How to Install GDSense in Godot 4.7

Check the project and account first

Install GDSense separately in each Godot project where you want to use it. The distributable contains the addons/gdsense directory that Godot recognizes as an editor plugin.

• Open the target project in Godot 4.7.
• Use an account with Free access or an active Starter, Pro, or Ultra subscription.
• Save or commit current project work before adding any editor plugin.

Download the current plugin ZIP

1. 1

   Open Download Plugin

   Sign in at gdsense.com and open Download Plugin from the dashboard navigation.

2. 2

   Generate the one-time link

   Choose Generate Download Link. The displayed link expires after five minutes and can be used once.

3. 3

   Download the ZIP

   Use the Download button while the link is active. Generate another link if the first one expires before use.

Put the plugin in the correct folder

Extract the ZIP into the Godot project directory. The important check is the final resource path, not the name of the folder where your browser saved the archive.

1. 1

   Find or create addons

   At the project root—the folder containing project.godot—find or create addons/.

   res://addons/
2. 2

   Copy the GDSense directory

   Place the extracted gdsense directory directly inside addons. Avoid an extra ZIP-name directory between addons and gdsense.

   res://addons/gdsense/
3. 3

   Verify the plugin manifest

   Confirm that Godot can see plugin.cfg at this exact path before trying to enable the plugin.

   res://addons/gdsense/plugin.cfg

Keep in mind: If the path is res://addons/some-zip-folder/addons/gdsense, move the inner gdsense folder up to res://addons/gdsense.
