Overview

The Custom Plugin SDK enables developers to create a custom Quantum server, test it locally and upload to an Photon Enterprise Cloud.

Creating a Photon Enterprise Cloud involves additional costs. Please contact us for more information and for the Plugin SDK download permissions.

Common features of a custom Quantum plugin include:

• Running the simulation on the Photon server cloud for trusted game results
• Sending server snapshots to late-joining or reconnecting clients

Testing a local Photon Server is only supported on Windows.
