Add a resource when it solves a specific need on your server. This shortlist covers five projects with public creator repositories. Review the selected revision and its licence, then test one addition at a time. “Free” does not mean dependency-free or maintenance-free.
Communication
NPWD is an option when you want a phone with a documented framework integration path. Start with its built release and verify calls, messages and saved contacts before migrating players.
EF-Phone is a QBCore-oriented alternative. Check the original manifest and its apartment, database and garage integration before choosing it for an established server. Choose one phone system; this list is not an instruction to run both together.
Jobs and activities
Wxyz Snack Shack provides a configurable food job for QBCore. Review recipe ingredients, item names and job permissions. Test insufficient ingredients and a full inventory as well as successful crafting.
CW Racing App provides track creation and race management. Its current manifest requires cw-performance and loads ox_lib and oxmysql. Test race cancellation, entry fees and payouts before introducing it to the live economy.
Pawal’s Blackout Mission is an ESX mission resource. Review its fingerprint and lockpick dependencies, database adapter and interaction with your weather or blackout controller. Check that lighting returns after the mission and after a resource restart.
Decide whether to keep it
Write down the missing capability, integration work and acceptance tests before installing. Keep the resource only if it adds a useful activity without duplicating an existing system or damaging persistent data. Save the previous files and database state for a targeted rollback.
