About Disable Player-made Boats
xDisablePlayerBoats
xDisablePlayerBoats lets you block players from building/editing player made boats (Rust's NAVAL Update) either completely or only during a configurable ingame time window (perfect for “boat building events”).
This plugin hooks into Rust’s build system and prevents placement of key boat-building items, including:
- Boat Building Station
- Boat Building Plan
- Steering Wheel
- Small Boat Engine
- Sail
When blocked, players receive a clear chat message explaining whether boat building/editing is fully disabled or only allowed during event hours.
Permission
xdisableplayerboats.bypass - Players with this permission can build boats even when restrictions are active.
Config
{ "EventEnabled": false, "StartHour": 18, "EndHour": 23, "EventStartMessageText": "» Boat building event is now active! You can build/edit boats now.", "EventEndMessageText": "» Boat building event is now over! Boat building/editing is disabled now." }
- EventEnabled = false → Boat building is always disabled (INGAME-TIME!)
- EventEnabled = true → Boat building is only allowed between StartHour–EndHour (INGAME-TIME!)
- Supports wrap-around hours (example: 22 → 06)
Ideal for:
- Servers that want to reduce water/boat spam
- PvP servers that want controlled boat availability
- Running scheduled boat-building events
- Enforcing progression/economy balance
