The 20 Best FiveM Scripts Every RP Server Needs (2026 Guide)

The FiveM ecosystem in 2026 represents a massive shift in server architecture. We have moved away from the chaotic and unoptimized resource collections of the past toward a standardized and high-performance tech stack. The era of bloat is over. The era of modularity is here.

If you are building a server this year, your focus must be on code integrity, active maintenance, and interoperability. This guide covers the 20 best FiveM scripts that define the modern meta. These picks will ensure your roleplay server runs smoothly, looks professional, and keeps players engaged.

Core Frameworks

The framework is the operating system of your server. In 2026, the choice largely comes down to the modern performance of Qbox or the established ecosystem of QBCore.

• Qbox Project (qbx_core)

  Qbox has established itself as the definitive framework for high-performance servers. It features a robust Bridge Layer that provides backwards compatibility for most QBCore resources with zero effort. This allows you to use modern features like modules and hooks without losing access to the legacy script library.

• QBCore Framework (qb-core)

  Despite the rise of Qbox, QBCore remains a staple due to its massive library of third-party support. Qbox provides backwards compatibility for almost all QBCore scripts. If you are looking for the widest range of compatibility then this legacy framework is still a viable and stable choice.

Essential Infrastructure

These resources handle your database, server management, and voice. Using alternatives to these industry standards in 2026 is often considered a mistake.

• txAdmin

  txAdmin is the official full-featured web panel and in-game menu to manage and monitor your server. Beyond a simple start/stop button, it provides a Recipe-based Server Deployer to set up a server in under 60 seconds. It is now a native component of FXServer.

• oxmysql

  Database interactions used to be the biggest cause of server lag. oxmysql solves this by utilizing node-mysql2 for async query handling. It also includes built-in support for Fivemanage to log errors directly to the cloud.

• pma-voice

  Forget TeamSpeak. pma-voice utilizes FiveM’s internal Mumble server to provide a voice system. It natively supports radio channels and phone logic. It also uses grid technology to optimize voice proximity calculations.

• ox_lib

  A unified library that provides optimized functions for developers. It ensures visual consistency across your server’s UI elements like context menus and progress bars. It also serves as a hard dependency for major resources like ox_inventory.

Inventory & Interaction

The moment-to-moment gameplay experience depends heavily on how players interact with the world. Modern inventories utilize metadata rather than simple SQL counts.

• ox_inventory

  Widely regarded as the most sophisticated resource available, it utilizes a slot-based system with item metadata. This allows items to hold unique data like weapon serial numbers. It also includes built-in shops and evidence lockers.

• ox_target

  This resource powers the "Third Eye" interaction model. It is a performant resource that improves entity collision compared to predecessors like qtarget. It uses optimized raycasting to handle hundreds of interactive entities without degrading client FPS.

Visuals & UI

First impressions matter. Your UI and loading screen are the first things players see. They set the tone for the entire server quality.

• loadscreen (by D4isDAVID)

  A clean and fully configurable loading screen for FiveM. It features multiple functional loading bars to track progress giving players accurate feedback. It also supports background media including video and music.

• ps-hud

  Built using Svelte, this is an ultra-customizable HUD featuring a robust settings menu. It allows players to customize their experience by changing icon shapes, sizes, and positions of elements like health and armor to suit their preferences.

Jobs & Gameplay

This category covers the gameplay loop. This is the cycle of working, earning, and spending that drives your server's economy.

• jim-mining

  This resource transforms mining into a multi-stage industrial process. It features mining, stone washing, and stone cracking to find materials. It includes custom drilling animations for better immersion and built-in crafting recipes.

• cdn-fuel

  Replaces legacy fuel systems with a highly in-depth system supporting QBCore and QBox. Features include electric charging, player-owned gas stations, and realistic nozzle interaction where players must physically refuel vehicles.

• ps-housing

  A robust housing system that opens up a world of creative possibilities. It features Dynamic Doors to turn static props into working entryways and uses instances to allow thousands of players to own homes without cluttering the map.

• ps-realtor

  To fully utilize the housing system, the realtor job is essential. Players with the realtor job can create new properties for sale and configure them manually. This brings a new avenue of player-run economy to your server.

• qbx_vehicleshop

  For Qbox servers, this is the optimized solution for vehicle sales. It supports configurable test drives, financing with down payments, and commission systems for private dealerships.

• FiveM-HouseRobbery

  The premier burglary script for 2026. It features an expandable tier system and stealth mechanics. The latest version includes a lockdown mechanic where players must use a heist axe to disable power boxes to avoid the boss guard.

Police & Services

A well-optimized police force requires tools that communicate effectively with the rest of the server.

• ps-dispatch

  Replaces default chat notifications with a sleek UI. It connects criminal acts to police response. This provides short notifications to help with population management and a detailed menu for officers with rich data like vehicle models and locations.

• ps-mdt

  The administrative heart of police roleplay. It allows officers to process charges and manage warrants. It supports automatic mugshot uploading, though you should use a service like Fivemerr instead of Discord webhooks to prevent image expiration.

• Wolfknight Plate Reader (wk_wars2x)

  Essential for traffic enforcement. When integrated with ps-mdt, you should enable the use_sonorancad config to reduce database stress. It automatically locks onto plates and alerts police if a vehicle owner is wanted or lacks a license.

Optimization & Integrity

A server with great features is useless if the map is broken. This final entry ensures the physical world of your server is stable.

• bob74_ipl

  The critical resource that fixes holes in the map by loading zones (IPLs) that aren't loaded by default. It allows you to customize almost every Story Mode and Online purchasable interior. This ensures players don't fall through the world in locations like the Casino.

By strictly adhering to this stack of best fivem scripts, you ensure your platform is built on modern, secure, and optimized code. You will be ready to handle the demands of a high-population roleplay environment in 2026.
