Moods will be interpreted in 'writing a paragraph' and similar contexts as the mood of the person described in the paragraph, but at other times according to the mood of the person to whom the player is currently speaking.

 Conversation Package v 3  This extension includes both Conversation Nodes and Conversation Suggestions, and makes the suggestions aware of conversation nodes. It therefore includes the complete conversational system in one package. It also requires Conversation Responses, Conversational Defaults, Conversation Framework and Epistemology. The documentation for this extension give some guidance on how these other extensions can be mixed and matched.

Version 3 of Hiding Under avoids using phrases deprecated in Version 6E59 of Inform.
 Implicit Actions v 13  Provides implicit taking, opening, closing, locking and unlocking actions for a variety of cases where this makes for smoother game play. The extension also defines phrases which make it easy to define additional implicit actions if desired. Version 11 can be used with Locksmith by Emily Short (although Implicit Actions covers most of what Locksmith does, and in most cases it will be better to use Implicit Actions without Locksmith). Requires Version 5 (or above) of Text Capture by Eric Eve.
 Limited Implicit Actions v 3  A cut-down version of Implicit Actions for use where code size may be restricted and the full functionality of Implicit Actions is not needed. Requires Plurality by Emily Short and is compatible with Locksmith by Emily Short.
 List Control v 4  Provides a means of using tables as shuffled, cyclic or stop lists.

 Underside v 6/210627  Allows objects to be put under other objects. An underside usually starts out closed so that its contents are hidden from view. Requires Version 7 (or later) of Bulk Limiter; the space under objects is limited by bulk. Underside is compatible with Version 10 or later of Implicit Actions, but does not require it. Version 5 of Underside avoids features deprecated in Version 6E59 of Inform.
 Variable Time Control v 4  Allows individual actions to take a different number of seconds, or no time at all. Also allows the standard time taken per turn to be defined as so many seconds, which can be varied during the course of play
 Erik Temple  (8 extensions)
 Extended Debugging v 2/100212  Provides a way for the author to release a build of a game while retaining both custom and built-in debugging commands. Also wraps Inform's debug tracing routines in phrases that authors can use to trigger rule-tracing from the source text rather than from the command prompt and provides other debugging features.
 Glimmr Canvas Animation  v 2/160627  Provides a 'track'-based system for independent animation of graphic elements, canvases, and windows. Features animation presets, automated easing/tweening, and a detailed debugging log.
 Glimmr Canvas-Based Drawing  v 4/160626  A framework for drawing graphics of various types--from sprite images to painted text--to a Glulx graphics window. Takes an object-oriented approach, with graphic elements represented as individual objects.

 Undo Output Control v 5/170902  In addition to allowing control over UNDO default messages, provides hooks into UNDO processing, including multiple ways to suspend UNDO temporarily, to place limitations on UNDO (such as allowing only one UNDO in a row), to undo the current turn from code, and to control when the game state is saved. Using the latter, we can effectively control which turn UNDO returns us to. Also allows changing the words which invoke UNDO and OOPS. Also allows the story to edit a blank command before analyz

 Autotaking --  Implicit taking of noun or second noun that may be invoked by (or used as) a check rule.
 Effective Infinity v 1  Provides a system of counting numbers which never go below 0 or above a specified maximum value. Any numbers above the maximum are considered infinite.
 Flexible Action Requirements v 1  Overrides carrying requirements for specific actions, and provides more nuanced carrying and touchability requirements when needed.
 Objects Matching Snippets --  --
 Scope Caching v 2/120725  Gives things the 'marked visible' property, to check the visibility of something without repeating the entire scope loop each time. Works with Epistemology by Eric Eve, Conditional Backdrops by Mike Ciul, and Remembering by Aaron Reed.

 Nathanael Nerode  (16 extensions)
 Character Portraits v 1/171007  Provides a complex system for customzing the printed descriptions of characters wearing or carrying lots of stuff, similar to the room description system in Standard Rules. Requires Large Game Speedup by Nathanael Nerode.
 Compliant Characters v 4/210328  Report parsing errors to the player when ordering other characters to do things. Inform 7 normally redirects these errors to 'answer ' so that the character can respond to arbitrary statements. But in an story with compliant characters who the player orders around routinely, that is frustrating to a player who has made a typo; this helps out the player. Requires Parser Error Number Bugfix and version 4 of Neutral Standard Responses. Tested with Inform 6M62.
 Gender Options v 3/210331  More broad-minded English language gender/number model where male, female, and neuter are three separate true-false properties. Allows for objects to respond to any specified combination of HE, SHE, IT, and THEY. As fast as the Standard Rules. Tested with Inform 6M62.
 Gender Speedup v 2/210331  When using Gender Options, clean up some I6 internals with functions related to gender which are irrelevant to English or rendered obsolete with Gender Options. Since these are called in the depths of ListWriter this should slightly improve speed. Not included in Gender Options due to likely interference with other extensions. Requires Gender Options. Probably will not work with non-English languages. Tested with Inform 6M62.
 Initial Cursor at Top or Bottom v 1/170827  This small extension eliminates the three newlines printed before the banner. It also provides a tool to attempt to place the cursor at the bottom of the screen, like old Infocom games. Due to wild variance between interpreters, it is not reliable.
 Large Game Speedup v 5/210908  Performance improvements for games with large numbers of objects, by avoiding looping over all objects.
 Nathanael's Cookbook v 5/220520  This is just a collection of documentation and worked examples illustrating various features of Inform. There isn't much in the extension per se, but the examples in the documentation can be click-pasted in the Inform IDE for convenience.
 Nathanael's Debug Tools v 2/210331  Miscellaneous stuff I like to have built in when debugging and programming, but would never want to relase.
 Neutral Standard Responses v 4/210908  Replaces misleading, vague, and narratively-voiced parser messages with instructive, clarifying, and neutral versions, respectively. For Inform 6M62.
 Parser Error Number Bugfix v 1  Fixes a nasty bug in the I7 error names in Inform 7 version 6M62 (and probably earlier).
 Room Description Supporter Bugfixes v 1/210315  Fixes some issues in Standard Rules related to printing room descriptions with enterable supporters. Experimental.
 Standard Rules Dead Code Removal v 1  Reduce the size of games using Room Description Control by removing unused Standard Rules material.
 Tab Removal v 1/210314  For commands with tabs in them, replaces tabs with spaces before passing them on to the game.
 Title Case for Headings v 1/170902  Applies title case to room names printed as a heading or in the status line. Creates the printing a heading activity for further customization. Tested with Inform 6M62. Requires Undo Output Control by Erik Temple or by Nathanael Nerode to handle the case of room name printing after UNDO.
 Undo Output Control v 5/170902  Provides hooks into UNDO processing, including multiple ways to suspend UNDO temporarily, to place limitations on UNDO (such as allowing only one UNDO in a row), to undo the current turn from code, and to control when the game state is saved. Using the latter, we can effectively control which turn UNDO returns us to. Also allows changing the words which invoke UNDO and OOPS, and allows the story to edit a blank command before analyzing it. Updated to Inform 6M62.
 Verb Stripping v 1/171007  Removes a number of verbs from the standard rules; verbs which might cause confusion in a game whose theme is not adventure.
 Peter Orme  (7 extensions)
 Checkpoints v 1/150130  A method of using assertions stored in a table to verify your game works as expected.
 Developer Framework v 1/150130  Common definitions useful for Inform7 authors and extension developers.

 Can't Go That Way v 1/230318  --
 Ron Newcomb  (10 extensions)
 After Not Doing Something v 2  Allows us to write rules that happen after an action fails, such as 'After not examining or searching something'
 Command Prompt on Cue v 3/140513  Creates a situation without a command prompt where the player may simply press space or enter to WAIT. But if the player instead begins to type a command, the command prompt will then appear.
 Editable Stored Actions v 10  This extension extends section 12.20 of Writing With Inform. The individual parts of a stored action -- actor, noun, second noun, action name -- can be changed directly. Also exposes new parts: request, text, participle, preposition, number, and each kind of value.
 Permission to Visit v 7  In lieu of compass directions, we may VISIT, ATTEND, GO TO, and FIND various people, events, places, and things. Characters may INVITE, PERMIT, and FORBID each other to or from their respective domains.
 Phrases for Adaptive Pacing --  We may ask the time when (a description of scenes) began/ended; the number of turns since (a description of scenes) began/ended; if (a future event) is soon; the time/turns until (a future event); the time/turns when (a future event). We may also un-schedule a future event with 'never shall'; begin or end a scene on an event; say a time 'as a time period'; repeat through future events; and change the turns-to-minutes ratio with 'per'.
 Phrases for Tables with Topics v 3  This grants five new phrases regarding the player's command, the matched text, and the topic understood: if one is a topic listed in a table, if one includes or matches a topic listed in a table, what corresponds to one within a table, and the last phrase corrects a bug so the topic understood may be used within an understand-as-mistake line.
 Real Date and Time  v 2  Allows the author to get the real-world time and date from the player's computer.
 Rewrite the Command Line  v 2/110202  Allows us to erase then rewrite the commands our player types in.
 Scope Control v 2  Allows us to ask why the Deciding the Scope For Something activity is running, so we can modify the scope only when we absolutely need to. Highly useful for giving NPCs commands over telephones or while in darkness, creating 'can hear' relations, or modifying how Inform parses the command line.
 Unsuccessful PC Attempt v 2  Will run the Unsuccessful Attempt By rules for all characters, including the player. Also silences the library messages printed by the built-in Check rules.
 Sarah Morayati  (1 extension)
 Basic Real Time  v 2/140513  Allows the author to incorporate Glulx real time events into an Inform 7 project.

 Footnotes v 2  Provides a framework for organizing and displaying footnotes in a game. Version 2 makes Footnotes responsive and 6L38-compatible.
 Taryn Michelle  (1 extension)
 Print Stage Detection v 1  'Printing the name' rules make TWO passes over the same object when Inform needs to determine the appropriate article to print. This is a non-issue for many rules, but 'printing the name' rules with side effects may need to know which stage is currently being processed (article-choosing or name-printing), so that they can avoid double-execution of any side effects.
 Wade Clarke  (2 extensions)
 Basic Help Menu v 4  Adds a HELP command to your Glulx or Z-Code project for Inform 6M62 or later which brings up a menu giving some standard instructions about IF. This is a tech and content update of Emily Short's Basic Help Menu extension made for compatibility with Wade Clarke's Menus. Requires Menus by Wade Clarke (version 5 or greater) to run.
 Menus v 5  Lets you include a menu system of help, hints and/or other information in your Glulx or Z-Code project for Inform 6M62 or later. This upgrade of Emily Short's classic Menus extension features user-friendly single keypress controls, a more sophisticated UI, compatibility with screen readers and portable devices, an optional book mode with automatic pagination, and isolated message content to make translations easier. Classic Menus tables can be reformatted for this extension with a little work.

Warning. Inform checks the folder of user-installed extensions each time it translates the source text, in order to keep this directory page up to date. Each file must be a properly labelled extension (with its titling line correctly identifying itself), and must be in the right place - e.g. 'Marbles by Daphne Quilt' must have the filename 'Marbles.i7x' (or just 'Marbles' with no file extension) and be stored in the folder 'Daphne Quilt'. The title should be at most 51 characters long; the author name, 51. At the last check, these rules were not being followed:
