Harmony is Rust's built-in modding platform which means there is no need for external installation compared to Oxide. Although there is not much documentation available on the Harmony feature, some Rust server owners may prefer to use Harmony mods due to their official API support and easy installation.
# How to Install Harmony Mods
The Harmony API is built into every Rust server by default, which means installing Harmony mods to your Rust server only requires you to upload the .dll files to the proper folder, followed by loading each mod using the harmony.load command in your server console command line.
- Download your desired Harmony mod(s), these can be found from Lone Design or Codefling.
- Access your controlĀ panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to your server files.
- Locate and open the folder named HarmonyMods.
- Upload your
.dll
Harmony mods. Simply drag and drop the files in the directory. - Navigate to your server's Console, and Start your server.
- Once your server is online, type
harmony.load (YOUR MOD NAME)
into the command line. Replacing (YOUR MOD NAME) with the name of the mod you uploaded.
- This step does not have to be done after every restart, once loaded, the mod will persist through server restarts.
- To unload a Harmony mod, use the command
harmony.unload (YOUR MOD NAME)
in the console command line.
Congratulations, you should have now successfully installed your desired Harmony mods to your Rust server!
