Your Projects List

The sidebar, finding a project again, and the defaults every new project starts with.

The sidebar

Since the 20 August redesign the page is organised by a sidebar rather than tabs, each entry with its count:

Under those sits Tools: the tools you have pinned — Bots (every Discord bot you have across all projects, with what it is doing right now) and Minecraft Plugin are pinned from the start, and you can pin up to five — and one Search tools row.

Select and Trash are no longer sidebar rows. Both live in the ⋯ menu beside the New button at the top of the page, together with Default settings, Import from GitHub and — in the Web App Studio only — Start from a template. You can also start selecting by hovering a card and ticking the box that appears in its corner. Community sits in the bottom block of the sidebar, with Skills and Help & Wiki.

A card-size toggle — two icons beside the sort control — switches the grid between big cards and small rows.

In the Web App Studio — and only there — a Templates row also appears in the sidebar; it opens the same shelf as the menu entry. Neither is offered under Plugins or the Game Studio, because the shelf only holds web apps.

The Ctrl K tool palette

That Search tools row opens a search dialog over the page, and Ctrl K (Cmd K on a Mac) opens the same dialog from anywhere on the Projects page without reaching for the mouse. Its box reads Search tools, projects, pages…, and that is exactly what it holds — three groups, in this order:

When nothing matches you get one line — Nothing matches that. — rather than an empty box. The strip along the bottom is the whole keyboard: ↑↓ move · Enter open · ★ pin to sidebar (max 5) · Esc close.

Pinning, unpinning, and the limit of five

Every tool row in the palette has a star on its right. Press the star and that tool is pinned into the Tools block of the sidebar; the row then shows the word pinned in place of the star, and pressing that word again unpins it.

Pressing a star does not open the tool and does not close the dialog — that is deliberate, so you can pin two or three in one go and then press Esc.

You can pin five tools. Star a sixth and nothing is pinned; you are told "You can pin up to 5 tools — unstar one first."

There are two ways to unpin: the pinned button inside the palette, or — in the sidebar itself — hover the pinned row and press the small star that appears at its right edge. Pinning never reorders anything: pinned rows keep the order the palette lists them in, Bots first.

Your pins are stored in this browser, so a different computer or a different browser starts from the standard three.

Where the old search box, the NEW badge and "★ Favorites" went

Before 3 September 2026 the Tools block itself carried a search box, a NEW badge on recent tools, a ★ Favorites sub-heading over the pinned rows and an italic hint line underneath. All four were folded into this one dialog so the sidebar reads as plain names instead of a column of yellow stars.

Nothing was taken away: the search box is the palette's own box, the NEW badge and the favourites live on the tool rows inside it, and the ★ Favorites heading is gone because the pinned tools now sit at the top of the Tools block with no heading of their own.

New project on All Your Projects

On the All Your Projects page — the one with no tool of its own — pressing New Project first asks What do you want to build? and lists the tools: Minecraft Plugin, Web App, Discord Bot, Game and the rest. Pick one and press Continue (Enter works too) and the normal wizard for that tool opens. The tool you used last time is pre-selected, so a repeat is two clicks. On a tool's own page — say the Web App Studio — that step is skipped, because the page already knows.

Shared does not mean "shared with me". If somebody invited you to a project, it will not be here — or anywhere else; see Working on a Project With Someone Else for why.

Finding one again

Under the page title you can see how many projects you have and when one was last updated. Above the grid is a sort control — one dropdown showing the current choice — with four options: Recent, Created, Name and Favorites. Star the two or three projects you actually work on and Favorites saves you the search every time.

Each card can also be renamed and duplicated from its own menu. The list shows 20 projects per page, so if an old project has vanished it is probably on page two rather than deleted.

What a project card tells you

Beyond the name and the icon, each card carries two things worth reading:

Doing several at once

Select more than one project — pick Select projects… from the ⋯ menu beside New, or tick a card — and three things become possible: Bridge them (a new plugin that wires them together — see The Smaller IDE Tools), Favorite them all in one go, or delete them together. Deleting in bulk asks you to type a phrase first, and more than five at a time asks for a longer one. Press Done in the row above the cards when you are finished selecting.

The second projects list, inside the editor

There is another one you may never have opened. With a project open in the Code Studio, the projects drawer in the toolbar lists everything you have without leaving the editor — so you can jump between projects without going back to this page.

It does more than this page does. It has its own search and sorting (by name, by when it was created, by when it was last touched), and it can rename, duplicate, import and export a project. It is a desktop feature: on a phone or a narrow window the drawer is not shown.

Tags — the drawer's own filing system

Inside that drawer each project can carry tags, and you can filter the list down to one tag. Eight are ready to use — Commands, Events, GUI, Economy, Permissions, World, Combat and Utilities — and any tag already on a project shows up in the filter alongside them.

This is the only place tags exist, which is why the search box on this page mentions them and nothing else here does.

Default Settings

Default settings, in the ⋯ menu beside New, sets what every new project starts with, so you stop re-picking the same things. Four tabs:

A project can still override any of it in its own Project Settings.

Filling in Default settings once is the single biggest time-saver on this page — most of what the wizard asks you every time is already answered by it.
