# Objective
- The current implementation for dynamic plugins is unsound. Please see
#11969 for background and justification.
- Closes#11969 and closes#13073.
## Solution
- Deprecate all dynamic plugin items for Bevy 0.14, with plans to remove
them for Bevy 0.15.
## Discussion
One thing I want to make clear is that I'm not opposed to dynamic
plugins _in general_. I think they can be handy, especially for DLC and
modding, but I think the current system is the wrong approach. It's too
much of a footgun for the meager benefit is provides.
---
## Changelog
- Deprecated the current dynamic plugin system.
- Dynamic plugins will be removed in Bevy 0.15. For now you can continue
using them by marking your code with `#[allow(deprecated)]`.
## Migration Guide
If possible, remove all usage of dynamic plugins.
```rust
// Old
#[derive(DynamicPlugin)]
pub struct MyPlugin;
App::new()
.load_plugin("path/to/plugin")
.run();
// New
pub struct MyPlugin;
App::new()
.add_plugins(MyPlugin)
.run();
```
If you are unable to do that, you may temporarily silence the
deprecation warnings.
```rust
#[allow(deprecated)]
```
Please note that the current dynamic plugin system will be removed by
the next major Bevy release, so you will have to migrate eventually. You
