Plugins Disappearing

I’m trying to make a Roblox game using stud textures and I used the plugin Resurface this whole time, but now it’s gone?? Like half of my plugins exist and are installed but they dont show up even if i make a new tab and add them

This is eventually caused by Roblox Studio failing to load plugins properly rather than the plugins being deleted.

Could you try these things?

  1. Restart Roblox Studio

Studio sometimes fails to load plugins on startup. Restart can them let them appear again.

  1. Check the Plugins tab and go to Manage Plugins

Make sure the missing plugins are still installed and enabled. If your studio updated, it could be disappeared.

  1. Sign out and back into Studio

Plugin loading is tied to your account. Logging out and back in can refresh your plugin list.

  1. Reinstall the missing plugins

If they appear installed but do not show up, uninstall and reinstall them from the Creator Marketplace.

  1. Clear Studio cache

Close Studio and delete the cache folders inside:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Roblox
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Roblox Studio
6. Check Output window for plugin errors

Sometimes plugins fail to load due to script errors or conflicts with other plugins.

  1. Make sure Plugins are enabled in Safe Mode

If Studio started in safe mode, some plugins may be disabled.

If multiple plugins disappeared at the same time, it is usually a Studio loading or cache issue rather than the plugins being removed.
