While Rust offers the server.pve setting, this does not support a full PvE environment and reflects the damage inflicted on other players.

To enable full PvE on your server, we recommend using the True PvE plugin.

Oxide

This article assumes you have Oxide installed. If you need help with installing Oxide, you can find our tutorial here.

#Installing True PvE

  1. Download the True PvE plugin, found here. The file should download as TruePVE.cs.

  1. On your control panel, navigate to the Files tab and access your server directory.

  2. Upload TruePVE.cs to /oxide/plugins and restart your server.

PvE is now enabled on your server.

The TruePVE plugin gives you full control over your server’s PvE configuration, including entity damage, event settings, and other situational rules. For a full breakdown of how the plugin works, you can view the documentation on the official plugin page here.
