That's up to the Maintainer of Pterodactyl. Pelican and Pterodactyl are separate projects. + +
+ When will the plugin system be available? + + The plugin system was released with beta30! +
+
+ Will pterodactyl addons work with the new system? + + No. Pterodactyl "addons" are just code modifications. Our codebase now greatly differs from pterodactyls. + Pelicans plugin system will be a "real" plugin system where plugins don't touch any core files. +
+
+ Will blueprint plugins work with the new system? + + No. And the creator of blueprint won't port blueprint to also support pelican: + > [I] do not have the capacity to work on multiple Pterodactyl forks [and I] do not believe making an extension framework for a platform promising it's own addon system is worth our time. +
+
+ Do I need the commercial license to use or develop plugins? + + No. Pelicans plugin system will be a "real" plugin system where plugins don't touch any core files. +
+
+ Do I need to license my plugins under the same license as pelican? + + No. You can do whatever you want with your plugins, it's your code. +
+
+ What can plugins do? + + Pretty much anything you want! They can add new pages, change existing ones (to some extend), add new languages, change the theme (color/ font/ css) and more. + + The first iteration _will_ have some limitations but we will continuously improve the capabilities of plugins. +
+
+ How are plugins installed? + + You can find information on that [here](./docs/panel/advanced/plugins#install-a-plugin). +
+
+ How do you create plugins? + + You can find detailed information on that [here](./docs/panel/advanced/plugins#create-a-plugin). +
+
+ Are the plugins from the sneak peaks available? + + Yes! Everything that was shown as little sneak peaks (+ more!) is available as plugin, for free and open source. + + You can find to official plugin repo [here](https://github.com/pelican-dev/plugins). +
