Technical Plugin Architecture
RocketMod (alongside its modernized successor, OpenMod) is the essential technical foundation for high-quality Unturned community servers. It functions as a lightweight abstraction layer that enables the execution of specialized.dll plugins, allowing administrators to implement features such as complex Economy systems, Home/TPA teleports, and granular Permission Groups. Without this framework, your server is restricted to the game’s basic survival commands. The FREAKHOSTING platform provides an automated deployment method to ensure your server is correctly patched for high-performance modding.
