## Getting Started
### What is the Medusa system?
- It is a dynamic module/plugin/cog system for NadekoBot introduced in **NadekoBot 4.1.0**
- Allows developers to add custom functionality to Nadeko without modifying the original code
- Allows for those custom features to be updated during bot runtime (if properly written), without the need for bot restart.
- They are added to `data/medusae` folder and are loaded, unloaded and handled through discord commands.
- `.meload` Loads the specified medusa (see `.h .meload`)
- `.meunload` Unloads the specified medusa (see `.h .meunload`)
- `.meinfo` Checks medusae information (see `.h .meinfo`)
- `.melist` Lists the available medusae (see `.h .melist`)
### How to make one?
Medusae are written in [C#](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csharp/) programming language, so you will need at least low-intermediate knowledge of it in order to make a useful Medusa.
Follow the [creating a medusa guide](creating-a-medusa.md)
### Where to get medusae other people made?
*It is EXTREMELY, and I repeat **EXTREMELY** dangerous to run medusae of strangers or people you don't FULLY trust.* ⚠
*It can not only lead to your bot being stolen, but it also puts your entire computer and personal files in jeopardy.*
**It is strongly recommended to run only the medusae you yourself wrote, and only on a hosted VPS or dedicated server which ONLY hosts your bot, to minimize the potential damage caused by bad actors.**
No easy way at the moment, except asking in the `#dev-and-modding` chat in [#NadekoLog server](https://discord.nadeko.bot)
