mark each as a zone with Zone Manager so it's safe and no-build.
Decide how money enters the economy (jobs, kills, playtime) before launch; Economics holds balances and Server Rewards runs the store.
Write the rules and roles in your Discord and in a pinned in-game message. RP lives or dies by consistent moderation.
Follow Facepunch's monetization rules: perks you sell must not be gameplay advantages.
Run it
- Wipe as rarely as you can; RP communities invest in their builds and stories.
- Back up before every change to towns or plugin configs so a mistake is easy to undo.
- Prebuilt towns add many entities. Watch RAM and server FPS and give it a bigger plan if it struggles.
Recommended plugins
Open your server in the control panel and go to Plugins. If you picked this style at checkout, "Install all" adds these in one go; otherwise search uMod for each.
