Server Browser

by evs-ptr

Carbon's integrated Server Browser puts the entire Rust multiplayer landscape at your fingertips. An intuitive interface, powered by a lightning-fast fuzzy index, lets you drill down from thousands of servers to the perfect match in just a few clicks.

Smart search - instantly match on hostname, IP (with optional port), map name or even tag keywords.
Visual population meter - colour-coded bars and exact player counts make it easy to spot crowded hubs or quiet hideaways.
Deep filtering - stack AND/OR filters for tags, pick a geographic region, lock in a specific Rust build, or set min/max player ranges.
One-click join - copy the server's IP:Port straight to your clipboard, ready for the in-game console.
