Managing Extensions

Managing Extensions

Everything game-specific is built as an extension on top of the core. Manage them from Admin → Extensions.

Installing an extension

From disk — place the extension folder under extensions/{vendor}/{name}/, then click Sync from disk. It appears in the list, disabled.

From a ZIP — click Import, choose the .zip, review the preview (version, permissions, routes, migrations) and confirm. If the same extension is already installed, the import becomes an update.

Enabling & disabling

• Enable — runs the extension's migrations and seeder, publishes its assets, and activates its routes, navigation and widgets. Version and dependency requirements are checked first; if they aren't met, enabling is blocked with a clear message.
• Disable — stops loading the extension. Its data stays in the database.

Updating

Import a newer ZIP of an installed extension. Files are replaced and any new migrations run automatically. Downgrades are rejected.

Uninstalling

On the extension's detail page, click Uninstall. You choose whether to also drop its data:

• Delete data — rolls back its migrations (drops its tables) and removes its settings and files.
• Keep data — removes files but preserves the database, so a future reinstall keeps existing content.

Building your own

See BUILDING_EXTENSIONS.md for the full SDK. Quick start:
