Summary
Rust has many options available for plugin/mod loaders that allow users to add additional content or customization to their servers. The popular Carbon plugin framework is a robust tool with excellent performance and stability. The tool is self-updating, and has many available plugins to choose from. Carbon currently serves as an alternative option to Oxide/UMod, and is slowly receiving more support from developers than Oxide, making it the premier plugin tool for stability on a server.
