QBCore FiveM Framework, Server Setup & Hire a Developer (2026)

What is QBCore?

QBCore is a leading FiveM roleplay framework for GTA V multiplayer servers. It manages player data, jobs, inventory, housing, and economy (usually with MySQL via oxmysql). Official open-source project: github.com/qbcore-framework.

Why choose QBCore for your FiveM server?

• Modern Lua architecture and active GitHub development
• Large Tebex and open-source script ecosystem
• Strong performance when resources are optimized (resmon-aware)
• Default choice for many new RP servers in 2026
• Pairs well with the Overextended (ox) stack for inventory, target, and UI

QBCore + ox stack (ox_lib, ox_inventory, ox_target)

Most production QBCore cities in 2026 use a hybrid stack:

• ox_lib — menus, notifications, zones, shared utilities
• ox_inventory — modern inventory (often replacing qb-inventory)
• ox_target — interactive targeting (or qb-target)
• oxmysql — database driver for qb-core and jobs
• qb-core — player/job/gang framework layer

RAX configures QBCore with full ox integration when it fits your script list — see server build options.

A complete QBCore server setup typically includes:

• Hosting — high-clock VPS or dedicated (FiveM VPS hosting)
