# How to Enable Client Plugins on a FiveM Server

Enable client-side plugins on your FiveM server to enhance gameplay, add custom features, and improve player experience.

Client plugins allow for advanced customization, such as adding custom menus, HUDs, and other client-side scripts. They make your server more engaging and unique, offering a tailored experience for your players.

It’s important to note that balancing functionality with security is crucial to maintaining a safe and enjoyable server environment. It’s important to only ever use **trusted plugins** from **verified sources**, **developers**, and **repositories**. Monitor player activity for any suspicious behavior, and ensure your server, scripts, and plugins are up to date!

This guide will walk you through the process of enabling client plugins using your Nodecraft servers control panel!

## Enable Client Plugins

**Note: Be sure that your FiveM server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

1. Go to the Nodecraft control panel for your FiveM server.
2. Click on the **Game Settings** tab on the left-side toolbar.
3. Locate the **Allow Scripthook** toggle option.

  ![The Advanced tab within the Game Settings menu is open, showing configuration options. The Allow Scripthook option is toggled on, enabling players to use plugins with the scripthook system.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1134x567/dc23a70902/screenshot-2025-02-17-173404.png/m/1000x0/smart)
4. Toggle this option **On**.
5. Click the **Submit** button at the bottom to save your changes.
6. **Start** your server.

**Important: Allowing client plugins opens the door for custom scripts, but it also makes your server more vulnerable to malicious scripts or cheats.**

## Conclusion

With client plugins enabled, your FiveM server has more flexibility to deliver a unique and engaging experience. Just remember, with great customization comes great responsibility!
