OpenMod plugins

Plugins add new functionality to your server. OpenMod provides commands to download, install, update, and remove plugins at runtime.

Finding plugins

You can find a list of plugins at the openmod-plugins page or on nuget.org.

Installing and updating plugins

There are two ways to install plugins:

Option 1: Installing plugins from NuGet. You can install plugins from NuGet using the openmod install <package id> command, e.g. openmod install Kr4ken.NewEssentials. To install specific versions, use openmod install <package id>@<version>. If you want to enable installation of pre-release versions, add the -Pre option: openmod install <package id> -Pre. To update plugins, run openmod install <package id> again.

Option 2: Installing plugins manually. You can install plugins manually by moving the plugin dll file and all libraries of the plugin to the openmod/plugins folder. You can also install libraries with openmod install <package id> instead. To update plugins replace the .dll file with the newer one.

Removing plugins

To remove plugins which have been installed using openmod install, use openmod remove <package id>. If you installed the plugin manually instead, delete the .dll file.
