Welcome
Everything you need to host a s&box server on Emrald or build addons that run on it.
Welcome to Emrald — the platform that lets you spin up s&box game servers, configure them through a web panel, and extend them with addons built by you or the community.
These docs cover two journeys:
- Host your projects/servers — create a project, configure environments, run dedicated servers, install addons.
- Create your addons — build your own addon for Emrald with the s&box editor, then publish it for other operators.
Where to start
Host your projects/servers
From signing in with Steam to running a fully-configured server with addons and custom permissions.
Create your addons
Build custom jobs, weapons, vehicles, and more in the s&box editor — then ship them to any Emrald server.
New to s&box? It's Facepunch's spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, built on Source 2 with C# and a modern editor. Grab it from sbox.game before diving into addon development.
