Oxide.Rust 2.0.7676 Released for Rust Server Hosts

OxideMod has published release 2.0.7676 of Oxide.Rust, providing compatibility with the September 3rd Rust update (2633.288.1). The build introduces new plugin hooks, modifies existing cooking hooks, and corrects permission verification logic across community instances.

Anyone operating a modded Rust server requires this framework update to keep plugins functioning cleanly against the latest protocol. If you run a custom community node, you can also register it on our Add Your Server page or track broader updates on the JoinGG blog.

Hook Additions and Deprecations

According to the Oxide.Rust project repository, the release adjusts how developers monitor container cooking and world interaction:

• The hook OnComposterUpdate is now deprecated in favour of OnOvenCook.
• A new hook, OnPlayerDigComplete, has been introduced for BaseDiggableEntity.
• New power grid hooks, OnPowergridStageChange(d), have been implemented.

Plugin developers targeting composters will need to transition logic over to OnOvenCook in future revisions to avoid unhandled deprecation notices or broken event flows.

Internal Bug Fixes and Method Refactoring

The 2.0.7676 build also delivers core bug fixes and cleanup across administrative routines:

• A defect affecting the permission check when issuing user grant commands has been resolved.
• The DropItem routine was refactored and fixed to execute through native game methods directly.

These modifications ensure administrative command permissions behave properly during console delegation and resolve internal inconsistencies when items drop into the game world.

Requirements for a Modded Rust Server

Server administrators updating to the 2633.288.1 protocol must apply Oxide.Rust 2.0.7676 to maintain mod compatibility. While the source notes do not specify explicit manual configuration adjustments, server owners running mods that track fertilizer production or item generation should audit their plugins for OnComposterUpdate usage. Standard update procedures apply: shut down the host instance, patch the core server files, apply the latest Oxide binaries, and restart.

What Players Will Notice

Players joining an updated host will not observe radical gameplay overhauls directly from Oxide itself. However, fixes to the DropItem method prevent potential item-handling glitches, and administrative permission systems will function correctly if an owner manages permissions in-game.
