About Headphones
Looking to add some tunes while you conquer the wasteland?
The Headphones Plugin is here to elevate your Rust experience! Whether you're grinding for resources, gearing up for a raid, or just chilling in your base, this plugin lets you jam out to your favorite tracks without missing a beat. No more boring downtime — just pure rhythm while you dominate the game. 
Create custom audio streams and let your players experience your unique soundtrack
— whether you're giving audio instructions
or simply setting the perfect vibe
. The possibilities are endless, and your imagination is the only limit!
How It Works:
The plugin places a virtual pair of headphones on your head
, allowing you to stream music and audio in-game. All controls are accessible directly from a HUD panel in the top-right corner — no need to look up or hold any keys. Just hit Tab for mouse access and click.
The headphones won't spawn if you're already wearing a hat or headgear.
Commands:
/headphone – Puts the headphones on (requires headphones.use permission) /removeheadphone – Removes your headphones and stops the music /radioplay – Starts playback (chat alternative to the Play button) /radiostop – Stops playback (chat alternative to the Stop button)
UI Controls:
A control panel appears in the top-right corner of the screen:
▶ PLAY – Start streaming the current station
■ STOP – Stop streaming
STATIONS – Opens the station picker to browse and switch stations instantly
A "Now Playing" label shows the current station name in the bottom-left corner while music is active.
Pro Tip: Hit Tab to get mouse access and click the buttons instantly — takes less than a second to stop audio in an emergency!
