esx_lib’s big week and a steady trickle across core libs

This week the scanner saw 1,670,730 distinct scripts across FiveM servers, up from 1,632,344 the prior week. That raw count is useful context, but the narrative is in the shapes: a single small resource, esx_lib, generated most of the attention by adding servers every day from a low base, while a handful of already-large libraries quietly accrued daily installs. Adoption remains slow at the macro scale — most resources change little across seven days — but the week contains a short list of meaningful multi-day spreads and one clear faller. The most noteworthy sustained movers each grew on 5 or 6 of the measured days: esx_lib (+692), oxmysql (+479), pma-voice (+395), ox_lib (+374) and a cluster of other libraries and utilities that added tens or hundreds of installs across their large bases. txadmin appears in the sustained list because its week shows growth on every measured day, but its daily sequence is dominated by an early jump rather than a steady trickle. On the other side, informational lost -239 servers and grew on 0/6 days, a steady slide across the week. New entries this week include a handful of small but broadly adopted scripts: 204sClownCar, ls_cctv and dusa_radio all passed sixty servers in their first week. Put simply: the week is a mix of one outsized breakout from a small base, steady daily adoption among core libraries, and a single visible attrition case.

Start with the clearest sustained spread: esx_lib. It is listed on 857 servers (prev week 165), a +692 change, and the daily counts are 441→593→775→890→1007→1101→1197. That seven-day curve is a textbook multi-day spread: every day adds installs and the absolute change is large relative to its prior base. For developers, a resource that grows on 6/6 days from a low starting point is worth investigating — it has moved beyond a single-server novelty and into repeated adoption. The large, established libraries showed the opposite shape: small, steady increases across a huge base. oxmysql is on 29,401 servers (prev week 28,922), +479, and grew on 6/6 days with daily 29,185→29,234→29,286→29,328→29,395→29,607→29,776. pma-voice is on 27,249 servers (prev week 26,854), +395, growing on 6/6 days (27,079→27,122→27,148→27,181→27,226→27,411→27,580). ox_lib is on 26,495 servers (prev week 26,121), +374, also 6/6 days (26,345→26,381→26,390→26,395→26,461→26,681→26,816). These three show tiny percentage changes but large absolute numbers; that pattern suggests broad, incremental adoption (patch-by-patch or dependency-by-dependency) rather than sudden bundling into a single server. txadmin is recorded as on 338 servers (prev week 1), +336, and it also grew on 6/6 days, but its daily sequence is concentrated: 2→132→364→391→415→419→420. The sequence indicates most of the movement happened in the first half of the measurement window rather than as a smooth trickle, which matters when judging whether that growth is organic spread or driven by a smaller number of large installs. bob74_ipl (on 25,041, +327) and screencapture (on 7,057, +211) both showed multi-day gains; bob74_ipl’s daily line includes a small mid-week dip (24,934→24,956→24,896→24,919→25,013→25,214→25,356) and screencapture’s is a steady climb (6,982→6,987→6,999→7,015→7,061→7,160→7,196). and added smaller absolute counts (+195 and +188) and grew on fewer measured days (4/6 for both), which looks more like intermittent adoption across servers already using the ox stack. Finally, and appear among the steady risers with multi-day growth; their additions are modest in percentage terms but important because these are widely reused systems. Together, the week’s rising list is split between one small breakout that increased every day and a cluster of large, core libraries that each added modest but consistent numbers.

Only one script in the published week met the report’s threshold for a clear decline: informational. It finished the week on 2,895 servers (prev week 3,134), a loss of -239 servers and a percentage change of -7.6%. The daily sequence is a steady downward line: 2,991→2,968→2,913→2,868→2,845→2,843→2,839. informational grew on 0/6 days, which looks like removal or attrition across many servers rather than a single sharp outage and recovery. When a resource with several thousand installs slides every day like this it often indicates either a rolling replacement (servers choosing an alternative) or a problem that led operators to remove it; both are plausible but not provable from the telemetry alone. No named script in the week vanished entirely from the public record, and there are no multi-hundred-server deaths beyond informational’s steady retreat. In short: the decline story this week is narrow and clear — one library losing ground day after day — rather than a broader collapse across multiple components.

This week’s first-seen resources are a reminder that many new names remain server-private, but a handful reached meaningful counts in their debut week. 204sClownCar was first seen 2026-07-22 and reached 73 servers; ls_cctv (first seen 2026-07-20) reached 69 servers; and dusa_radio (first seen 2026-07-22) reached 66 servers. Those three passed the informal threshold where a new resource looks reusable rather than one-server code. Smaller slot packages appeared too: tgg-slots-golden-frog (34), tgg-slots-custom (33) and tgg-slots-sweet-spin (32) each reached a few dozen installs, which often indicates a themed asset being picked up by multiple servers. Azil_Mafia (31), german_hydrant (29) and nexdev_crafting (28) also cleared the high-twenties. A versioned bob74_ipl-2.7.0 was first seen 2026-07-23 and reached 22 servers; that’s notable because bob74_ipl itself is a high-usage baseline, so versioned appearances are a typical pathway to broader adoption. Newcomers that pass the dozens mark are the ones worth watching next week — they have crossed the line from local curiosity to potentially shared utility.

What should server owners and plugin developers watch next week? First, esx_lib’s sustained six-day spread deserves immediate attention: it grew on 6/6 days and added +692 servers, which means it moved out of being a niche resource into repeated adoption. If you depend on or integrate with ESX variants, check compatibility and changelogs. Second, the ox stack — oxmysql, ox_lib, ox_target and ox_inventory — plus pma-voice and bob74_ipl continue to add servers on most measured days; these are organic, low-volatility gains that suggest dependency support (and testing) for these libraries remains useful. Third, txadmin’s headline jump is concentrated early in the week (daily: 2→132→364→391→415→419→420) so treat its raw week-over-week increase with caution: it’s significant, but the shape implies a small number of large installs drove most of the change. Fourth, informational’s steady -239 loss and 0/6 day growth is a warning sign for anyone depending on it — plan alternatives or monitor whether the trend continues. Finally, of the new scripts, 204sClownCar, ls_cctv and passed the dozens threshold in their first week; they are worth a quick evaluation if you need those features. Overall the week rewards incremental monitoring: sustained, multi-day growth matters more than a single large jump, and the daily shapes here give a clear separation between genuine spread and bundle-driven moves.
