The Bricklayer plugin does not appear in Studio

No Bricklayer toolbar in the Plugins tab? Restart Studio, then reinstall the plugin from Bricklayer if needed.

Updated November 8, 2026

Bricklayer installs its Studio plugin for you during setup. You never add it from the Creator Store. If you cannot see it, it almost always means Studio has not loaded it yet.

Where to look

In Roblox Studio, open the Plugins tab at the top. The Bricklayer toolbar, with its Connect button, lives there.

Fix it

  1. Restart Studio. Save, close every Studio window, and reopen your game. Studio only loads plugins at startup, so a plugin installed while Studio was open stays invisible until then. (Ctrl+Shift+L reloads plugins without a restart.)
  2. Reinstall the plugin. In Bricklayer, open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and run Bricklayer: Install Studio Plugin. It copies the plugin into Studio's plugins folder.
  3. Restart Studio again after reinstalling.

The plugin is installed into the Roblox Studio on your computer, for your Windows account. If you use Studio on another computer, install Bricklayer there too.

Still missing?

  • Make sure you are signed in to Studio and have a place open. Some tabs stay empty on the start page.
  • Run Bricklayer: Troubleshoot (Setup & Diagnostics). Its plugin check says whether the plugin file is installed where Studio expects it.
  • If the troubleshooter says the plugin is installed but Studio still does not show it, start a help thread with a screenshot of your Plugins tab.
