Guidelines for add-on creators 🔗

Thank you for choosing BlenderKit to sell and share your add-ons!

All add-ons go through validation before becoming public. To ensure your add-on is successfully validated, please follow these guidelines:

Code quality 🔗

  • We only accept free and one-time paid Blender add-ons in the Blender extensions format.
  • Add-ons must include and comply with the latest Blender Extension Manifest specification.
  • All code and file inclusions must strictly comply with their respective licenses. Any licensing breach is grounds for immediate add-on removal.
  • Do not obfuscate the code or upload it as binaries, since these cannot be reviewed by us and thus cannot be offered to our users via the extensions API.
  • Add-ons with major bugs will not be accepted unless the creator fixes the issues. Please, test your add-on before uploading!
  • Add-ons must be fully functional with the Blender versions mentioned in the add-on description. We strongly recommend uploading add-ons compatible with the latest Blender version and the latest LTS version.
  • Do not add maximum blender version to your manifest file if you don’t need it. Your extension could unnecessarilly be blocked in new versions of Blender.

Usefullness 🔗

  • Add-ons must be capable of performing everything claimed in the add-on description and thumbnail.
  • One-asset, one-button, and other one-function add-ons will only be accepted if they are proved to be crucial for users. We only accept truly useful tools.

AI rules 🔗

While there is an ongoing discussion about how we should approach AI generally on our platform, we had to set some rules by now. These might change in the future.

  • While AI thumbnails are tolerated, we do not recommend them due to (understandable) negative reactions from our community.
  • AI generators will not be accepted to the library.

Customer communication rules 🔗

  • If an add-on requires downloading files from other sources, registration, or license(s), you must include the various requirements in the add-on description.
  • Add-ons that receive repeated user complaints will be removed from our library unless the creator fixes the issues and offers resolution to all warranty claims.
