Why HD Admin
HD Admin provides your game with hundreds of commands, a flexible role system to manage permissions of players and staff, moderation tools to keep your experience safe, monetisation to help you easily earn, 20+ free themes, and a reactive panel for running UI-based commands and managing everything in-game. It's free, and the source code is available on GitHub.
Actively developed since 2016¶
We've been regularly updating HD Admin for a decade now, making it one of the longest standing projects on Roblox.
Work on v2 began in 2020 after the success of v1. It has taken over four years of full-time development and countless talented developers to get it to release:
| Year | What happened |
|---|---|
| 2016 | Ben starts work on an admin panel for his "HD Minigames" |
| 2017 | After repeated requests from friends, "HD Admin" is born and released to the Roblox Creator Store |
| 2019 | The idea for a ground-up rebuild forms at RDC 2019 |
| 2020-2023 | v2 development begins, growing into three years of full-time work. Development is paused in 2023 for financial constraints |
| 2020-2025 | Consistent updates to v1, including feature improvements, bug fixes and security patches, alongside repeated advocacy to make Roblox's Creator Store ecosystem fairer for creators |
| 2025 | Six months spent modernising v1, which is adopted by some of Roblox's largest games like "Steal a Brainrot". That income funds the finishing of v2 and its web dashboard over the following 15 months |
| 2026 | v2 Beta releases August |
| 2027 | Dashboard launches early 2027. You can join the waitlist to be the first to try it out |
You earn from it¶
You can easily connect gamepasses, accessories, bundles, groups and more to roles and commands for other players to unlock. There's minimal setup and everything can be configured in-game. Our top creators earn over $250,000 USD a year with HD Admin. See Monetisation for more info.
Built for the largest games¶
HD Admin now scales past 100,000 live servers thanks to improvements made after our partnership with do_small. For example, giving a permanent role or ban to a player, or running a global command will now reach every live server in seconds. Cross-Server covers how it works.
