Synopsis

How it works

Iterates the Roblox engine's internal module registryLua registryA hidden global table at pseudo-index LUA_REGISTRYINDEX, used by C code to store persistent references. Contains _LOADED (module cache), lua_ref references, thread refs, and callback storage. Shared across all threads in the VM. — a table that maps ModuleScript instances to their cached return values. Every script that has been require()'d is in this registry. Optionally filters out CoreScript modules (under CoreGui / CorePackages).

Use case

for _, module in ipairs(getloadedmodules(true)) do
	print(module:GetFullName())
end

Parameters

excludeCore boolean optional

If true, modules under CoreGui/CoreScript are excluded.

{ModuleScript} Array of loaded ModuleScript instances.
