We won't be able to retain render phases from frame to frame if the keys
are unstable. It's not as simple as simply keying off the main world
entity, however, because some main world entities extract to multiple
render world entities. For example, directional lights extract to
multiple shadow cascades, and point lights extract to one view per
cubemap face. Therefore, we key off a new type, `RetainedViewEntity`,
which contains the main entity plus a *subview ID*.
This is part of the preparation for retained bins.

# Objective
PR #17225 allowed for sprite picking to be opt-in. After some
discussion, it was agreed that `PickingBehavior` should be used to
opt-in to sprite picking behavior for entities. This leads to
`PickingBehavior` having two purposes: mark an entity for use in a
backend, and describe how it should be picked. Discussion led to the
name `Pickable`making more sense (also: this is what the component was
named before upstreaming).
A follow-up pass will be made after this PR to unify backends.
## Solution
Replace all instances of `PickingBehavior` and `picking_behavior` with
`Pickable` and `pickable`, respectively.
## Testing
CI
## Migration Guide
Change all instances of `PickingBehavior` to `Pickable`.
# Objective
I realized that setting these to `deny` may have been a little
aggressive - especially since we upgrade warnings to denies in CI.
## Solution
Downgrades these lints to `warn`, so that compiles can work locally. CI
will still treat these as denies.
# Objective
Stumbled upon a `from <-> form` transposition while reviewing a PR,
thought it was interesting, and went down a bit of a rabbit hole.
## Solution
Fix em
# Objective
Fixes#16903.
## Solution
- Make sprite picking opt-in by requiring a new `SpritePickingCamera`
component for cameras and usage of a new `Pickable` component for
entities.
- Update the `sprite_picking` example to reflect these changes.
- Some reflection cleanup (I hope that's ok).
## Testing
Ran the `sprite_picking` example
## Open Questions
<del>
<ul>
<li>Is the name `SpritePickable` appropriate?</li>
<li>Should `SpritePickable` be in `bevy_sprite::prelude?</li>
</ul>
</del>
## Migration Guide
The sprite picking backend is now strictly opt-in using the
`SpritePickingCamera` and `Pickable` components. You should add the
`Pickable` component any entities that you want sprite picking to be
enabled for, and mark their respective cameras with
`SpritePickingCamera`.
# Objective
Many instances of `clippy::too_many_arguments` linting happen to be on
systems - functions which we don't call manually, and thus there's not
much reason to worry about the argument count.
## Solution
Allow `clippy::too_many_arguments` globally, and remove all lint
attributes related to it.
# Objective
I never realized `clippy::type_complexity` was an allowed lint - I've
been assuming it'd generate a warning when performing my linting PRs.
## Solution
Removes any instances of `#[allow(clippy::type_complexity)]` and
`#[expect(clippy::type_complexity)]`
## Testing
`cargo clippy` ran without errors or warnings.
# Objective
- Allow other crates to use `TextureAtlas` and friends without needing
to depend on `bevy_sprite`.
- Specifically, this allows adding `TextureAtlas` support to custom
cursors in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17121 by allowing
`bevy_winit` to depend on `bevy_image` instead of `bevy_sprite` which is
a [non-starter].
[non-starter]:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17121#discussion_r1904955083
## Solution
- Move `TextureAtlas`, `TextureAtlasBuilder`, `TextureAtlasSources`,
`TextureAtlasLayout` and `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder` into `bevy_image`.
- Add a new plugin to `bevy_image` named `TextureAtlasPlugin` which
allows us to register `TextureAtlas` and `TextureAtlasLayout` which was
previously done in `SpritePlugin`. Since `SpritePlugin` did the
registration previously, we just need to make it add
`TextureAtlasPlugin`.
## Testing
- CI builds it.
- I also ran multiple examples which hopefully covered any issues:
```
$ cargo run --example sprite
$ cargo run --example text
$ cargo run --example ui_texture_atlas
$ cargo run --example sprite_animation
$ cargo run --example sprite_sheet
$ cargo run --example sprite_picking
```
---
## Migration Guide
The following types have been moved from `bevy_sprite` to `bevy_image`:
`TextureAtlas`, `TextureAtlasBuilder`, `TextureAtlasSources`,
`TextureAtlasLayout` and `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder`.
If you are using the `bevy` crate, and were importing these types
directly (e.g. before `use bevy::sprite::TextureAtlas`), be sure to
update your import paths (e.g. after `use bevy::image::TextureAtlas`)
If you are using the `bevy` prelude to import these types (e.g. `use
bevy::prelude::*`), you don't need to change anything.
If you are using the `bevy_sprite` subcrate, be sure to add `bevy_image`
as a dependency if you do not already have it, and be sure to update
your import paths.
I broke the commit history on the other one,
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17160. Woops.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring
`bevy_sprite` in line with the new restrictions.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo test --package bevy_sprite` were run, and no
errors were encountered.
Currently, our batchable binned items are stored in a hash table that
maps bin key, which includes the batch set key, to a list of entities.
Multidraw is handled by sorting the bin keys and accumulating adjacent
bins that can be multidrawn together (i.e. have the same batch set key)
into multidraw commands during `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`.
This is reasonably efficient right now, but it will complicate future
work to retain indirect draw parameters from frame to frame. Consider
what must happen when we have retained indirect draw parameters and the
application adds a bin (i.e. a new mesh) that shares a batch set key
with some pre-existing meshes. (That is, the new mesh can be multidrawn
with the pre-existing meshes.) To be maximally efficient, our goal in
that scenario will be to update *only* the indirect draw parameters for
the batch set (i.e. multidraw command) containing the mesh that was
added, while leaving the others alone. That means that we have to
quickly locate all the bins that belong to the batch set being modified.
In the existing code, we would have to sort the list of bin keys so that
bins that can be multidrawn together become adjacent to one another in
the list. Then we would have to do a binary search through the sorted
list to find the location of the bin that was just added. Next, we would
have to widen our search to adjacent indexes that contain the same batch
set, doing expensive comparisons against the batch set key every time.
Finally, we would reallocate the indirect draw parameters and update the
stored pointers to the indirect draw parameters that the bins store.
By contrast, it'd be dramatically simpler if we simply changed the way
bins are stored to first map from batch set key (i.e. multidraw command)
to the bins (i.e. meshes) within that batch set key, and then from each
individual bin to the mesh instances. That way, the scenario above in
which we add a new mesh will be simpler to handle. First, we will look
up the batch set key corresponding to that mesh in the outer map to find
an inner map corresponding to the single multidraw command that will
draw that batch set. We will know how many meshes the multidraw command
is going to draw by the size of that inner map. Then we simply need to
reallocate the indirect draw parameters and update the pointers to those
parameters within the bins as necessary. There will be no need to do any
binary search or expensive batch set key comparison: only a single hash
lookup and an iteration over the inner map to update the pointers.
This patch implements the above technique. Because we don't have
retained bins yet, this PR provides no performance benefits. However, it
opens the door to maximally efficient updates when only a small number
of meshes change from frame to frame.
The main churn that this patch causes is that the *batch set key* (which
uniquely specifies a multidraw command) and *bin key* (which uniquely
specifies a mesh *within* that multidraw command) are now separate,
instead of the batch set key being embedded *within* the bin key.
In order to isolate potential regressions, I think that at least #16890,
#16836, and #16825 should land before this PR does.
## Migration Guide
* The *batch set key* is now separate from the *bin key* in
`BinnedPhaseItem`. The batch set key is used to collect multidrawable
meshes together. If you aren't using the multidraw feature, you can
safely set the batch set key to `()`.

# Objective
- Contributes to #11478
## Solution
- Made `bevy_utils::tracing` `doc(hidden)`
- Re-exported `tracing` from `bevy_log` for end-users
- Added `tracing` directly to crates that need it.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
If you were importing `tracing` via `bevy::utils::tracing`, instead use
`bevy::log::tracing`. Note that many items within `tracing` are also
directly re-exported from `bevy::log` as well, so you may only need
`bevy::log` for the most common items (e.g., `warn!`, `trace!`, etc.).
This also applies to the `log_once!` family of macros.
## Notes
- While this doesn't reduce the line-count in `bevy_utils`, it further
decouples the internal crates from `bevy_utils`, making its eventual
removal more feasible in the future.
- I have just imported `tracing` as we do for all dependencies. However,
a workspace dependency may be more appropriate for version management.
# Objective
Optimization for sprite picking
## Solution
Use `radsort` for the sort.
We already have `radsort` in tree for sorting various phase items
(including `Transparent2d` / sprites). It's a stable parallel radix
sort.
## Testing
Tested on an M1 Max.
`cargo run --example sprite_picking`
`cargo run --example bevymark --release --features=trace,trace_tracy --
--waves 100 --per-wave 1000 --benchmark`

Derived `Default` for all public unit structs that already derive from
`Component`. This allows them to be used more easily as required
components.
To avoid clutter in tests/examples, only public components were
affected, but this could easily be expanded to affect all unit
components.
Fixes#17052.
# Objective
Fixes#17098
It seems that it's not totally obvious how to fix this, but that
reverting might be part of the solution anyway.
Let's get the repo back into a working state.
## Solution
Revert the [recent
optimization](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17078) that broke
"many-to-one main->render world entities" for 2d.
## Testing
`cargo run --example text2d`
`cargo run --example sprite_slice`
# Objective
Use the latest version of `typos` and fix the typos that it now detects
# Additional Info
By the way, `typos` has a "low priority typo suggestions issue" where we
can throw typos we find that `typos` doesn't catch.
(This link may go stale) https://github.com/crate-ci/typos/issues/1200
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/16556
- Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11807
## Solution
- Simplify custom projections by using a single source of truth -
`Projection`, removing all existing generic systems and types.
- Existing perspective and orthographic structs are no longer components
- I could dissolve these to simplify further, but keeping them around
was the fast way to implement this.
- Instead of generics, introduce a third variant, with a trait object.
- Do an object safety dance with an intermediate trait to allow cloning
boxed camera projections. This is a normal rust polymorphism papercut.
You can do this with a crate but a manual impl is short and sweet.
## Testing
- Added a custom projection example
---
## Showcase
- Custom projections and projection handling has been simplified.
- Projection systems are no longer generic, with the potential for many
different projection components on the same camera.
- Instead `Projection` is now the single source of truth for camera
projections, and is the only projection component.
- Custom projections are still supported, and can be constructed with
`Projection::custom()`.
## Migration Guide
- `PerspectiveProjection` and `OrthographicProjection` are no longer
components. Use `Projection` instead.
- Custom projections should no longer be inserted as a component.
Instead, simply set the custom projection as a value of `Projection`
with `Projection::custom()`.
# Objective
- Fix sprite rendering performance regression since retained render
world changes
- The retained render world changes moved `ExtractedSprites` from using
the highly-optimised `EntityHasher` with an `Entity` to using
`FixedHasher` with `(Entity, MainEntity)`. This was enough to regress
framerate in bevymark by 25%.
## Solution
- Move the render world entity into a member of `ExtractedSprite` and
change `ExtractedSprites` to use `MainEntityHashMap` for its storage
- Disable sprite picking in bevymark

## Migration Guide
- `ExtractedSprites` is now using `MainEntityHashMap` for storage, which
is keyed on `MainEntity`.
- The render world entity corresponding to an `ExtractedSprite` is now
stored in the `render_entity` member of it.
# Objective
In `prepare_sprite_image_bind_groups` the `batch_image_changed`
condition is checked twice but the second if-block seems unnecessary.
# Solution
Queue new `SpriteBatch`es inside the first if-block and remove the
second if-block.
This commit makes the following changes:
* `IndirectParametersBuffer` has been changed from a `BufferVec` to a
`RawBufferVec`. This won about 20us or so on Bistro by avoiding `encase`
overhead.
* The methods on the `GetFullBatchData` trait no longer have the
`entity` parameter, as it was unused.
* `PreprocessWorkItem`, which specifies a transform-and-cull operation,
now supplies the mesh instance uniform output index directly instead of
having the shader look it up from the indirect draw parameters.
Accordingly, the responsibility of writing the output index to the
indirect draw parameters has been moved from the CPU to the GPU. This is
in preparation for retained indirect instance draw commands, where the
mesh instance uniform output index may change from frame to frame, while
the indirect instance draw commands will be cached. We won't want the
CPU to have to upload the same indirect draw parameters again and again
if a batch didn't change from frame to frame.
* `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` and
`batch_and_prepare_sorted_render_phase` now allocate indirect draw
commands for an entire batch set at a time when possible, instead of one
batch at a time. This change will allow us to retain the indirect draw
commands for whole batch sets.
* `GetFullBatchData::get_batch_indirect_parameters_index` has been
replaced with `GetFullBatchData::write_batch_indirect_parameters`, which
takes an offset and writes into it instead of allocating. This is
necessary in order to use the optimization mentioned in the previous
point.
* At the WGSL level, `IndirectParameters` has been factored out into
`mesh_preprocess_types.wgsl`. This is because we'll need a new compute
shader that zeroes out the instance counts in preparation for a new
frame. That shader will need to access `IndirectParameters`, so it was
moved to a separate file.
* Bins are no longer raw vectors but are instances of a separate type,
`RenderBin`. This is so that the bin can eventually contain its retained
batches.
# Objective
When preparing `GpuImage`s, we currently discard the
`depth_or_array_layers` of the `Image`'s size by converting it into a
`UVec2`.
Fixes#16715.
## Solution
Change `GpuImage::size` to `Extent3d`, and just pass that through when
creating `GpuImage`s.
Also copy the `aspect_ratio`, and `size` (now `size_2d` for
disambiguation from the field) functions from `Image` to `GpuImage` for
ease of use with 2D textures.
I originally copied all size-related functions (like `width`, and
`height`), but i think they are unnecessary considering how visible the
`size` field on `GpuImage` is compared to `Image`.
## Testing
Tested via `cargo r -p ci` for everything except docs, when generating
docs it keeps spitting out a ton of
```
error[E0554]: `#![feature]` may not be used on the stable release channel
--> crates/bevy_dylib/src/lib.rs:1:21
|
1 | #![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_auto_cfg))]
|
```
Not sure why this is happening, but it also happens without my changes,
so it's almost certainly some strange issue specific to my machine.
## Migration Guide
- `GpuImage::size` is now an `Extent3d`. To easily get 2D size, use
`size_2d()`.
Currently, `check_visibility` is parameterized over a query filter that
specifies the type of potentially-visible object. This has the
unfortunate side effect that we need a separate system,
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`, to trigger view
visibility change detection. That system is quite slow because it must
iterate sequentially over all entities in the scene.
This PR moves the query filter from `check_visibility` to a new
component, `VisibilityClass`. `VisibilityClass` stores a list of type
IDs, each corresponding to one of the query filters we used to use.
Because `check_visibility` is no longer specialized to the query filter
at the type level, Bevy now only needs to invoke it once, leading to
better performance as `check_visibility` can do change detection on the
fly rather than delegating it to a separate system.
This commit also has ergonomic improvements, as there's no need for
applications that want to add their own custom renderable components to
add specializations of the `check_visibility` system to the schedule.
Instead, they only need to ensure that the `ViewVisibility` component is
properly kept up to date. The recommended way to do this, and the way
that's demonstrated in the `custom_phase_item` and
`specialized_mesh_pipeline` examples, is to make `ViewVisibility` a
required component and to add the type ID to it in a component add hook.
This patch does this for `Mesh3d`, `Mesh2d`, `Sprite`, `Light`, and
`Node`, which means that most app code doesn't need to change at all.
Note that, although this patch has a large impact on the performance of
visibility determination, it doesn't actually improve the end-to-end
frame time of `many_cubes`. That's because the render world was already
effectively hiding the latency from
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`. This patch is, however,
necessary for *further* improvements to `many_cubes` performance.
`many_cubes` trace before:
`many_cubes` trace after:
## Migration Guide
* `check_visibility` no longer takes a `QueryFilter`, and there's no
need to add it manually to your app schedule anymore for custom
rendering items. Instead, entities with custom renderable components
should add the appropriate type IDs to `VisibilityClass`. See
`custom_phase_item` for an example.
# Objective
We were waiting for 1.83 to address most of these, due to a bug with
`missing_docs` and `expect`. Relates to, but does not entirely complete,
#15059.
## Solution
- Upgrade to 1.83
- Switch `allow(missing_docs)` to `expect(missing_docs)`
- Remove a few now-unused `allow`s along the way, or convert to `expect`
# Objective
The doc comments and function namings for `BorderRect` feel imprecise to
me. Particularly the `square` function which is used to define a uniform
`BorderRect` with equal widths on each edge. But this is potentially
confusing since this "square" border could be around an oblong shape.
Using "padding" to refer to the border extents seems undesirable too
since "padding" is typically used to refer to the area between border
and content, not the border itself.
## Solution
* Rename `square` to `all` (this matches the name of the similar method
on `UiRect`).
* Rename `rectangle` to `axes` (this matches the name of the similar
method on `UiRect`).
* Update doc comments.
## Migration Guide
The `square` and `rectangle` functions belonging to `BorderRect` have
been renamed to `all` and `axes`.

Updating dependencies; adopted version of #15696. (Supercedes #15696.)
Long answer: hashbrown is no longer using ahash by default, meaning that
we can't use the default-hasher methods with ahasher. So, we have to use
the longer-winded versions instead. This takes the opportunity to also
switch our default hasher as well, but without actually enabling the
default-hasher feature for hashbrown, meaning that we'll be able to
change our hasher more easily at the cost of all of these method calls
being obnoxious forever.
One large change from 0.15 is that `insert_unique_unchecked` is now
`unsafe`, and for cases where unsafe code was denied at the crate level,
I replaced it with `insert`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils` has updated its version of `hashbrown` to 0.15 and now
defaults to `foldhash` instead of `ahash`. This means that if you've
hard-coded your hasher to `bevy_utils::AHasher` or separately used the
`ahash` crate in your code, you may need to switch to `foldhash` to
ensure that everything works like it does in Bevy.
# Objective
Fixes typos in bevy project, following suggestion in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/1912#pullrequestreview-2483499337
## Solution
I used https://github.com/crate-ci/typos to find them.
I included only the ones that feel undebatable too me, but I am not in
game engine so maybe some terms are expected.
I left out the following typos:
- `reparametrize` => `reparameterize`: There are a lot of occurences, I
believe this was expected
- `semicircles` => `hemicircles`: 2 occurences, may mean something
specific in geometry
- `invertation` => `inversion`: may mean something specific
- `unparented` => `parentless`: may mean something specific
- `metalness` => `metallicity`: may mean something specific
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? I did not test the changes,
most changes are related to raw text. I expect the others to be tested
by the CI.
- Are there any parts that need more testing? I do not think
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know? To me there is nothing to test
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
---
## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can
delete this section.
(kept in case I include the `reparameterize` change here)
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of
Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support
these changes
- Simply adding new functionality is not a breaking change.
- Fixing behavior that was definitely a bug, rather than a questionable
design choice is not a breaking change.
## Questions
- [x] Should I include the above typos? No
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16702#issuecomment-2525271152)
- [ ] Should I add `typos` to the CI? (I will check how to configure it
properly)
This project looks awesome, I really enjoy reading the progress made,
thanks to everyone involved.
This commit adds support for *multidraw*, which is a feature that allows
multiple meshes to be drawn in a single drawcall. `wgpu` currently
implements multidraw on Vulkan, so this feature is only enabled there.
Multiple meshes can be drawn at once if they're in the same vertex and
index buffers and are otherwise placed in the same bin. (Thus, for
example, at present the materials and textures must be identical, but
see #16368.) Multidraw is a significant performance improvement during
the draw phase because it reduces the number of rebindings, as well as
the number of drawcalls.
This feature is currently only enabled when GPU culling is used: i.e.
when `GpuCulling` is present on a camera. Therefore, if you run for
example `scene_viewer`, you will not see any performance improvements,
because `scene_viewer` doesn't add the `GpuCulling` component to its
camera.
Additionally, the multidraw feature is only implemented for opaque 3D
meshes and not for shadows or 2D meshes. I plan to make GPU culling the
default and to extend the feature to shadows in the future. Also, in the
future I suspect that polyfilling multidraw on APIs that don't support
it will be fruitful, as even without driver-level support use of
multidraw allows us to avoid expensive `wgpu` rebindings.
# Objective
- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`
## Solution
- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation
## Notes
Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.
# Objective
Make documentation of a component's required components more visible by
moving it to the type's docs
## Solution
Change `#[require]` from a derive macro helper to an attribute macro.
Disadvantages:
- this silences any unused code warnings on the component, as it is used
by the macro!
- need to import `require` if not using the ecs prelude (I have not
included this in the migration guilde as Rust tooling already suggests
the fix)

# Objective
- Allow bevy_sprite_picking backend to pass through transparent sections
of the sprite.
- Fixes#14929
## Solution
- After sprite picking detects the cursor is within a sprites rect,
check the pixel at that location on the texture and check that it meets
an optional transparency cutoff. Change originally created for
mod_picking on bevy 0.14
(https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/pull/373)
## Testing
- Ran Sprite Picking example to check it was working both with
transparency enabled and disabled
- ModPicking version is currently in use in my own isometric game where
this has been an extremely noticeable issue
## Showcase
## Migration Guide
Sprite picking now ignores transparent regions (with an alpha value less
than or equal to 0.1). To configure this, modify the
`SpriteBackendSettings` resource.

This patch adds the infrastructure necessary for Bevy to support
*bindless resources*, by adding a new `#[bindless]` attribute to
`AsBindGroup`.
Classically, only a single texture (or sampler, or buffer) can be
attached to each shader binding. This means that switching materials
requires breaking a batch and issuing a new drawcall, even if the mesh
is otherwise identical. This adds significant overhead not only in the
driver but also in `wgpu`, as switching bind groups increases the amount
of validation work that `wgpu` must do.
*Bindless resources* are the typical solution to this problem. Instead
of switching bindings between each texture, the renderer instead
supplies a large *array* of all textures in the scene up front, and the
material contains an index into that array. This pattern is repeated for
buffers and samplers as well. The renderer now no longer needs to switch
binding descriptor sets while drawing the scene.
Unfortunately, as things currently stand, this approach won't quite work
for Bevy. Two aspects of `wgpu` conspire to make this ideal approach
unacceptably slow:
1. In the DX12 backend, all binding arrays (bindless resources) must
have a constant size declared in the shader, and all textures in an
array must be bound to actual textures. Changing the size requires a
recompile.
2. Changing even one texture incurs revalidation of all textures, a
process that takes time that's linear in the total size of the binding
array.
This means that declaring a large array of textures big enough to
encompass the entire scene is presently unacceptably slow. For example,
if you declare 4096 textures, then `wgpu` will have to revalidate all
4096 textures if even a single one changes. This process can take
multiple frames.
To work around this problem, this PR groups bindless resources into
small *slabs* and maintains a free list for each. The size of each slab
for the bindless arrays associated with a material is specified via the
`#[bindless(N)]` attribute. For instance, consider the following
declaration:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
#[bindless(16)]
struct MyMaterial {
#[buffer(0)]
color: Vec4,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
diffuse: Handle<Image>,
}
```
The `#[bindless(N)]` attribute specifies that, if bindless arrays are
supported on the current platform, each resource becomes a binding array
of N instances of that resource. So, for `MyMaterial` above, the `color`
attribute is exposed to the shader as `binding_array<vec4<f32>, 16>`,
the `diffuse` texture is exposed to the shader as
`binding_array<texture_2d<f32>, 16>`, and the `diffuse` sampler is
exposed to the shader as `binding_array<sampler, 16>`. Inside the
material's vertex and fragment shaders, the applicable index is
available via the `material_bind_group_slot` field of the `Mesh`
structure. So, for instance, you can access the current color like so:
```wgsl
// `uniform` binding arrays are a non-sequitur, so `uniform` is automatically promoted
// to `storage` in bindless mode.
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
...
}
```
Note that portable shader code can't guarantee that the current platform
supports bindless textures. Indeed, bindless mode is only available in
Vulkan and DX12. The `BINDLESS` shader definition is available for your
use to determine whether you're on a bindless platform or not. Thus a
portable version of the shader above would look like:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
#else // BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<uniform> material_color: Color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
#ifdef BINDLESS
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
#else // BINDLESS
let color = material_color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
}
```
Importantly, this PR *doesn't* update `StandardMaterial` to be bindless.
So, for example, `scene_viewer` will currently not run any faster. I
intend to update `StandardMaterial` to use bindless mode in a follow-up
patch.
A new example, `shaders/shader_material_bindless`, has been added to
demonstrate how to use this new feature.
Here's a Tracy profile of `submit_graph_commands` of this patch and an
additional patch (not submitted yet) that makes `StandardMaterial` use
bindless. Red is those patches; yellow is `main`. The scene was Bistro
Exterior with a hack that forces all textures to opaque. You can see a
1.47x mean speedup.
## Migration Guide
* `RenderAssets::prepare_asset` now takes an `AssetId` parameter.
* Bin keys now have Bevy-specific material bind group indices instead of
`wgpu` material bind group IDs, as part of the bindless change. Use the
new `MaterialBindGroupAllocator` to map from bind group index to bind
group ID.
# Objective
- Fixes#16472.
## Solution
- Add flags to `SpritePlugin` and `UiPlugin` to disable their picking
backends.
## Testing
- The change is pretty trivial, so not much to test!
---
## Migration Guide
- `UiPlugin` now contains an extra `add_picking` field if
`bevy_ui_picking_backend` is enabled.
- `SpritePlugin` is no longer a unit struct, and has one field if
`bevy_sprite_picking_backend` is enabled (otherwise no fields).
# Objective
- Fixes#16469.
## Solution
- Make the picking backend features not enabled by default in each
sub-crate.
- Make features in `bevy_internal` to set the backend features
- Make the root `bevy` crate set the features by default.
## Testing
- The mesh and sprite picking examples still work correctly.
# Objective
- When picking sprites, the pointer is offset from the mouse, causing
you to pick sprites you're not mousing over!
## Solution
- Shift over the cursor by the minimum of the viewport.
## Testing
- I was already using the bevy_mod_picking PR for my project, so it
seems to work!
- I tested this on the sprite_example (making the camera only render to
part of the viewport), and it also works there.
## Notes
- This is just https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/pull/365 but
in Bevy form.
- We don't need to renormalize the viewport in any way since the
viewport is specified in pixels, so all that matters is that the origin
is correct.

# Objective
Fixes#15940
## Solution
Remove the `pub use` and fix the compile errors.
Make `bevy_image` available as `bevy::image`.
## Testing
Feature Frenzy would be good here! Maybe I'll learn how to use it if I
have some time this weekend, or maybe a reviewer can use it.
## Migration Guide
Use `bevy_image` instead of `bevy_render::texture` items.

# Objective
- wgpu 0.20 made workgroup vars stop being zero-init by default. this
broke some applications (cough foresight cough) and now we workaround
it. wgpu exposes a compilation option that zero initializes workgroup
memory by default, but bevy does not expose it.
## Solution
- expose the compilation option wgpu gives us
## Testing
- ran examples: 3d_scene, compute_shader_game_of_life, gpu_readback,
lines, specialized_mesh_pipeline. they all work
- confirmed fix for our own problems
---
</details>
## Migration Guide
- add `zero_initialize_workgroup_memory: false,` to
`ComputePipelineDescriptor` or `RenderPipelineDescriptor` structs to
preserve 0.14 functionality, add `zero_initialize_workgroup_memory:
true,` to restore bevy 0.13 functionality.
# Objective
1. UI texture slicing chops and scales an image to fit the size of a
node and isn't meant to place any constraints on the size of the node
itself, but because the required components changes required `ImageSize`
and `ContentSize` for nodes with `UiImage`, texture sliced nodes are
laid out using an `ImageMeasure`.
2. In 0.14 users could spawn a `(UiImage, NodeBundle)` which would
display an image stretched to fill the UI node's bounds ignoring the
image's instrinsic size. Now that `UiImage` requires `ContentSize`,
there's no option to display an image without its size placing
constrains on the UI layout (unless you force the `Node` to a fixed
size, but that's not a solution).
3. It's desirable that the `Sprite` and `UiImage` share similar APIs.
Fixes#16109
## Solution
* Remove the `Component` impl from `ImageScaleMode`.
* Add a `Stretch` variant to `ImageScaleMode`.
* Add a field `scale_mode: ImageScaleMode` to `Sprite`.
* Add a field `mode: UiImageMode` to `UiImage`.
* Add an enum `UiImageMode` similar to `ImageScaleMode` but with
additional UI specific variants.
* Remove the queries for `ImageScaleMode` from Sprite and UI extraction,
and refer to the new fields instead.
* Change `ui_layout_system` to update measure funcs on any change to
`ContentSize`s to enable manual clearing without removing the component.
* Don't add a measure unless `UiImageMode::Auto` is set in
`update_image_content_size_system`. Mutably deref the `Mut<ContentSize>`
if the `UiImage` is changed to force removal of any existing measure
func.
## Testing
Remove all the constraints from the ui_texture_slice example:
```rust
//! This example illustrates how to create buttons with their textures sliced
//! and kept in proportion instead of being stretched by the button dimensions
use bevy::{
color::palettes::css::{GOLD, ORANGE},
prelude::*,
winit::WinitSettings,
};
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// Only run the app when there is user input. This will significantly reduce CPU/GPU use.
.insert_resource(WinitSettings::desktop_app())
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.add_systems(Update, button_system)
.run();
}
fn button_system(
mut interaction_query: Query<
(&Interaction, &Children, &mut UiImage),
(Changed<Interaction>, With<Button>),
>,
mut text_query: Query<&mut Text>,
) {
for (interaction, children, mut image) in &mut interaction_query {
let mut text = text_query.get_mut(children[0]).unwrap();
match *interaction {
Interaction::Pressed => {
**text = "Press".to_string();
image.color = GOLD.into();
}
Interaction::Hovered => {
**text = "Hover".to_string();
image.color = ORANGE.into();
}
Interaction::None => {
**text = "Button".to_string();
image.color = Color::WHITE;
}
}
}
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
let image = asset_server.load("textures/fantasy_ui_borders/panel-border-010.png");
let slicer = TextureSlicer {
border: BorderRect::square(22.0),
center_scale_mode: SliceScaleMode::Stretch,
sides_scale_mode: SliceScaleMode::Stretch,
max_corner_scale: 1.0,
};
// ui camera
commands.spawn(Camera2d);
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Percent(100.0),
height: Val::Percent(100.0),
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
..default()
})
.with_children(|parent| {
for [w, h] in [[150.0, 150.0], [300.0, 150.0], [150.0, 300.0]] {
parent
.spawn((
Button,
Node {
// width: Val::Px(w),
// height: Val::Px(h),
// horizontally center child text
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
// vertically center child text
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
margin: UiRect::all(Val::Px(20.0)),
..default()
},
UiImage::new(image.clone()),
ImageScaleMode::Sliced(slicer.clone()),
))
.with_children(|parent| {
// parent.spawn((
// Text::new("Button"),
// TextFont {
// font: asset_server.load("fonts/FiraSans-Bold.ttf"),
// font_size: 33.0,
// ..default()
// },
// TextColor(Color::srgb(0.9, 0.9, 0.9)),
// ));
});
}
});
}
```
This should result in a blank window, since without any constraints the
texture slice image nodes should be zero-sized. But in main the image
nodes are given the size of the underlying unsliced source image
`textures/fantasy_ui_borders/panel-border-010.png`:
<img width="321" alt="slicing"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cbd74c9c-14cd-4b4d-93c6-7c0152bb05ee">
For this PR need to change the lines:
```
UiImage::new(image.clone()),
ImageScaleMode::Sliced(slicer.clone()),
```
to
```
UiImage::new(image.clone()).with_mode(UiImageMode::Sliced(slicer.clone()),
```
and then nothing should be rendered, as desired.

# Objective
- `MeshPickingBackend` and `SpritePickingBackend` do not have the
`Plugin` suffix
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is masquerading as a `Plugin` when in reality
it should be a `PluginGroup`
- Fixes#16081.
## Solution
- Rename some structures:
|Original Name|New Name|
|-|-|
|`MeshPickingBackend`|`MeshPickingPlugin`|
|`MeshPickingBackendSettings`|`MeshPickingSettings`|
|`SpritePickingBackend`|`SpritePickingPlugin`|
|`UiPickingBackendPlugin`|`UiPickingPlugin`|
- Make `DefaultPickingPlugins` a `PluginGroup`.
- Because `DefaultPickingPlugins` is within the `DefaultPlugins` plugin
group, I also added support for nested plugin groups to the
`plugin_group!` macro.
## Testing
- I used ripgrep to ensure all references were properly renamed.
- For the `plugin_group!` macro, I used `cargo expand` to manually
inspect the expansion of `DefaultPlugins`.
---
## Migration Guide
> [!NOTE]
>
> All 3 of the changed structures were added after 0.14, so this does
not need to be included in the 0.14 to 0.15 migration guide.
- `MeshPickingBackend` is now named `MeshPickingPlugin`.
- `MeshPickingBackendSettings` is now named `MeshPickingSettings`.
- `SpritePickingBackend` is now named `SpritePickingPlugin`.
- `UiPickingBackendPlugin` is now named `UiPickingPlugin`.
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is now a a `PluginGroup` instead of a
`Plugin`.
# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Closes#15799.
Many rendering people and maintainers are in favor of reverting default
mesh materials added in #15524, especially as the migration to required
component is already large and heavily breaking.
## Solution
Revert default mesh materials, and adjust docs accordingly.
- Remove `extract_default_materials`
- Remove `clear_material_instances`, and move the logic back into
`extract_mesh_materials`
- Remove `HasMaterial2d` and `HasMaterial3d`
- Change default material handles back to pink instead of white
- 2D uses `Color::srgb(1.0, 0.0, 1.0)`, while 3D uses `Color::srgb(1.0,
0.0, 0.5)`. Not sure if this is intended.
There is now no indication at all about missing materials for `Mesh2d`
and `Mesh3d`. Having a mesh without a material renders nothing.
## Testing
I ran `2d_shapes`, `mesh2d_manual`, and `3d_shapes`, with and without
mesh material components.
# Objective
#15320 is a particularly painful breaking change, and the new
`RenderEntity` in particular is very noisy, with a lot of `let entity =
entity.id()` spam.
## Solution
Implement `WorldQuery`, `QueryData` and `ReadOnlyQueryData` for
`RenderEntity` and `WorldEntity`.
These work the same as the `Entity` impls from a user-facing
perspective: they simply return an owned (copied) `Entity` identifier.
This dramatically reduces noise and eases migration.
Under the hood, these impls defer to the implementations for `&T` for
everything other than the "call .id() for the user" bit, as they involve
read-only access to component data. Doing it this way (as opposed to
implementing a custom fetch, as tried in the first commit) dramatically
reduces the maintenance risk of complex unsafe code outside of
`bevy_ecs`.
To make this easier (and encourage users to do this themselves!), I've
made `ReadFetch` and `WriteFetch` slightly more public: they're no
longer `doc(hidden)`. This is a good change, since trying to vendor the
logic is much worse than just deferring to the existing tested impls.
## Testing
I've run a handful of rendering examples (breakout, alien_cake_addict,
auto_exposure, fog_volumes, box_shadow) and nothing broke.
## Follow-up
We should lint for the uses of `&RenderEntity` and `&MainEntity` in
queries: this is just less nice for no reason.
