Rust Server Architectures
Choose a architecture that matches your goals:
- Vanilla: Official Rust binaries for pure survival experience.
- Oxide/uMod: Plugin ecosystem that adds custom kits, events, and economies.
- Nexus: Clustered server networks for massive, persistent worlds.
- Performance-First: High-TPS, low-entity builds tuned for competitive play.
Note: Rust demands fast CPUs and low latency. We recommend 8+ cores for 50+ players plus consistent RAM/SSD to keep your world responsive.
