Custom Resource Previews

A Godot plugin that enables custom preview images for your resources in the editor.

Features

• Define custom preview textures for your resource instances
• Improve resource browsing and searching in the Godot editor
• Give each resource instance a distinct visual identity

Installation

1. Download the plugin to your project's addons/ directory
2. Enable the plugin in Project Settings → Plugins
3. Restart the editor if previews do not appear immediately

Usage

1. Add the @tool annotation to your custom resource script
2. Implement the _get_custom_preview_texture() method in your custom resource script:

@tool
extends Resource
class_name MyCustomResource

@export var icon: Texture2D = null

func _get_custom_preview_texture() -> Texture2D:
	return icon

The returned texture will be displayed as the preview icon in:

• FileSystem dock
• Resource picker dialogs
