To export a custom package in Unity, you can follow these steps:
- Select the assets you want to include in your package. This could include scripts, prefabs, materials, textures, or any other asset type.
- Create a new folder for your package. This folder will contain all the assets you want to include.
- Create a
package.json
file in the package folder. This file defines the metadata for your package, including its name, version, and dependencies. - Add a
package.manifest
file to the package folder. This file specifies the assets that are included in the package. - Use the
Assets > Export Package
menu option to export your package. This will create a.unitypackage
file that you can share with others.
Example package.json
File:
{
"name": "MyCustomPackage",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "A custom package with useful assets",
"author": "Your Name",
"unity": "2022.1.0 or higher",
"dependencies": {}
}
Example package.manifest
File:
MyCustomScript.cs
MyCustomPrefab.prefab
MyCustomMaterial.mat
MyCustomTexture.png
Practical Insights:

- Include documentation: Provide clear documentation within the package for users to understand how to use your assets.
- Test your package: Thoroughly test your package before sharing it to ensure it works as expected.
- Use a version control system: Use a version control system like Git to track changes and collaborate on your package development.
