Decky Plugins Extended

Get newer versions of Decky plugins without waiting for them to reach the official Decky store.

Decky Plugins Extended checks the original GitHub pages for plugins in the official store. When a plugin author publishes a newer version, this store can offer it before the official store does. It also includes selected plugins that are not in the official store at all.

What this store gives you

• Newer plugin versions. Update sooner when a plugin author has released a version that the official store does not have yet.
• More plugins. Browse selected plugins that are not available in the official store.
• The familiar Decky store. Everything appears in the normal Decky store screen. The newest version is shown first.
• Checks before publishing. Versions added by this project are scanned for common security problems. No automated scan can guarantee that a plugin is safe, so install only plugins you trust.

Add the store to Decky Loader

1. Open the Quick Access Menu on your Steam Deck.

2. Select the Decky Loader plug icon.

3. Open Settings with the gear icon.

4. Open the General tab.

5. Set Store Channel to Custom.

6. Set Custom Store to:

   https://decky-extended-plugins.beallio.com/plugins.json
   

7. Return to the Decky Store with the shopping bag icon.

The store will now show the extended plugin list.

How to spot a newer version

When this store has a newer version than the official store, the plugin description starts with a note like this:

Official store has 0.9.0; this store has 0.15.0.

Open the version menu to choose the release you want. The newest release is first.

If both stores have the same version, Decky Plugins Extended uses the official store's file. It only provides its own file when that version is not available from the official store.

Browser catalog and Decky URLs

Open the browser catalog to browse plugins, their source, and their audit status. It opens on Stable, which is recommended for normal use. Select Testing only when you want prereleases.

Decky Loader continues to use these JSON endpoints as its custom-store install contract:

• Stable plugins
• Testing plugins

The decky-plugins-extended.pages.dev addresses serve the same plugin lists. Plugin update notices also work in Decky Loader 3.3 and later, which checks for updates in a new way; you do not need to change the store address.

Catalog backups

The generation workflow also publishes the catalog files to GitHub:

• Stable catalog backup
• Testing catalog backup

The backup is updated after successful generation, including scheduled runs every six hours. If a build or deployment fails, the last successful backup stays available.

These are downloadable file backups, not supported replacement Custom Store addresses for Decky Loader. They do not include the plugin ZIP files, the browser catalog, or live install counts. Continue to use the store addresses above in Decky.

The Rust fork of Decky Loader, from v3.3.0-rust.1-rc.4, can also use these backup addresses as a Custom Store if the main store is down. They show no install counts, and the store's sort options have no effect there.
