Bricks Builder is a relatively new WordPress Page builder that's quickly growing in popularity amongst casual creators and developers alike. Released in mid-2021, it's maturing rapidly, adding powerful features with every new release.
In this article, we're going to take a look at Bricks Builders addons and third party plugins that extend the functionality of the core tool.
Most every WordPress page builder that's been around for some time has a robust ecosystem of third party addons surrounding them. These plugins and tools typically offer additional components, features, workflow enhancements, shortcuts and more - all with the goal of making your job (creating with Bricks Builder) quicker and easier.
As Bricks matures and grows older, more and more addons are being released.
To make this list, an addon needs to be specifically created to extend the functionality or design of Bricks Builder. It can impact the front end or the back end, but it can't just be a plugin that has support for Bricks. It needs to be made specifically for the site builder.
Use this table to quickly navigate to the description of the respective addons within this post, or click on the visit “website link” to head to their landing page. We'll update this table as new Bricks Builder Plugins/Addons are released.

Let's get into it!
Bricksable is a plugin that adds additional components to the Bricks Builder. Currently, the tool offers 9 new elements that helps creators add unique effects, designs, and interactions.
Here are the current elements included in this Bricks Addon:
These elements behave like native Bricks elements; they can be dragged onto the canvas, and manipulated by using the settings panel on the left. Each element comes with it's own options. For example, the Lottie Element allows you to insert a Lottie JSON file, and incorporate the next-gen animation format into a page built with Bricks.
The developers promise that more elements are on the way.

Thanks. I love Bricks 😎😎
Thanks for the article. Automatic css is the best plugin for bricks by far.
frames is coming for bricks too.
Bricks is the best of the page builder bunch for me. However the starter sites and sections are not a great base for building pages that look "pro-designer" with my own content and across devices. I have the same problem with starter pages from GP, Kadence, Oxygen etc.. They look good in the shop but real world usability is so so. I tried them all.
I ended up now with a combination of Bricks, Winden and Nintu templates. Those templates just look very good with any content and on all devices. There is excellent documentation and and the guys are super nice and supportive. Now I work faster than ever with much more professional results. And with the LTDs for Nintu and Winden it was very affordable.
