Installation

Requirements and installation

Requirements

• Godot 4.7 stable is the current compatibility target for new projects. Godot 4.6.3 remains supported for existing 4.6.x projects.
• A Godot project. First-time users should start in a clean test project before using Dreamcatcher inside an existing project.
• The addons/dreamcatcher/ folder from the Dreamcatcher release.
• No third-party Godot add-on is required by the plugin files themselves.
• Exporting still requires the normal Godot export templates and platform-specific requirements.

Install Dreamcatcher

1. Create or open a Godot 4.7 stable project. Godot 4.6.3 is also supported.
2. Copy the plugin folder into your project so the path is exactly:

Copyyour_project/
├── addons/
│  └── dreamcatcher/
│    ├── plugin.cfg
│    └── plugin.gd
├── project.godot
└── ...

3. Open the project in Godot.
4. Go to Project → Project Settings → Plugins.
5. Enable Dreamcatcher.
6. Restart Godot if panels do not appear immediately.

Common mistake: double nesting. This is wrong:

Copyaddons/dreamcatcher/dreamcatcher/plugin.cfg

Correct path:

Copyaddons/dreamcatcher/plugin.cfg
