### Implicit plugin requirements
When running `packer init`, if Packer logs a warning that tells you to add a
`packer.required_plugin` block to your config file, this is because this plugin
was moved out of the Packer binary and you should consider using that block.
This is part of a set of breaking changes made to decouple Packer releases from
a Plugin release. These suggestion are manually added each time we move a plugin
out of the Packer core. These should happen only starting from version `1.8` of
Packer.
Starting from Version `1.8` many plugins will move out from Packer core. To make
the transition easier we will tag many core plugins as moved out. If one of the
components of a moved out plugin is used in a config file, then it is implied
that this plugin is required. This is part of a set of breaking changes made to
decouple Packer releases from a Plugin release. These suggestion are manually
added each time we move a plugin out of the Packer core.
See [Installing Plugins](/docs/plugins#installing-plugins) for more information on how plugin installation works.
