Run your own city.

Yes. There is no license fee and no per-slot pricing. You pay for the machine that runs the server, nothing else.

An s&box dedicated server install on a Linux or Windows box, an inbound UDP port reachable from the internet, and basic comfort editing JSON files.

Hardware sizing depends on the slot count you want. Validate on a low-slot configuration first and scale up as you measure CPU and memory headroom on your hardware.

Most gameplay rules sit in configs/*.json and the in-game /config workspace edits them live with backup and validation. Jobs, shop items, NPCs, vehicles, emergency services, GPS locations, RP names, and arrest presets all have managed editors.

Themes and localization packs are first-class too: drop a new theme folder under configs/themes/ or a new language under Data/Localization/.

RP Downtown ships as the default map, but custom maps are fully supported.

The gamemode exposes map-override hooks for spawn points, NPC placement, doors, properties, taxi paths, and economy rules. Bringing a new map up is on you: place the doors, NPCs, spawns, and GPS points yourself, then wire the per-map overrides through the config files. See Custom map for the full workflow.

Updates ship through the s&box cloud. Restart the server to pull the latest build.

Back up your Data folder before every planned restart while LitheraRP is in early access. The save schema is not yet frozen and a migration that goes sideways is much easier to recover from with a backup.

The LitheraRP Discord is the support channel. Bug reports, config questions, partnership inquiries, all go there. Tag the right channel and a Lithera dev or a fellow host will pick it up.
