QBCore Framework Overview

QBCore is the FiveM roleplay framework with the largest third-party script ecosystem. If you are buying resources from Tebex stores, QBCore compatibility is the most commonly advertised target.

Where the code lives now

QBCore moved GitHub organisations in August 2026.

⚠️

The code is now at github.com/qbcore-fivem  — 71 repositories including qb-core and every qb-* resource. The older qbcore-framework organisation retains only documentation and tooling repos such as qb-docs, qb-studio and tutorial-script.

Old links still resolve through a GitHub redirect, so a stale guide will appear to work rather than 404. Check any git remote you inherited — see Legacy frameworks for the fix.

Separately, qbcore.org has been rebuilt as a cross-platform specification site. QBCore is now positioned as a roleplay architecture standard with native implementations for FiveM, RedM, Roblox and UEFN, rather than a single Lua codebase. The FiveM implementation is the mature one and is what this section documents.

Architecture in one page

  • Core object — resources fetch a shared QBCore table via exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject(), then call into QBCore.Functions, QBCore.Shared and QBCore.Commands.
  • Player data — each connected player has a PlayerData table keyed by citizenid, holding money accounts, charinfo, job, gang and a free-form metadata table that most community scripts write into.
  • Money — three accounts by default: cash, bank, crypto.
  • Jobs and gangs — defined in qb-core/shared/jobs.lua and shared/gangs.lua, with string grade keys.
  • Items — defined in qb-core/shared/items.lua, consumed by qb-inventory.

qbcore.net  is an independent community documentation site maintained by the author of this site — not an official QBCore property. The official GitBook at qbcore.org/docs  remains the upstream reference, though many of its pages have not been updated in over a year.
