Essential Scripts Pack
The 15 scripts every FiveM server needs on day one. Organized by priority. Install them in this order.
1.Tier 1: Core Framework Dependencies
These are required by almost every other script. Install them first.
- oxmysql โ database wrapper (required by 90% of scripts)
- ox_lib โ shared utility library (UI elements, callbacks, zones)
- ox_target / qb-target โ targeting system (interact with world objects)
ox_lib is becoming the universal standard. Even if you use QBCore, install ox_lib โ most modern scripts depend on it.
2.Tier 2: Player Systems
- ox_inventory / qb-inventory โ item management, weapon attachments, shops
- illenium-appearance / qb-clothing โ character creation and outfit system
- qb-phone / npwd โ phone with contacts, messages, banking app, GPS
- ps-hud / ox_hud โ health, armor, hunger, thirst, vehicle speedometer
These four scripts handle everything a player interacts with minute-to-minute. Bad inventory or phone = players leave.
3.Tier 3: Economy & Housing
- qb-banking / renewed-banking โ bank accounts, ATMs, transfers
- qb-houses / esx_property โ purchase and furnish properties
- qb-vehicleshop โ buy vehicles (dealer NPC or menu)
- qb-garages โ store and retrieve owned vehicles
- qb-vehiclekeys โ lock/unlock your vehicles
4.Tier 4: Jobs & Activities
- qb-policejob / esx_policejob โ law enforcement (cuffs, evidence, MDT)
- qb-ambulancejob / esx_ambulancejob โ medical (revive, hospital, stretcher)
- qb-mechanicjob โ vehicle repairs and upgrades
- At least 2-3 civilian jobs (trucker, garbage, fishing, mining) for new players
Don't install 50 jobs on day one. Start with 5-7 and add more as your player base grows and requests them.
5.Performance Monitoring
After installing each script, check performance immediately:
resmon 1
-- Look at the resource monitor
-- Green = good (under 0.5ms)
-- Yellow = watch (0.5-1ms)
-- Red = problem (over 1ms)
-- Any single script over 2ms should be replaced or optimized
resmon 0 -- disable when doneTotal server-side resource usage should stay under 8ms. Total client-side under 12ms. If you exceed this, your server will lag at 32+ players.
