## Introduction
**Blueprint** is an open-source extension framework/manager for Pterodactyl. Developers can create versatile, easy-to-install extensions that system administrators can install within minutes *(usually even seconds!)* without having to custom-code compatibility across multiple panel modifications.
We aim to introduce new developers to Blueprint with easy to understand guides, documentation, developer commands, community support and more.
