# Package Categories

Package storage is a repository for storing packages created by individuals, groups, and MapleStory Worlds. Packages are divided into two types.

  * My Packages: If it is an individual-created world, only packages created by the individual are visible. If it is a group-created world, only packages created by the group are visible.
  * MSW Packages: These are official packages provided by MapleStory Worlds. You can download these packages and freely modify their contents to suit your world. Official packages will be added continuously.

# Core Version

Core version refers to the version of MapleStory World Maker. When you save a package, the core version is saved with it. You can check the core version in Edit - Preferences - Create - Version. If the core version of the package and the core version of the world you are creating are not the same, the Maker may not work properly.

  1. Select Panels - Package Storage.
  2. Press the [+] button to open the Package Uploader.
  3. Select the entries you want to include in the package, and write a name and description. !
  4. Enter the package version. Whenever you modify the contents of a package, change the version so that the package recognizes that it has been modified.



# Installing a Package

# Updating a Package

Updating is the ability to import a modified package into your world. If the contents of a downloaded package have changed, you can use Update to import the modified contents. You can only select and update entries in the world that differ from the contents of the package. [png](1761566355082f5d996c6d87e4334895c2b3880ac1993)

# Upgrade a package

You can use Upgrade when you want to modify a package that you have added to your package storage. When you upgrade a package, it is recommended that you modify the package version as well. If you started with version 1.0, you may want to label it as version 1.1, 2.0, etc. so that other users are aware that the contents of the package have changed.

  1. Select the package you want to upgrade in Package Storage, and select Context Menu - Upgrade Package. [png](17615660365688a967a6de44f48edaa10038960ef6ff4)

# Uninstalling a Package

If you no longer need a package, you can utilize a package in Package Storage to delete the entries contained in the package at once. Once deleted, the package cannot be restored.

  1. Click the Edit Screen ! window button on the thumbnail of the package to be deleted.
  2. Click the Uninstall button.
