# Objective In the Render World, there are a number of collections that are derived from Main World entities and are used to drive rendering. The most notable are: - `VisibleEntities`, which is generated in the `check_visibility` system and contains visible entities for a view. - `ExtractedInstances`, which maps entity ids to asset ids. In the old model, these collections were trivially kept in sync -- any extracted phase item could look itself up because the render entity id was guaranteed to always match the corresponding main world id. After #15320, this became much more complicated, and was leading to a number of subtle bugs in the Render World. The main rendering systems, i.e. `queue_material_meshes` and `queue_material2d_meshes`, follow a similar pattern: ```rust for visible_entity in visible_entities.iter::<With<Mesh2d>>() { let Some(mesh_instance) = render_mesh_instances.get_mut(visible_entity) else { continue; }; // Look some more stuff up and specialize the pipeline... let bin_key = Opaque2dBinKey { pipeline: pipeline_id, draw_function: draw_opaque_2d, asset_id: mesh_instance.mesh_asset_id.into(), material_bind_group_id: material_2d.get_bind_group_id().0, }; opaque_phase.add( bin_key, *visible_entity, BinnedRenderPhaseType::mesh(mesh_instance.automatic_batching), ); } ``` In this case, `visible_entities` and `render_mesh_instances` are both collections that are created and keyed by Main World entity ids, and so this lookup happens to work by coincidence. However, there is a major unintentional bug here: namely, because `visible_entities` is a collection of Main World ids, the phase item being queued is created with a Main World id rather than its correct Render World id. This happens to not break mesh rendering because the render commands used for drawing meshes do not access the `ItemQuery` parameter, but demonstrates the confusion that is now possible: our UI phase items are correctly being queued with Render World ids while our meshes aren't. Additionally, this makes it very easy and error prone to use the wrong entity id to look up things like assets. For example, if instead we ignored visibility checks and queued our meshes via a query, we'd have to be extra careful to use `&MainEntity` instead of the natural `Entity`. ## Solution Make all collections that are derived from Main World data use `MainEntity` as their key, to ensure type safety and avoid accidentally looking up data with the wrong entity id: ```rust pub type MainEntityHashMap<V> = hashbrown::HashMap<MainEntity, V, EntityHash>; ``` Additionally, we make all `PhaseItem` be able to provide both their Main and Render World ids, to allow render phase implementors maximum flexibility as to what id should be used to look up data. You can think of this like tracking at the type level whether something in the Render World should use it's "primary key", i.e. entity id, or needs to use a foreign key, i.e. `MainEntity`. ## Testing ##### TODO: This will require extensive testing to make sure things didn't break! Additionally, some extraction logic has become more complicated and needs to be checked for regressions. ## Migration Guide With the advent of the retained render world, collections that contain references to `Entity` that are extracted into the render world have been changed to contain `MainEntity` in order to prevent errors where a render world entity id is used to look up an item by accident. Custom rendering code may need to be changed to query for `&MainEntity` in order to look up the correct item from such a collection. Additionally, users who implement their own extraction logic for collections of main world entity should strongly consider extracting into a different collection that uses `MainEntity` as a key. Additionally, render phases now require specifying both the `Entity` and `MainEntity` for a given `PhaseItem`. Custom render phases should ensure `MainEntity` is available when queuing a phase item. |

What is Bevy?
Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
WARNING
Bevy is still in the early stages of development. Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. A new version of Bevy containing breaking changes to the API is released approximately once every 3 months. We provide migration guides, but we can't guarantee migrations will always be easy. Use only if you are willing to work in this environment.
MSRV: Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is generally close to "the latest stable release" of Rust.
Design Goals
- Capable: Offer a complete 2D and 3D feature set
- Simple: Easy for newbies to pick up, but infinitely flexible for power users
- Data Focused: Data-oriented architecture using the Entity Component System paradigm
- Modular: Use only what you need. Replace what you don't like
- Fast: App logic should run quickly, and when possible, in parallel
- Productive: Changes should compile quickly ... waiting isn't fun

Contributing
If you'd like to help build Bevy, check out the Contributor's Guide. For simple problems, feel free to open an issue or PR and tackle it yourself!
For more complex architecture decisions and experimental mad science, please open an RFC (Request For Comments) so we can brainstorm together effectively!
Getting Started
We recommend checking out the Quick Start Guide for a brief introduction.
Follow the Setup guide to ensure your development environment is set up correctly. Once set up, you can quickly try out the examples by cloning this repo and running the following commands:
# Switch to the correct version (latest release, default is main development branch)
git checkout latest
# Runs the "breakout" example
cargo run --example breakout
To draw a window with standard functionality enabled, use:
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main(){
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.run();
}
Fast Compiles
Bevy can be built just fine using default configuration on stable Rust. However for really fast iterative compiles, you should enable the "fast compiles" setup by following the instructions here.
Bevy Cargo Features
This list outlines the different cargo features supported by Bevy. These allow you to customize the Bevy feature set for your use-case.
Thanks
Bevy is the result of the hard work of many people. A huge thanks to all Bevy contributors, the many open source projects that have come before us, the Rust gamedev ecosystem, and the many libraries we build on.
A huge thanks to Bevy's generous sponsors. Bevy will always be free and open source, but it isn't free to make. Please consider sponsoring our work if you like what we're building.
This project is tested with BrowserStack.

at your option. This means you can select the license you prefer! This dual-licensing approach is the de-facto standard in the Rust ecosystem and there are very good reasons to include both.
Some of the engine's code carries additional copyright notices and license terms due to their external origins.
These are generally BSD-like, but exact details vary by crate:
If the README of a crate contains a 'License' header (or similar), the additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to that crate will be listed.
The above licensing requirement still applies to contributions to those crates, and sections of those crates will carry those license terms.
The license field of each crate will also reflect this.
For example, bevy_mikktspace has code under the Zlib license (as well as a copyright notice when choosing the MIT license).
The assets included in this repository (for our examples) typically fall under different open licenses. These will not be included in your game (unless copied in by you), and they are not distributed in the published bevy crates. See CREDITS.md for the details of the licenses of those files.
