The same project continues under the name @rollup/plugin-babel. @rollup/plugin-babel is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from rollup-plugin-babel to @rollup/plugin-babel

Swap the dependency and import the named export: import { babel } from '@rollup/plugin-babel'. The scoped plugin's README asks you to set babelHelpers explicitly, usually 'bundled' or 'runtime'.

Why rollup-plugin-babel is on this list

Rollup consolidated its first-party plugins into the @rollup scope in 2020 and moved them into the rollup/plugins monorepo. rollup-plugin-babel's last release was 4.4.0 in March 2020 and it is deprecated on npm with a notice pointing at @rollup/plugin-babel. The unscoped node-resolve and commonjs plugins were retired the same way.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

rollup-plugin-babel alternatives

The dataset lists no second option: @rollup/plugin-babel is where the ecosystem went, and nothing else has meaningful adoption.

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If rollup-plugin-babel is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
