# Build custom components > Instructions on how to build your own Collector components --- LLMS index: [llms.txt](/llms.txt) --- You can configure the OpenTelemetry Collector with components from the [community](/docs/collector/components/) and [broader ecosystem](/ecosystem/registry/), and you can also develop and build on your own custom components. This section describes how to build some of those components. For additional details, see the documentation in the [opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/README.md). --- Section pages: - [Build a receiver](/pt/docs/collector/extend/custom-component/receiver/) - [Build a connector](/pt/docs/collector/extend/custom-component/connector/) - [Build an extension](/pt/docs/collector/extend/custom-component/extension/): Instructions on how to build custom extensions for the Collector.
