Step-by-step checks when the Eclipse Animator plugin does not appear in Roblox Studio.
Quick answer
Confirm the plugin is installed from a verified Creator Store source, restart Studio, check that plugins are enabled for the place, and verify you are signed into the correct Roblox account that owns or has access to the plugin.
Symptoms
Plugin missing from the Plugins tab
Plugin installed but toolbar icon absent
Plugin appears for some places but not others
Step-by-step checks
1. Confirm installation source
General troubleshooting advice
Open the Roblox Creator Store / Toolbox plugin page for Eclipse Animator from a verified listing. Do not install copies from unknown third-party downloads.
Expected: You can see the plugin listed under your installed plugins.
2. Restart Roblox Studio
General troubleshooting advice
Fully quit Studio (not only close the place) and reopen. Plugin toolbars often refresh only after a full restart.
Expected: Plugins tab reloads; the plugin icon may appear.
3. Check Plugins tab and manage plugins
General troubleshooting advice
Open the Plugins tab and use Manage Plugins (or equivalent Studio UI) to confirm Eclipse Animator is enabled.
Expected: The plugin is enabled, not disabled by Studio.
4. Verify account and place permissions
General troubleshooting advice
Some plugins only show when you are logged into the account that purchased or installed them, or when team permissions allow plugins.
Expected: You are on the correct account with plugin permissions for the place.
5. Test in a new blank Baseplate
General troubleshooting advice
Create a new place. If the plugin appears there but not in your project, the issue is place-specific (team settings, restricted plugins, or corrupted place state).
Expected: You can isolate whether the issue is global or place-specific.
Limitations
UI labels differ across Studio versions — match steps to your Studio build.
We do not redistribute the plugin. Use official/verified storefronts only.
Community “plugin missing” reports are not treated as a confirmed current bug.
