Third-Party Plugins

This page is intended for plugin developers to use to make their plugins more visible to users. We do not provide hosting for plugins, as we simply do not have the resources to do so. We do, however, encourage anyone hosting their own plugins to add a row to the table below!

Note that we do not support any of these plugins. If you have problems with the plugins, you need to contact the plugin's developer using any resources available on the plugin's website. Any and all tickets citing bugs in third-party plugins will be closed as invalid, as we do not develop or support these plugins. You have been warned.

So, all that said, here is the table of plugins:

Plugin Name	Website	Short Description
Guifications	​Go	Provides "toaster" popup notifications.
Purple Plugin Pack	​Go	Provides over 30 plugins for Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
Extended Preferences	​Go	Provides some additional, often-requested preferences for Pidgin.

Protocol Plugins

Protocol Name	Website	Source	Binaries	Last Build
Netsoul	​Go	Yes	Win32	2.0beta6
XFire	​Go	Yes	Yes	2.0beta3
Battle.net	​Go	Yes	Win32	1.1.x
SNPP	​Go	Yes	Win32	1.x.x
SIP-e (MS Communicator)	​Go	Yes	No	2.0.x

Note that additional plugins are still hosted on our old ​Sourceforge Tracker. Some of these plugins may be updated to work with Pidgin, and some still may be for older versions.
