QBCore#

What is QBCore?#

QBCore is a lightweight, modular framework for building servers and game modes on HELIX, the Unreal Engine–powered sandbox environment. It gives developers a modern, well-organized foundation for scripting gameplay in Lua, enabling rapid creation of complex systems without having to reinvent the wheel.

By following clean, event-driven design principles and providing reusable modules, QBCore makes it easy to maintain, extend, and customize your HELIX server — whether you’re hosting an open-world roleplay experience, competitive arenas, or completely original game modes.

How QBCore Helps HELIX Developers#

  • Structured Server Architecture – Standardized folder layout, package management, and configuration keep your code organized.

  • Event-Based API – Built-in server/client events streamline communication between Lua scripts, Blueprints, and the Unreal Engine runtime.

  • Core Systems Ready to Go – Player data handling, inventories, jobs, permissions, and character creation come pre-implemented and easy to extend.

  • Modularity – Enable only the parts you need, swap components out, or write your own without breaking the framework.

  • Unreal Engine Advantages – Access high-fidelity graphics, Chaos physics, Metahumans, and other UE5 features from your Lua scripts.

  • Active Community & Ecosystem – A growing library of open-source resources, tutorials, and plugins means you rarely have to start from scratch.

Why Use QBCore on HELIX#

For new server owners, QBCore drastically reduces setup time by providing a stable, battle-tested base. For experienced developers, it speeds up iteration and encourages clean code practices so your team can focus on gameplay ideas instead of boilerplate.

In short, QBCore is the go-to framework for building modern, maintainable servers and game modes on HELIX—powerful enough for large roleplay communities yet flexible enough for niche game modes.
