FiveM is Cfx.re's multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V that transformed GTA V into the world's largest roleplay platform. Server owners create completely custom multiplayer experiences: custom jobs systems (police, EMS, mechanics, lawyers, criminals), economy frameworks, vehicle modifications, housing systems, and complex faction mechanics.
The two dominant frameworks are QBCore (modern, actively-maintained with 100,000+ developer community) and ESX (original 2017 framework with thousands of legacy scripts). Both provide player data management, inventory systems, job frameworks, banking, vehicle ownership, housing, and admin tools.
Running a FiveM server involves FXServer binary, MariaDB database, Node.js runtime, and hundreds of Lua resources. Our template auto-provisions everything: FXServer with automatic updates, MariaDB with auto-injected credentials, txAdmin web panel, and full SFTP access.
