-------
Some of Blender's functionality is best kept optional,
alongside scripts loaded at startup there are add-ons which are kept in their own directory ``scripts/addons``,
They are only loaded on startup if selected from the user preferences.
alongside scripts loaded at startup there are add-ons which are only loaded on startup
if enabled from the user preferences. Add-ons are typically distributed as extensions.
The only difference between add-ons and built-in Python modules is that add-ons must contain a ``bl_info`` variable
which Blender uses to read metadata such as name, author, category and project link.
The User Preferences add-on listing uses ``bl_info`` to display information about each add-on.
`See Add-ons <https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/addons/guidelines/>`__
for details on the ``bl_info`` dictionary.
The only difference between add-on extensions and built-in Python modules is that add-ons must include a
``blender_manifest.toml`` which Blender uses to read metadata such as name, author, tags and project link.
The User Preferences add-on listing uses this to display information about each add-on.
See :ref:`Creating Extensions <blender_manual:extensions-index>` for details.
