Module libraries are projects exported to be usable by any other project. When exported as a library, all types (such as classes and modules) and resources (including images, shaders, and more) become available for import. These libraries can be added in GroIMP as plugins, allowing all their types to be used as plugin imports.

These libraries are called module lib.
