Addons
Hephaestus supports a growing ecosystem of official addons that extend the core with optional, specialized systems.
Addons are designed to integrate seamlessly with Hephaestus, sharing the same data model, permissions philosophy, and network-first behavior.
Addons are not required to run Hephaestus, but can be installed to add functionality without bloating the core.

Addon Philosophy
All official Hephaestus addons follow the same principles:
- Optional – install only what your network needs
- Integrated – uses Hephaestus ranks, permissions, and profiles
- Network-aware – consistent behavior across servers
- Maintainable – no duplicated systems or data fragmentation
Coming Soon
Additional addons may be introduced in the future to cover areas such as: - Economy integrations - Advanced moderation tools - Gameplay utilities - Network automation
Addons will always remain modular and non-intrusive to the core.
If you are interested in developing an addon or integrating a third-party system with Hephaestus, refer to the developer documentation once available.
