Why we like it

Addon Collections Manager stands out in the superhive library for turning Blender addon management into named groups you can toggle in one click, with quick access from Preferences and a fully offline design.

What is Addon Collections Manager?

Addon Collections Manager helps Blender users organize installed addons into custom collections and switch between them without managing each addon by hand. You can create unlimited collections, save different workflow setups, and enable or disable an entire addon group instantly.

Collections are built from Blender's Preferences: select the addons you want, enter a collection name, and create the group in one click. You can add more addons to an existing collection anytime and rename collections whenever your setup changes. A shortcut button sits directly below the toolbar for quick access. The add-on is described as lightweight and optimized, with a beginner-friendly interface.

It runs entirely offline, with no data collection, no tracking, and no internet access. Addon Collections Manager is compatible with Blender 4.2 through 5.1, works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines, and is released under the GPL license. Installation follows the standard route: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install, then select the ZIP file.

Frequently asked questions

Does Addon Collections Manager work with Blender 4.2 and newer?

Addon Collections Manager is compatible with Blender 4.2 through 5.1, so it covers version 4.2 and the newer releases in that range. It is listed as a Blender Extension-compatible add-on and works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you are on an older Blender build than 4.2, this add-on will not support it, so check your Blender version before installing. For the most current compatibility details, the developer's page is the place to confirm which releases are supported.

How do I install Addon Collections Manager in Blender?

Addon Collections Manager installs through Blender's standard add-on process. Open Edit, then Preferences, go to the Add-ons section, choose Install, and select the downloaded ZIP file. Once enabled, the add-on places a shortcut button directly below the toolbar for quick access to your collections. From there you can select addons, enter a collection name, and create a group in one click. If you run into trouble during setup, the developer's page is the best source for further guidance.

Does Addon Collections Manager collect data or need an internet connection?

Addon Collections Manager runs entirely offline. It performs no data collection, includes no tracking, and requires no internet access, so it operates fully on your local machine while managing your addon collections. That keeps it self-contained for organizing and switching Blender addon groups without any network connection. If you have specific questions about how the add-on handles your setup, the developer's page is the place to look for more detail.

Is Addon Collections Manager free to use?

Addon Collections Manager is listed as free here in our catalog. Licensing and any current offers can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm the latest terms before you download. The add-on is released under the GPL license, which governs how it can be used and modified. For questions about pricing or licensing specifics, check the developer's page directly for the most up-to-date information.
