# Opening the PixieBrix Sidebar

Some mods are accessible via the PixieBrix Sidebar. Specifically any mods that use the [Sidebar Panel](/developing-mods/developer-concepts/types-of-mods/sidebar-panel.md) as a starter brick. 

To access the PixieBrix sidebar, click the PixieBrix icon in the Chrome Extension bar.
