How to Install Plugins in Your Unturned Server
Unturned is a popular sandbox survival game that allows players to create and join servers with different settings and mods.
Plugins are one of the best ways to enhance your server with new features, commands, and gameplay options. In this article, we will show you how to install plugins in your unturned server using rocket, a framework that enables plugin support for unturned.
Look for Plugins to install
The first step is to find the plugins that you want to install on your server.
There are many sources of plugins for unturned, but two of the most popular and reliable ones are UnturnedStore and ImperialPlugins. These websites offer a variety of plugins for different purposes, such as economy, kits, permissions, vehicles, weapons, and more.
You can browse the plugins by category, rating, price, or popularity, and read the descriptions and reviews to see what they do and how they work.
To download a plugin from these websites, you will need to create an account and purchase the plugin with real money (however some plugins are free).
Once you have purchased a plugin, you will be able to download it as a zip file that contains the plugin files and instructions.
Download the Plugins
The next step is to download the plugins that you have purchased from UnturnedStore or ImperialPlugins. You can do this by clicking on the download button on the plugin page, or by going to your account dashboard and accessing your purchased plugins.
You will need to unzip the downloaded files and extract the plugin files to a folder on your computer. The plugin files usually have the extension .dll, and may also include configuration files, translations, or other resources.
Install Rocket and the Plugins
The third step is to install rocket and the plugins on your unturned server. Rocket is a framework that enables plugin support for unturned, and it is required for most plugins to work. To install rocket, you will need to go to your server’s file, go to Extras folder, copy the Rocket.Unturned folder into the Modules folder, then just restart your server.
Installing plugins
To install the plugins, you will need to copy the plugin files that you downloaded in step 2 to the Plugins folder inside the rocket folder and to add the provided librairies inside your librairies folder.
You can also edit the configuration files of the plugins to customize their settings and behavior. After you have installed the plugins, you will need to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
Restart the Server
The fourth step is to restart the server for the plugins to load and work properly. You can do this by stopping and starting the server from the rocket launcher, or by using the /shutdown and /restart commands in the server console.
Quick Tips with Rocket
The final step is to enjoy your server with the new plugins, and use some quick tips with rocket to manage them. Here are some useful commands and features that you can use with rocket:
/rocket help: Shows a list of available rocket commands and their usage.
/rocket plugins: Shows a list of installed plugins and their versions.
/rocket permissions: Shows a list of permissions and groups for the plugins.
/rocket update: Checks for updates for rocket and the plugins, and downloads them if available.
