Why we like it

Earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a focused import/export bridge for Bugsnax cache files, with documented round-trip fidelity for static caches.

What is Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter is a Blender add-on from SaintBaron for reading and writing Bugsnax cache files. It adds dedicated entries to Blender's File menu, letting you import a cache into a scene and export it back out. Three formats are covered: .objcache, .daecache and .xcache, each with its own Import and Export option.

For static caches, importing and then exporting produces a structurally identical file. Vertex counts, face counts, texture references, AABB, and the daecache extent all round-trip exactly. Byte-level equality isn't guaranteed, since small metadata bytes are regenerated rather than carried over verbatim, but the engine reads the result identically.

The add-on works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and can be added by dragging it into Blender or installing it from disk. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with the project hosted on the developer's GitHub page. The current version is 1.0.1.

Who is Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter best for?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter is best for blender users who need to import Bugsnax cache files into a scene and export them back out across the .objcache, .daecache and .xcache formats.

How much does Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter cost?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter is completely free to download and use.

Key features

  • Imports Bugsnax cache files in .objcache, .daecache and .xcache formats through File → Import
  • Exports to the same three cache formats through File → Export
  • Round-trips static caches so vertex counts, face counts, texture references, AABB and the daecache extent are preserved exactly
  • Regenerates small metadata bytes rather than carrying them verbatim, so the result is not byte-identical but is read identically by the engine
  • Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later

Frequently asked questions

Does Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter work with Blender 4.2?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so any release from that version onward should run it. You can add it by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading the package and installing it from disk through Blender's extension preferences. The current version is 1.0.1, last updated on 2 June 2026. If you're on a Blender build older than 4.2, you'd need to update before the add-on will load.

Which file formats can Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter read and write?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter handles three cache formats: .objcache, .daecache and .xcache. Each one has its own entry under File → Import and File → Export, so you can bring a cache file into Blender and write it back out in the same format. The import options appear as Bugsnax Cache with the relevant extension, and matching export options cover the same three types. This makes moving any of the supported Bugsnax cache files in and out of a Blender scene straightforward.

Are exported static caches identical to the originals?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter produces a structurally identical file when you import a static cache and then export it. Vertex counts, face counts, texture references, AABB, and the daecache extent all round-trip exactly. Byte-level equality isn't guaranteed, because small metadata bytes are regenerated rather than carried over verbatim, but the engine reads the result identically. So while the file may differ at the byte level, its structure and the data that matters are preserved through the round trip.

What license is Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter released under?

Bugsnax Cache Importer/Exporter is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it's listed as free here in the catalog. That license means the source is open and can be studied or modified in line with GPL terms, and the project is available on the developer's GitHub page. For the latest licensing details and any updates, check the developer's page directly before relying on specific terms.
