Roblox doesn’t have a built-in asset browser like many other game engines do, which is why I decided to make my own. This isn’t my first time creating a plugin with a similar concept but I felt like I could do better. Here we are now with yet another version of the concept better than ever.
Introducing the Asset Browser plugin:
Simply put: The plugin allows you to quickly and effortlessly manage your game’s assets and allows you to create multiple libraries of said assets. This speeds up development in many areas and can really help developers organize their game’s assets.
Here is a quick look into what it looks like and what it can do:

(Assets used in the examples are not mine)
The one thing I really wanted to improve was the navigation through the interface as well as the general intuitivity. So here’s a quick preview of the navigation features:

Then there are of course the asset features. These include the quick drag & drop insert and everything inside the RMB action menu.
There are also some additional settings you can toggle on or off which alter the way some of the functions work. Here’s what they are:
These change wether or not your assets scale/resize automatically when replaced. Auto Size only works if the replacement is a BasePart.
The plugin supports every type of instance. However, only some have dedicated functions and icons. You can even insert scripts inside other scripts. Here’s how that looks:

To add a new library you must select a folder inside the explorer and then click “Add Library”. This will then create a new quick access library into the browser. Same goes for adding new assets into said libraries. Simply select any instance from the explorer and press the plus icon in the browser:
And that’s mostly it. If you’re interested then please give it a shot and let me know what you think. And if you do happen to run into bugs/issues or just want to give feedback then please leave a comment, I’ll be sure to read them all. Thank you! : )
