    How can I create a GameObject with a Sprite Component?

    In Unity 2019.4 I can install the "2D Sprite" package and create Sprites via "GameObject > 2D Object > Sprite":

    In Unity 2021.1 I can't find the package anymore and I also can't find an option to create a Sprite:

    Trying to open the "Sprite Editor", shows me:

    But I can't find the "2D Sprite" package :(

    I'm using 2021 also - it's listed for me, have you tried "Refresh list" option at the bottom?

    Not seeing it either in 0a4, refreshing didn't make it show up, but it is possible by manually adding it to the manifest

    I had the same issue but changed the dropdown in packages from
    Packages: In Project

    To

    Packages: Unity Registry

    I know this was a while ago, but I got stuck on the same thing and found another way to create the 2D Object>Sprite by going to Game Object>Create New and then, in the inspector, click "Add Component" to find Physics 2D>Sprite Renderer.

    And everything from there worked perfectly!

    I hope this helps.
    I am a Writer, with little prior programming experience, so I got fairly stumped on this.

    Thank you Corvid, this was very helpful indeed as I ran into the same issue today.

    Mine took a bit of digging as it was somewhat different so I would like to just add that I found mine in GameObject>Create Empty, then Inspector>Add Component>Rendering>Sprite Renderer.

    Alternatively, people can use Search to find it as well when adding the component. Cheers!
