Rust / Server Plugins

Craft Panel

Custom CraftingRust Plugin

Your recipes. Your rewards. One simple crafting panel.

Give players a clear, customizable interface for crafting your server's items and rewards. Define the required ingredients, show what each recipe needs, and deliver either a game item or a reward through a command from another plugin.

02 / How it works

Turn ingredients into the rewards you choose

Craft Panel lets you configure the ingredients needed to obtain each item. A recipe can create a game item directly or execute a command provided by a third-party plugin.

03 / Player interface

Three clear areas for every recipe

Selecting another recipe updates the information and ingredient panels without rebuilding the entire interface.

04 / Configuration

Make the panel fit your server

• Panel appearance. Customize the panel title and the colors of buttons, text and background.
• Recipe presentation. Set names, descriptions, images and icons for your items.
• Sound effects. Enable or disable sounds, or replace the three configured sound prefabs.
• Workbench access. Configure the button shown when opening a workbench and the permission required to see it.
• Recipe visibility. Choose whether players can see recipes they do not have permission to craft.
• New recipes. Duplicate an existing recipe entry and customize its settings. Basic plugin configuration knowledge is recommended.

05 / Permissions & command

Control who can craft what

Players open the panel with /craft. The default general access permission is craftpanel.use. Recipe access also requires the permission configured for that individual item.

Examples of per-item access permissions

• craftpanel.rhib.use
• craftpanel.boat.use
• craftpanel.supercard.use

Use the permission names defined in your own recipe configuration.

06 / VIP benefits

Set discounts for individual recipes

Assign a VIP permission to a recipe and set its discount percentage. Each recipe can also define a separate no-cost permission.

07 / Configuration example

Start with two example recipes

The example below includes a recycler and a mini helicopter recipe. Both use commands from other plugins. Adjust the commands, permissions, images and ingredient costs for your server before using them.
