The FiveM scripting ecosystem has matured significantly in 2026. Whether you're building an ESX roleplay server, a QBCore economy, or a custom PvP experience, the right scripts make all the difference. Here's our curated list of quality-tested resources.
Core Framework Scripts
ESX 1.10+ - the most popular framework, now with improved performance and built-in anticheat hooks. QBCore v2 - lighter, faster Lua framework gaining rapid adoption. OX Core - the newest contender, built for performance from the ground up with TypeScript support. Our recommendation: ESX for maximum compatibility, QBCore for performance, OX Core if you're building from scratch.
Inventory & Item Management
OX Inventory - modern, performant, beautifully designed inventory system. Supports weight, durability, metadata, and crafting. QB-Inventory - QBCore's native inventory. ESX Legacy Inventory - the classic. OX Inventory is our top recommendation regardless of framework - it works with ESX, QBCore, and standalone.
Police & Emergency Services
QB-PoliceJob (QBCore) and ESX PoliceJob - comprehensive police systems with evidence lockers, armories, and MDT integration. wasabi_radio - best radio/communication system. Codewalker's MDT - modern tablet-based police computer. Smart Fires - firefighting scripts. wasabi_ambulance - EMS job with stretchers and medical system.
Economy & Business
QB-BossMenu / ESX Society - gang and business management. QB-Banking / ESX Banking - full banking with ATMs, transfers, and loans. OKOK GasStation - player-managed gas stations. QB-MechanicJob / ESX MechanicJob - vehicle repair businesses. QB-Housing / ESX Housing - property ownership with furniture placement.
Vehicle & Racing
QB-VehicleKeys / ESX VehicleKey - modern key system with locking/unlocking. wasabi_carlock - remote lock from distance. LT-Customs - comprehensive vehicle customization. RaceCore - organized racing with leaderboards. DriftMode - drift physics and scoring system.
Anti-Cheat & Server Protection
WaveShield - enterprise anti-cheat with cloud-based detection. EasyAdmin - free admin menu with basic cheat detection. Badger's Anti-Cheat (BAC) - community standard for years, still maintained. Our recommendation: WaveShield for serious servers, EasyAdmin for starters. Always run at least one anti-cheat - never rely on manual moderation alone.
Quality-of-Life Scripts
InteractSound - play sounds via events. Mythic Notify - beautiful notification system. ProgressBars - interactive progress bars for actions. wasabi_minigame - skill-check minigames for hacking, lockpicking, etc. QB-Target / OX Target - third-eye targeting system. DrawText - floating 3D text. These small scripts collectively make your server feel professional.
Build your server one script at a time. Test each thoroughly before adding the next. Keep your server.cfg clean and rate-limit network-heavy scripts. CyberNex's FiveM hosting plans include the performance overhead needed for 50+ resources - our 8GB plan runs a full RP server with 60+ scripts at stable 60Hz tick rate.
