Standard Assets
Standard Assets is a collection of scripts meant for quick prototyping of games. VRChat has included most of these within the whitelisted world components, meaning we can use them to build in our worlds. World builders have found many uses for Standard Asset scripts that are far from their intended use.
You can import Standard Assets into your project in two different ways. The first is within Unity by going to Assets/Import Package/ and selecting one of the available options. These will only show up if you installed Standard Assets when you installed Unity. If you did not install them with Unity, you can find it on the Unity download page (Windows install / Mac install). The other way is to download the entire collection from the Asset Store.
