🔌Rust Plugins (Oxide/UMod)

Mod your wasteland. 🛠️ To add plugins (like 2x Gather, Teleport, or Kits), you first need to install the Oxide (now called UMod) framework.

⚡ Method 1: The "Startup" Switch (Easiest)

Most Witchly servers come with a built-in switch to turn on modding.

1. Go to your Witchly Panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the "Startup" tab.

4. Look for a variable named "Oxide", "Modding", or "Install Oxide".

5. Turn it on:

   • If it's a text box, type 1 or true.

   • If it's a switch, toggle it to On.

6. Reinstall/Update:

   • Go back to the Console.

   • In some versions, you might need to click the "Reinstall" button (don't worry, this won't delete your map, just the server files).

   • Start the server.

🔍 Check: Watch the Console. If you see lines saying [Oxide] Loading plugins..., it worked!

📦 Method 2: Manual Install (If Method 1 fails)

If you don't see an Oxide switch, do this:

1. Download: Go to umod.org/games/rust and download Oxide.Rust.zip.

2. Upload:

   • Go to the Files tab.

   • Drag and drop the .zip file into the main folder.

3. Unzip:

   • Right-click the zip file and choose Unarchive (Unzip).

   • It will ask to "Overwrite" files. Click Yes.

4. Restart: Start the server.

🧩 How to Add Plugins

Once Oxide is running, installing plugins is simple.

1. Download: Find a plugin on UMod.org (e.g., "GatherManager").

2. Upload:

   • Go to Files > oxide > plugins.

   • Drag the .cs file here.

3. Done!

   • You do NOT need to restart.

   • Oxide detects the new file and loads it instantly. Check the Console to see it load.

👑 Granting Permissions

Most plugins need "Permissions" to work.

• Example: To let players use /kit.

1. Go to the Console.

2. Type: oxide.grant group default kit.use (This gives it to everyone).

3. Type: oxide.grant user Vamp kit.admin (This gives it just to you).
