   I thought about this a little more. I think the best way to implement this would be to mention custom assets in the plugin/minigame's corresponding json metadata file.

   For example, soccer currently looks like this:
   

   plugin-manager/plugins/minigames.json

   Lines 6 to 24 in 7f84e49

   	"soccer": {
   	"description": "Shoot the ball in left or right edge of the map to score",
   	"external_url": "",
   	"authors": [
   	{
   	"name": "Stary_Agent",
   	"email": "",
   	"discord": ""
   	}
   	],
   	"versions": {
   	"1.0.0": {
   	"api_version": 7,
   	"commit_sha": "e59073b",
   	"released_on": "02-11-2022",
   	"md5sum": "ceb7ac417c85396722fa9f7fee3cfc01"
   	}
   	}
   	},

   If it were to use custom assets, it could look something like this:

   "soccer": {
     "description": "Shoot the ball in left or right edge of the map to score",
     "external_url": "",
     "authors": [
       {
         "name": "Stary_Agent",
         "email": "",
         "discord": ""
       }
     ],
     "versions": {
       "1.0.0": {
         "api_version": 7,
         "commit_sha": "e59073b",
         "released_on": "02-11-2022",
         "md5sum": "ceb7ac417c85396722fa9f7fee3cfc01",
         "custom_assets": [
           {
             "file": "newLevel/newLevel.bob",
             "md5sum": "e0b0b3b0e0b0b3b0e0b0b3b0e0b0b3b0",
           },
           {
             "file": "newLevel/newLevel.cob",
             "md5sum": "c0c3c0e0c0c3c0e0c0c3c0e0c0c03c0e",
           },
           {
             "file": "newLevel/newLevel.dds",
             "md5sum": "b0b3b0e0b0b3b0e0b0b3b0e0b0b3b0e0",
           }
         ]
       }
     }
   },

   I think maintaining versions for every asset (like the way we do for plugins/minigames) seems unnecessary, so for now I think let's just use the present version of the asset. In case the local md5sum of the asset ever stops matching with the one present in this repo, plugin manager can attempt to update the local asset.

   We can also auto populate the md5sum for assets using ci similar to how we do it for plugins.
