What makes a server modded?
Good evening everyone,

We, 2 friends and i, started a vanila Rust server 3 months ago and now we are looking into what we can install to make it ourself a little bit easier when it comes to check if player are following the 1 raid per 24h rule. Do plugins like Raid Tracker change the server to modded or does it keep it in vanila( community )? Also, do administration plugins keep the server in vanila ( as we intended it to stay that way ) or what kinds of plugins can be installed to make the admin's life a bit easier when monitoring the server?

Its our first server that we own so everything is kinda new when it comes to keeping it vanila. We gave modded a try the very first month but that never realy felt like what we wanted. We run on avg 20 players after wipe and 10-15 players 2 weeks into a wipe, the players like the fact that we keep it vanila but that causes us extra work to be allert 24/7 to make sure the 4 rules we have are not broken.

I hope i get an anwser soon, if this was asked before, please point me in that direction so i can go and find my answers there.
No plugin determines how the server is listed, that is set by Oxide in the config file.

Regarding allowed plugins, there are numerous threads on this; but Facepunch allows admin tools and chat plugins, pretty much it. Don't abuse it. ;)
Thank you, i'll look into the threads. We are concerned if we add stuff it will change the type of server listing so this is a good step in the right direction. Thank you for your fast reaction.
