[Release] IndiaHV’s Unreal Masterplugin — fix version-mismatch plugins in minutes

Link: IndiaHV`s Unreal Master Plugin Updater

Why I built this

Many of us buy great marketplace plugins, but sometimes the author doesn’t update for a specific Unreal Engine version when our project needs it. That stalls upgrades, CI/CD, and team onboarding. I kept hitting this pain point, so I built a small, simple to use, focused, free tool to unblock the pipeline.

What it does

IndiaHV’s Unreal Masterplugin updates a plugin’s engine/version so you can use it with a different UE version — including downgrading when you need to open older projects.

  • Pick your plugin folder.

  • Choose the Unreal Engine target version (e.g., 5.0 → 5.6).

  • Click Start. The tool patches version fields across the files and then packages the folder to a ZIP for you to drop back into your project.

Processing is local in your browser — files are not uploaded.
The source plugin remains unchanged; the tool outputs a new ZIP.

How it improves your workflow

  • Unblocks upgrades/downgrades: Move projects forward (or back) without waiting on third-party updates.

  • Repeatable and quick: No manual file hunting, no text-editor guesswork.

  • Safer handoff: Output ZIP is ready to share with teammates or stash in your build artifacts.

  • Free: This is a community tool to keep your pipeline moving.

Important notes

  • This tool does not magically fix API breaks. If a plugin contains broken APIs then those plugins will get a harder time being fixed, you may still need code edits or a rebuild.

  • Always back up your original plugin before testing the converted package.

Roadmap (I’ll keep improving it)

  • Batch mode (convert multiple plugins in one run)

  • Diff/summary of changed files

  • Optional excludes (Binaries/Intermediate/.git, etc.)

  • “Strict” and “relaxed” patch profiles per plugin type

I’d love your feedback

Please try it and tell me what would make it more useful in your studio:

  • What edge cases did you hit?

  • Which file types or version fields should I add?

  • Would per-plugin rules or presets help your team?
