Legacy FiveM Frameworks

Some frameworks are still running on live servers but should not be chosen for anything new. This page exists so that inheriting one is not a mystery.

⚠️

Nothing on this page is a recommendation. If you are choosing a framework in 2026, start at Frameworks overview instead.

vRP

vRP-framework/vRP  is MIT-licensed, has 322 stars, and was last pushed on 2025-05-15. Its documentation lives at vrp-framework.github.io/vRP .

vRP was widely deployed in the 2017–2020 era, particularly in Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking communities, and a meaningful number of those servers are still online.

Why servers still run it

  • Years of custom gameplay written directly against vRP’s API, with no equivalent on any modern framework
  • A player base that is used to the server as it is
  • Its own database layout and permission model, which nothing else reads

What you are accepting

  • No security updates. New FiveM exploit classes are not being patched upstream.
  • No game build support. vRP predates the current game build situation and OneSync Infinity’s entity model.
  • A legacy SQL driver. It does not use oxmysql , so the connection handling and query tooling on this site’s database page mostly does not apply.
  • No hiring pool. Developers who know vRP are rare and getting rarer.

Planning an exit

There is no conversion tool and there will not be one. The realistic sequence is:

  1. Build a new server on a current framework in parallel
  2. Export only the data that matters to players — characters, money, vehicles, property ownership — and write a one-off transform into the new schema
  3. Reimplement your signature gameplay as new resources
  4. Run both, then cut over with an announced wipe of everything you chose not to migrate

See Framework migration for the checklist and the rollback discipline that applies to any cutover.

Obsolete ESX versions

Search results still surface tutorials for ESX 1.1, ESX 1.2 and “ESX Final”. These describe a framework layout that no longer exists.

The maintained project is ESX Legacy, distributed as the esx_core  monorepo. If a tutorial tells you to download separate es_extended and esx_* repositories and wire them together by hand, it is describing a version from before 2021.

Retired QBCore locations

QBCore’s code moved to the qbcore-fivem  organisation in August 2026. Links to github.com/qbcore-framework/qb-core still resolve through a GitHub redirect, so old guides appear to work — but the qbcore-framework organisation now holds only documentation and tooling repos.

Update any Git remotes you inherited:

git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/qbcore-fivem/qb-core.git
git remote -v
