# MonoGame.Extended
MonoGame.Extended is a set of utilities (in the form of libraries/tools) to [MonoGame](http://www.monogame.net/) that makes it easier to make games. Choose what you want, the rest stays out of your way. It makes MonoGame more awesome.

## Getting started
Code is distributed as NuGet packages in the form of libraries (`.dll` files). You can easily install the NuGet packages into your existing MonoGame project using the NuGet Package Manager UI in Visual Studio or by using the command line interface (CLI) in a terminal.
**Current Stable Release**
> [!WARNING]
> The current stable release is not compatible with MonoGame 3.8.1.303.
```sh
dotnet add package MonoGame.Extended --version 3.8.0
```
**Current Prerelease**
> [!NOTE]
> Prerelease is based on current `develop` branch snapshot. There it is not considered stable and may contain bugs
```sh
dotnet add package MonoGame.Extended --version 3.9.0-prerelease.4
dotnet add package MonoGame.Extended --version 4.0.0
```
### Using the Content Pipeline Extensions
To use the content pipeline extensions, you will need to edit your `.mgcb` file to reference the `.dll`. To see an example of how to do this with NuGet see the samples at https://github.com/craftworkgames/MonoGame.Extended-samples. The important pieces are the `NuGet.config` file and the `.mgcb` file.
To use the content pipeline extension, please refer to the [Setup MGCB Edtior](https://www.monogameextended.net/docs/getting-started/installation-monogame/#optional-setup-mgcb-editor) documentation.
