Edited December 29, 2015Koyaanisquatsy, the file structure should be: \2.76\scripts\addons\materials_library-master with all the file inside that.

Written December 29, 2015what i do not see are the actual materials.(not in that menu anyway) i can use blenders append-function to get the materials, but i haven´t figured out how to see them in that addon-menu.

Written October 01, 2019Hi, you Blender now has the addon built in. Matlibvx. you can still download this materials file and either place it in the matlib folder or in Blender 2.81, in the addons preferences, you can choose an extra location and add any blend files containing materials to the list.

Written September 08, 2021In BLender 2.93: 1. Unzip the Folder 2.Then go to Edit->Preferences 3. Click "install an ad-on." 4. Select "init.py" file 5. find and activate "Material: Material Library" Add-on.
Done! You can find Material Library VX in the materials Tab now! Have fun!

Written November 17, 2021This procedure did not work for me in 2.93... in fact I cant add anything via addons. They do absolutely nothing. I even tried running Blender as an admin. I have full rights on the system. This is annoying.
