description: Build Roblox games on KashTheKing's Init module loader (Wally package kashtheking/init, Init Framework Studio plugin). Use when a game has ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Init or InitServer/InitClient boot scripts, when the user asks to install or set up Init, or to add a Service, Controller, GuiController, Binder, Network (Packet) module, Class or Input context to a game that uses Init.

# Init framework

Init is a module loader for Roblox. Two boot scripts (one Script, one LocalScript) call `Init.start`
with a list of folders. Init requires every ModuleScript in them, calls each module's `Init`, then
each module's `Start`, then connects the module's hook methods (`OnPlayerAdded`, `OnHeartbeat`, ...).
Modules are plain tables; they never connect those events themselves.

Docs: https://kashtheking.com/init/ · Source: https://github.com/KashTheKing/init ·
Templates: https://kashtheking.com/init/templates/ (raw `.luau` files)

## 1. Find out how the game is set up

- **Rojo project** (a `*.project.json` and usually a `wally.toml`): edit files, install with Wally.
- **Studio only** (no project files; you may have Roblox Studio MCP tools such as `execute_luau`): create
  instances in Studio.
- **Already uses Init** if `ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Init` exists, or a Script calls `Init.start`.
  Skip to section 3.
- **Old Init** if `ReplicatedStorage.Init` is a ModuleScript with `SharedEntries`/`ServerEntries`
  children and `InitServer`/`InitClient` scripts inside it. It works; don't migrate unless asked
  (guide: https://kashtheking.com/init/docs/migrating/). Its modules use the same methods.

## 2. Install

### Rojo + Wally

1. `wally.toml`, under `[dependencies]`: `Init = "kashtheking/init@1.0.0"`, then run `wally install`.
2. The project file must map `Packages` to `ReplicatedStorage.Packages`.
3. Add the two boot scripts and the folders from the example project
   (https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/tree/main/example), mapped like `example.project.json`:
   - `ServerScriptService/InitServer.server.luau`
   - `StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts/InitClient.client.luau`
   - folders: `ReplicatedStorage/{Network, Services, Controllers, Binders/Shared, Binders/Client}`,
     `ServerScriptService/{Services, Binders}`. Every folder a boot script names must exist, or the boot
     script errors. Rojo skips empty directories in git, so keep a `.gitkeep` in each or declare it in the
     project file with `"$className": "Folder"`.

### Studio only

Best for the user: install the **Init Framework** plugin
(https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/77164672536940/Init-Framework), then press **Setup** (loader, boot
scripts and folders) and **Add Packages** (Trove, Signal, Packet, Binder). Ask them to do this if you can't
click in Studio.

If you can run Luau in Studio but can't use the plugin:

1. Get `Init.rbxm` from https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/releases/latest.
2. Load it: copy it into Studio's content folder
   (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\Versions\<version>\content\` on Windows, `RobloxStudio.app/Contents/Resources/content/`
   on macOS) and run `game:GetObjects("rbxasset://Init.rbxm")[1]` in edit mode, or ask the user to drag the
   file into Studio's Explorer.
3. Put the `Init` ModuleScript in `ReplicatedStorage.Packages` (make the folder if needed).
4. Create the boot scripts (Script `InitServer` in ServerScriptService, LocalScript `InitClient` in
   StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts) with the source of the example's boot scripts, and the folders
   listed above.

## 3. Add modules

Copy the matching template, replace every `_SNIPPET_` with the name, and put it in the right folder.
The boot scripts only load names that match their predicate, so **the suffix matters**.

| You want | Template | Name | Folder |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Server game logic | `Service.luau` | `ShopService` | `ServerScriptService/Services` |
| Logic on server and client | `Service.luau` | `TimeService` | `ReplicatedStorage/Services` |
| Client game logic | `Controller.luau` | `CameraController` | `ReplicatedStorage/Controllers` |
| One ScreenGui | `GuiController.luau` | `ShopGuiController` (for a ScreenGui named `Shop`) | `ReplicatedStorage/Controllers` |
| Remote events (Packet) | `Network.luau` | `ShopNetwork` | `ReplicatedStorage/Network` |
| Code per tagged instance | `Binder.luau` | `LavaBinder` | `ServerScriptService/Binders`, `ReplicatedStorage/Binders/Client` or `/Shared` |
| An object class | `Class.luau` | `Weapon` | `ReplicatedStorage/Classes` (Init does not load it) |
| A subclass | `InheritedClass.luau` | `Sword` | child of the parent class's ModuleScript |
| A class for a Binder | `BoundClass.luau` | `Lava` | next to its Binder |
| Player input | `Input.model.json` (InputContext) | `CombatInput` | `ReplicatedStorage/Input` |

Templates are at `https://kashtheking.com/init/templates/<Template>` (for example `.../templates/Service.luau`).
Network, Binder and BoundClass need packages: `Packet = "kashtheking/packet@1.0.0"`,
`Binder = "kashtheking/binder@0.6.3"`, `Trove = "sleitnick/trove@1.8.0"` (or the plugin's Add Packages).

## 4. Rules that matter

- **Init**: set up the module's own state. Runs one module at a time; don't wait for other modules or
  yield for long (3 s `InitTimeout`, then the module is reported and skipped).
- **Start**: runs after every Init has finished, so other modules are ready. All Starts run at once; a Start
  that waits doesn't block the others (15 s `StartTimeout`, then Init stops waiting; the Start keeps running).
- To use another module, `require` it (from the top of the file or inside Start). It returns the same table
  Init loaded. Don't call its methods during your Init.
- Hooks (all optional): `OnPlayerAdded(player)` (also runs for players already in game),
  `OnPlayerRemoving(player)`, `Step(dt)` (fixed 60/s), `OnHeartbeat(dt)`, `OnStepped(time, dt)`; client only:
  `OnRenderStepped(dt)`, `OnCharacterAdded(character)`, `OnCharacterRemoving(character)`, `OnDied()`.
  Never connect `Players.PlayerAdded` yourself in an Init module; use the hook.
- A ModuleScript inside another ModuleScript is not loaded by Init. Put private helpers there.
- Every module must `return` exactly one value. Module names should be unique across loaded folders.
- Attributes on a ModuleScript: `Ignore = true` skips it; `Priority = <number>` loads it earlier (lower first)
  within its entry.
- Never call `Init.start` anywhere except the two boot scripts.
- To load another folder, add an entry to **both** boot scripts if it's shared:
  `{ Folders = { ReplicatedStorage.Systems }, Predicate = Init.matchesName("System$") }`.

## 5. Check it works

Play the game (Studio MCP: start a playtest, then read the output). The Output should show:

```
🔲 Initializing Server
✅ Initialized 4 Server modules in 0.02s
🔲 Initializing Client
✅ Initialized 3 Client modules in 0.01s
```

Errors start with `[Init]` and name the module and method. Common ones:
- `X is not a valid member of ReplicatedStorage`: a folder named in a boot script is missing. Create it.
- `must return exactly one value`: the module has no `return` at the end.
- `X:Init() didn't finish within 3s`: Init is waiting on something; move that into Start.
- A module never runs: its name doesn't match the entry's predicate (e.g. `Shop` instead of `ShopService`),
  it's nested inside another ModuleScript, or it has the `Ignore` attribute.

# What is Init?

Init is a **module loader**: the thing that starts your game's code.

Without one, every Script runs on its own, in an order you don't control, and each one connects `Players.PlayerAdded`, `RunService.Heartbeat` and friends by hand. With Init, your game has exactly two scripts (one for the server, one for the client) and everything else is a ModuleScript in a folder:

```
ReplicatedStorage
├─ Packages/Init            the loader
├─ Network                  remote events (loaded first)
├─ Services                 code for server AND client   (names end in Service)
├─ Controllers              code for the client only     (names end in Controller)
└─ Binders/Shared, Client   code that runs per tagged instance
ServerScriptService
├─ InitServer               boots the server
├─ Services                 server-only code              (names end in Service)
└─ Binders
StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts
└─ InitClient               boots the client
```

When the game starts, Init:

1. **Loads** every module, folder by folder, in the order the boot script lists them.
2. Calls **`Init`** on each one, one at a time. Modules set up their own data here.
3. Calls **`Start`** on all of them. Now every module is ready, so they can use each other.
4. Connects their **hooks**: `OnPlayerAdded`, `OnPlayerRemoving`, `Step` (60 times a second), `OnHeartbeat`, and on the client `OnCharacterAdded`, `OnDied`, `OnRenderStepped`...

A module only writes the methods it needs:

```lua
local CoinService = {}

function CoinService.Init(self)
	self.Coins = {}
end

function CoinService.OnPlayerAdded(self, player: Player)
	self.Coins[player] = 0
end

function CoinService.OnPlayerRemoving(self, player: Player)
	self.Coins[player] = nil
end

return CoinService
```

## Pick how to install

- **[Without code](install/no-code.md):** the Init Framework plugin. Two clicks.
- **[With AI](install/with-ai.md):** paste one prompt into Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT.
- **[Rojo + Wally](install/wally.md):** `kashtheking/init`.
- **[Studio, by hand](install/model.md):** drag in `Init.rbxm`.

Next: [the lifecycle](guides/lifecycle.md) explains exactly when each method runs.

# Install without code

The **Init Framework** plugin sets up everything. You don't need to write a line.

1. Get the plugin from the Creator Store: [Init Framework](https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/77164672536940/Init-Framework). In Studio it appears in the **Plugins** tab.
2. Open your place and press **Setup**. This adds:
   - the loader at `ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Init`
   - `InitServer` in ServerScriptService and `InitClient` in StarterPlayer › StarterPlayerScripts
   - the folders: `Network`, `Services`, `Controllers`, `Binders`, `Classes`, `Constants`, `Input`
3. Press **Add Packages** for Trove, Signal, Packet and Binder (the Network and Binder templates use them).
4. Press **Play**. The Output shows `✅ Initialized 0 Server modules` and `✅ Initialized 0 Client modules`. Init is running.

## Add your first module

1. Click the `Services` folder in **ServerScriptService**.
2. Press **Service** in the plugin. A new module opens.
3. Rename it in the Explorer to `Coin`. The plugin renames it `CoinService` and fills the name into the code.
4. Write your code in the methods (delete the ones you don't need) and press Play.

Every button works the same way: select the folder, press the button, rename.

| Button | Makes | Put it in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Service | game logic (`...Service`) | ServerScriptService › Services (server) or ReplicatedStorage › Services (both) |
| Controller | client logic (`...Controller`) | ReplicatedStorage › Controllers |
| Gui Controller | a controller for one ScreenGui | ReplicatedStorage › Controllers |
| Network | Packet remote events | ReplicatedStorage › Network |
| Binder | code for every part with a tag | ServerScriptService › Binders, ReplicatedStorage › Binders › Client or Shared |
| Bound Class | a class for a Binder | next to the Binder |
| Class / InheritedClass | an object class | ReplicatedStorage › Classes |
| Input | an InputContext | ReplicatedStorage › Input |
| Add Extras | an `Assets` folder that preloads, plus SFX and Music sound groups | |
| Update Script Name | renames the open script to the text you selected | |

What every template does: [Templates](../guides/templates.md).

# Install with AI

Init ships an **AI skill**: one file that teaches an AI how to install Init, where every kind of module goes and the rules to follow. Point your AI at it.

- Skill: [`https://kashtheking.com/init/SKILL.md`](https://kashtheking.com/init/SKILL.md)
- Templates (raw): `https://kashtheking.com/init/templates/Service.luau`, `Controller.luau`, `Binder.luau`, ...
- Everything in one page for AI: [`https://kashtheking.com/init/llms.txt`](https://kashtheking.com/init/llms.txt)

## Copy this prompt

Paste it into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any AI that can read web pages:

```text
Read https://kashtheking.com/init/SKILL.md and follow it.
Set up the Init framework (kashtheking/init) in my Roblox game, then add a CoinService
that gives every player 100 coins when they join and shows them on the leaderboard.
```

Change the second part to whatever you want built. After setup, you can keep asking: *"add a ShopGuiController for my Shop ScreenGui"*, *"add a LavaBinder that kills players who touch parts tagged Lava"*.

## Claude Code

Install the skill once and Claude uses it whenever you mention Init:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/init-framework && curl -L https://kashtheking.com/init/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/init-framework/SKILL.md
```

With the **Roblox Studio MCP** connected, Claude can create the modules in Studio and playtest. With a Rojo project, it edits files and runs `wally install`.

## If your AI can't touch Studio

Chat AIs (ChatGPT, Claude.ai) can't click in Studio. Do the setup with the [plugin](no-code.md) (two clicks), then ask the AI for module code and paste it into a module the plugin made.

## Check the AI's work

Press Play. The Output should say `✅ Initialized N Server modules` and `✅ Initialized N Client modules`. Anything that starts with `[Init]` is an error: paste it back to the AI. See [Troubleshooting](../guides/troubleshooting.md).

# Install with Rojo + Wally

1. Add Init to `wally.toml`:

   ```toml
   [dependencies]
   Init = "kashtheking/init@1.0.0"
   ```

2. `wally install`, and map `Packages` to `ReplicatedStorage.Packages` in your project file.

3. Add the boot scripts and folders. The [example project](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/tree/main/example) has all of them; copy it, or start from it:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/KashTheKing/init && cd init && rojo serve example.project.json
   ```

   - [`ServerScriptService/InitServer.server.luau`](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/blob/main/example/ServerScriptService/InitServer.server.luau)
   - [`StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts/InitClient.client.luau`](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/blob/main/example/StarterPlayerScripts/InitClient.client.luau)

   Every folder a boot script names must exist. Git doesn't keep empty folders, so add a `.gitkeep` to each (Rojo ignores it) or declare them in the project file with `"$className": "Folder"`.

4. `rojo serve`, connect from Studio and press Play.

Your folders, names and order are yours: change the entries in the boot scripts. See [Entries](../guides/entries.md).

The [templates](../guides/templates.md) are plain `.luau` files you can copy, and the [plugin](no-code.md)'s template buttons work in Rojo games too.


---


# Install by hand in Studio

1. Download `Init.rbxm` from the [latest release](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/releases/latest).
2. In Studio, make a Folder named `Packages` in ReplicatedStorage. Drag `Init.rbxm` onto it (or right-click it › **Insert from File**).
3. Make a **Script** named `InitServer` in ServerScriptService and paste in [InitServer](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/blob/main/example/ServerScriptService/InitServer.server.luau).
4. Make a **LocalScript** named `InitClient` in StarterPlayer › StarterPlayerScripts and paste in [InitClient](https://github.com/KashTheKing/init/blob/main/example/StarterPlayerScripts/InitClient.client.luau).
5. Make the folders the boot scripts name: in ReplicatedStorage `Network`, `Services`, `Controllers`, `Binders` (with `Shared` and `Client` inside); in ServerScriptService `Services` and `Binders`.
6. Press Play and look for `✅ Initialized` in the Output.

The [plugin](no-code.md)'s Setup button does all of this for you.


---


# Lifecycle

`Init.start(entries)` runs in this order, separately on the server and on each client.

## 1. Load

Entries load in list order. Inside an entry, every ModuleScript in its `Folders` (at any depth) is required, lowest `Priority` attribute first, then in Explorer order. Skipped:

- a ModuleScript inside another ModuleScript (it belongs to its parent, which can `require` it)
- a module whose `Ignore` attribute is `true`
- a module the entry's `Predicate` turns down (e.g. not ending in `Service`)

A module that errors while loading is reported and left out; the rest still load.

## 2. Init: one at a time

`module:Init()` runs for each module, in load order, and Init waits for each before the next. Use it for the module's **own** setup: tables, constants, instances it owns. Other modules may not have run their Init yet, so don't call into them here.

If Init errors or takes longer than `InitTimeout` (3 s), it's reported and **that module doesn't Start** or get hooks.

## 3. Start: all at once

After every Init has finished, `module:Start()` runs for every module, in load order, each in its own thread. A Start that waits (for a GUI, for data) doesn't hold up the others. This is where modules use each other.

If Start errors or runs longer than `StartTimeout` (15 s), it's reported. A Start that's still running keeps running; Init just stops waiting for it.

## 4. Hooks

As soon as a module's Start returns, its hooks connect:

| Method | Runs | Args |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `OnPlayerAdded` | for each player already in game, then each player who joins | `player` |
| `OnPlayerRemoving` | when a player leaves | `player` |
| `Step` | exactly 60 times a second, however fast frames run | `dt` (1/60) |
| `OnHeartbeat` | every `RunService.Heartbeat` | `dt` |
| `OnStepped` | every `RunService.Stepped` | `time, dt` |
| `OnRenderStepped` | client: every frame before render | `dt` |
| `OnCharacterAdded` | client: local player's current and each new character | `character` |
| `OnCharacterRemoving` | client: when the character is removed | `character` |
| `OnDied` | client: when the local player's Humanoid dies | |

Errors in a hook are reported and don't break the event. Per-frame hooks get a MicroProfiler label like `CoinService - Step`.

## 5. Done

The promise from `Init.start` resolves once every Start has returned (or timed out):

```lua
Init.start(entries):andThen(function(modules, count, seconds)
	print(modules.CoinService, count, seconds)
end)
```

## Using one module from another

Modules are plain tables, and `require` returns the same table Init loaded:

```lua
local CoinService = require(ServerScriptService.Services.CoinService)

function ShopService.Start(self)
	CoinService:Give(player, 10) -- fine: every Init has run
end
```


---


# Entries and folders

The boot scripts decide what loads and in what order. Each entry is a group of folders:

```lua
Init.start({
	{ Folders = { ReplicatedStorage.Network } },                     -- 1st: every module in Network
	{
		Folders = { ReplicatedStorage.Services, ServerScriptService.Services },
		Predicate = Init.matchesName("Service$"),                      -- 2nd: only names ending in Service
	},
	{ Folders = { ReplicatedStorage.Binders.Shared, ServerScriptService.Binders } }, -- 3rd
})
```

- **Order:** entries load in list order. Inside an entry, the `Priority` attribute (lower first) then Explorer order.
- **Predicate:** a function `(module) -> boolean`. `Init.matchesName(pattern)` makes one from a [string pattern](https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/strings#string-patterns): `"Service$"` ends in Service, `"^Admin"` starts with Admin.
- **Shared folders** (in ReplicatedStorage) go in **both** boot scripts.

## Adding your own folder

Say you want `ReplicatedStorage.Systems` with modules named `...System`:

1. Make the folder.
2. Add an entry to `InitServer` and `InitClient` (or just one, if it's one-sided):

   ```lua
   { Folders = { ReplicatedStorage.Systems }, Predicate = Init.matchesName("System$") },
   ```

## Attributes

Set these on a ModuleScript in the Properties window:

| Attribute | Type | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Ignore` | boolean | `true`: Init skips it |
| `Priority` | number | lower loads earlier inside its entry (default 0) |

## The old Entries modules

The old Init kept entries in `SharedEntries`/`ServerEntries`/`ClientEntries` modules as named dictionaries with `Order`. That format still works: `Init.start(require(path.to.ServerEntries))` sorts it by `Order`. See [Migrating](../migrating.md).


---


# Settings

Pass overrides as the second argument of `Init.start`. A name that isn't a setting is an error, so typos are caught.

```lua
Init.start(entries, { Verbose = true, StartTimeout = 30 })
```

| Setting | Default | What |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Verbose` | `false` | log every module as it loads, inits and starts |
| `DefaultLogEnabled` | `true` | log `🔲 Initializing` and `✅ Initialized N modules` |
| `DebugLabelFormat` | `"%s - %s"` | MicroProfiler label for per-frame hooks (module, method) |
| `InitTimeout` | `3` | seconds to wait for each `Init` |
| `StartTimeout` | `15` | seconds to wait for each `Start` |
| `DefaultPriority` | `0` | priority of modules without a `Priority` attribute |
| `IgnoreAttribute` | `"Ignore"` | attribute that skips a module |
| `PriorityAttribute` | `"Priority"` | attribute that orders modules |

The method names are settings too, if you'd rather call them something else:

| Setting | Default |
| --- | --- |
| `InitMethod` | `"Init"` |
| `StartMethod` | `"Start"` |
| `PlayerAdded` | `"OnPlayerAdded"` |
| `PlayerRemoving` | `"OnPlayerRemoving"` |
| `Accumulator` | `"Step"` |
| `Heartbeat` | `"OnHeartbeat"` |
| `Stepped` | `"OnStepped"` |
| `RenderStepped` | `"OnRenderStepped"` |
| `Died` | `"OnDied"` |
| `CharacterAdded` | `"OnCharacterAdded"` |
| `CharacterRemoving` | `"OnCharacterRemoving"` |

# Troubleshooting

Init's errors start with `[Init]` and name the module and method.

| You see | Why | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Network is not a valid member of ReplicatedStorage` | a boot script names a folder that doesn't exist | make the folder, or remove the entry |
| `... must return exactly one value` | the module doesn't end with `return` | add `return MyModule` at the bottom |
| `X:Init() didn't finish within 3s` | Init is waiting (WaitForChild, a DataStore, another module) | move the waiting into `Start` |
| `X:Start() didn't finish within 15s` | Start waits a long time | fine if intended (it keeps running); otherwise `task.spawn` the loop or raise `StartTimeout` |
| `X:Init() errored: ...` | a bug in Init | fix it; that module won't Start until then |
| `Two loaded modules are named "X"` | two modules share a name | rename one; both still run |
| `Init.start was already called` | two boot scripts on one side | keep one InitServer and one InitClient (the old `ReplicatedStorage.Init` boots too, see [Migrating](../migrating.md)) |
| `"X" isn't a setting` | a typo in the settings table | check [Settings](settings.md) |

## A module never runs

- Its name doesn't match the entry's predicate: `Coins` isn't loaded by `matchesName("Service$")`; name it `CoinService`.
- It's inside another ModuleScript. Only top-level modules (folders are fine) load.
- It has the `Ignore` attribute.
- It's in a folder no entry lists, or on the wrong side (a Controller in ServerScriptService).
- Turn on `Verbose = true` to see every module Init loads.

## Nothing prints at all

The boot scripts aren't running: `InitServer` must be a **Script** in ServerScriptService and `InitClient` a **LocalScript** in StarterPlayerScripts, both enabled.


---


# Migrating from the old Init

The old Init was a ModuleScript at `ReplicatedStorage.Init` with `Settings`, `SharedEntries`, `ServerEntries`, `ClientEntries` and two scripts inside it that booted the game. Your modules don't change: same `Init`, `Start` and hook methods.

1. Press **Setup** in the [plugin](install/no-code.md) (or [install by hand](install/model.md)). It adds `ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Init`, `InitServer` and `InitClient`.
2. If you changed the old Entries modules, copy those folders into the new boot scripts as list entries (`Order` becomes the position in the list). If you changed `Settings`, pass those values as the second argument of `Init.start`.
3. Delete `ReplicatedStorage.Init`. While it's there, it boots the game a second time.
4. Press Play and check for `✅ Initialized`.

## What behaves differently

- **Every Init runs before any Start.** The old loader ran Init then Start per module, so a Start could run before other modules' Init. If a Start relied on that, move the code into Init.
- **Starts run at the same time.** A slow Start no longer holds up the modules after it.
- **Modules run in the order you list.** The old loader required in order but called Init/Start in an arbitrary order.
- **Modules inside a ModuleScript aren't loaded.** The old one loaded them too, unless a predicate filtered them out.
- **`Step` runs at 60 per second.** The old one read `Stepped`'s first argument (the game time) as the frame time, so it could run many extra steps per frame.
- **A timed-out Init or Start keeps running.** The old one cancelled it.
- Start errors are always reported (the old one only reported them with `Verbose`).
