Overhaul Color #

Color
Gizmos
Rendering
Text
UI

Bevy's color support has received a major overhaul, and with it the new bevy::color module. Buckle up, many things have been changed!

Color space representation #

Bevy's main Color enum is used to represent color in many different color spaces (such as RGB, HSL, and more). Before, these color spaces were all represented inline as variants:

enum Color {
    Rgba {
        red: f32,
        green: f32,
        blue: f32,
        alpha: f32,
    },
    Hsla {
        hue: f32,
        saturation: f32,
        lightness: f32,
        alpha: f32,
    },
    // ...
}

This has been changed so now each color space has its own dedicated struct:

struct Srgba {
    red: f32,
    green: f32,
    blue: f32,
    alpha: f32,
}

struct Hsla {
    hue: f32,
    saturation: f32,
    lightness: f32,
    alpha: f32,
}

enum Color {
    Srgba(Srgba),
    Hsla(Hsla),
    // ...
}

This makes it easier to organize and manage different color spaces, and many more color spaces have been added too! To handle this change, you may need to update your match statements:

// 0.13
match color {
    Color::Rgba { red, green, blue, alpha } => {
        // Something cool here!
    },
    _ => {},
}

// 0.14
match color {
    Color::Srgba(Srgba { red, green, blue, alpha }) => {
        // Something cool here!
    },
    // If you explicitly match every possible color space, you may need to handle more variants.
    // Color::Xyza(Xyza { x, y, z, alpha }) => {
    //     // Something else even cooler here!
    // },
    _ => {}
}

Additionally, you must now use the From and Into implementations when converting between color spaces, as compared to the old helper methods such as as_rgba and as_hsla.

// 0.13
let color = Color::rgb(1.0, 0.0, 1.0).as_hsla();

// 0.14
let color: Hsla = Srgba::rgb(1.0, 0.0, 1.0).into();

Color methods #

Any mention of RGB has been renamed to sRGB. This includes the variant Color::Rgba turning into Color::Srgba as well as methods such as Color::rgb and Color::rgb_u8 turning into Color::srgb and Color::srgb_u8.

Methods to access specific channels of Color have been removed due to causing silent, relatively expensive conversions. This includes Color::r, Color::set_r, Color::with_r, and all of the equivalents for g, b h, s and l. Convert your Color into the desired color space, perform your operation there, and then convert it back.

// 0.13
let mut color = Color::rgb(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
color.set_b(1.0);

// 0.14
let color = Color::srgb(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
let srgba = Srgba {
    blue: 1.0,
    ..Srgba::from(color),
};
let color = Color::from(srgba);

Color::hex has been moved to Srgba::hex. Call .into() or construct a Color::Srgba variant manually to convert it.

Color::rgb_linear and Color::rgba_linear have been renamed Color::linear_rgb and Color::linear_rgba to fit the naming scheme of the LinearRgba struct.

Color::as_linear_rgba_f32 and Color::as_linear_rgba_u32 have been removed. Call LinearRgba::to_f32_array and LinearRgba::to_u32 instead, converting if necessary.

Several other color conversion methods to transform LCH or HSL colors into float arrays or Vec types have been removed. Please reimplement these externally or open a PR to re-add them if you found them particularly useful.

Vector field arithmetic operations on Color (add, subtract, multiply and divide by a f32) have been removed. Instead, convert your colors into LinearRgba space and perform your operations explicitly there. This is particularly relevant when working with emissive or HDR colors, whose color channel values are routinely outside of the ordinary 0 to 1 range.

Alpha #

Alpha, also known as transparency, used to be referred to by the letter a. It is now called by its full name within structs and methods.

  • Color::set_a, Color::with_a, and Color::a are now Color::set_alpha, Color::with_alpha, and Color::alpha. These are part of the new Alpha trait.
  • Additionally, Color::is_fully_transparent is now part of the Alpha.

CSS Constants #

The various CSS color constants are no longer stored directly on Color. Instead, they’re defined in the Srgba color space, and accessed via bevy::color::palettes. Call .into() on them to convert them into a Color for quick debugging use.

// 0.13
let color = Color::BLUE;

// 0.14
use bevy::color::palettes::css::BLUE;

let color = BLUE;

Please note that palettes::css is not necessarily 1:1 with the constants defined previously as some names and colors have been changed to conform with the CSS spec. If you need the same color as before, consult the table below or use the color values from the old constants.

Switch to LinearRgba #

WireframeMaterial, ExtractedUiNode, ExtractedDirectionalLight, ExtractedPointLight, ExtractedSpotLight, and ExtractedSprite now store a LinearRgba rather than a polymorphic Color. Furthermore, Color no longer implements AsBindGroup. You should store a LinearRgba instead to avoid conversion costs.

Make default behavior for BackgroundColor and BorderColor more intuitive #

Rendering
UI

BackgroundColor no longer tints the color of images in ImageBundle or ButtonBundle. Set UiImage::color to tint images instead. Furthermore, the new default texture for UiImage is now a transparent white square. Use UiImage::solid_color to quickly draw debug images. Finally, the default value for BackgroundColor and BorderColor is now transparent. Set the color to white manually to return to previous behavior.

Register missing types manually #

Reflection

Many external types are no longer registered into the type registry by Bevy's default plugin. Generally, only types used by other Bevy types (due to the new recursive registration) will be registered by default. If you were using reflection features with types from std or glam you may need to manually register them.

App::new().register_type::<DMat3>();

OnEnter state schedules now run before Startup schedules #

App
ECS

In Bevy 0.13, the [OnEnter] schedules for states initialized via [app.init_state] would run after any systems in the Startup schedules. This is because [apply_state_transitions] was only run during the [StateTransition] schedule.

This was a subtle bug: it was possible for the game to be in a particular state without having first entered it. Now, [OnEnter] state transition logic is handled immediately. See bevy#13968 for more context on this decision.

To migrate, choose one of the following options:

  1. Moving your startup systems to a state, as a variant of the state you're waiting for (e.g. AppState::Setup), and then transition out of it once the setup is complete.
  2. Moving your startup systems to a state, and making the other state a sub state that depends on the startup state's completion (e.g. SetupState::SetupComplete).
// 0.13
#[derive(States, Default)]
enum AppState {
    #[default]
    InMenu,
    InGame,
}

app
   .init_state::<AppState>()
   .add_systems(Startup, initial_setup)
   .add_systems(OnEnter(AppState::InMenu), relies_on_initial_setup);

// 0.14 (Solution 1)
#[derive(States, Default)]
enum AppState {
    // Make this the default instead of `InMenu`.
    #[default]
    Setup
    InMenu,
    InGame,
}

fn transition_to_in_menu(mut app_state: ResMut<NextState<AppState>>) {
    app_state.set(AppState::InMenu);
}

app
    .init_state::<AppState>()
    .add_systems(OnEnter(AppState::Setup), initial_setup)
    .add_system(Update, transition_to_in_menu.run_if(in_state(AppState::Setup)))
    .add_systems(OnEnter(AppState::InMenu), relies_on_initial_setup);

// 0.14 (Solution 2)
#[derive(States, Default)]
enum SetupState {
    #[default]
    SettingUp,
    SetupComplete,
}

#[derive(SubStates, Default)]
#[source(SetupState = SetupState::SetupComplete)]
enum AppState {
    #[default]
    InMenu,
    InGame,
}

fn finish_setup(mut app_state: ResMut<NextState<SetupState>>) {
    app_state.set(SetupState::SetupComplete);
}

app
    .init_state::<SetupState>()
    // Note that we don't call `init_state()` for substates!
    .add_sub_state::<AppState>()
    .add_systems(OnEnter(AppState::InitialSetup), initial_setup)
    .add_system(Update, finish_setup.run_if(in_state(AppState::Setup)))
    .add_systems(OnEnter(AppState::InMenu), relies_on_initial_setup);

Fix Node2d typo #

Node2d::ConstrastAdaptiveSharpening from bevy::core_pipeline::core_2d::graph has been renamed to fix a typo. It was originally Constrast, but is now Contrast.

// 0.13
Node2D::ConstrastAdaptiveSharpening

// 0.14
Node2D::ContrastAdaptiveSharpening

Update to fixedbitset 0.5 #

Access::grow from bevy::ecs::query has been removed. Many operations now automatically grow the capacity.

// 0.13
let mut access = Access::new();
access.grow(1);
// Other operations...

// 0.14
let mut access = Access::new();
// Other operations...

Move WASM panic handler from LogPlugin to PanicHandlerPlugin #

LogPlugin used to silently override the panic handler on WASM targets. This functionality has now been split out into the new PanicHandlerPlugin, which was added to DefaultPlugins.

If you want nicer error messages on WASM but don't use DefaultPlugins, make sure to manually add PanicHandlerPlugin to the app.

App::new()
    .add_plugins((MinimalPlugins, PanicHandlerPlugin))
    .run()

AnimationClip now uses UUIDs and NoOpTypeIdHash is now NoOpHash #

Animation

AnimationClip now uses UUIDs instead of hierarchical paths based on the Name component to refer to bones. This has several consequences:

  • A new component, AnimationTarget, should be placed on each bone that you wish to animate, in order to specify its UUID and the associated AnimationPlayer. The glTF loader automatically creates these components as necessary, so most uses of glTF rigs shouldn’t need to change.
  • Moving a bone around the tree, or renaming it, no longer prevents an AnimationPlayer from affecting it.
  • Dynamically changing the AnimationPlayer component will likely require manual updating of the AnimationTarget components.

Entities with AnimationPlayer components may now possess descendants that also have AnimationPlayer components. They may not, however, animate the same bones.

Furthermore, NoOpTypeIdHash and NoOpTypeIdHasher have been renamed to NoOpHash and NoOpHasher.

Implement the AnimationGraph to blend animations together #

Animation

AnimationPlayers can no longer play animations by themselves: they need to be paired with a Handle<AnimationGraph>. Code that used AnimationPlayer to play animations will need to create an AnimationGraph asset first, add a node for the clip (or clips) you want to play, and then supply the index of that node to the AnimationPlayer’s play method.

// 0.13
fn setup(mut commands: Commands, mut animations: ResMut<Assets<AnimationClip>>) {
    let mut animation = AnimationClip::default();

    // ...

    let mut player = AnimationPlayer::default();
    player.play(animations.add(animation));

    commands.spawn((
        player,
        // ...
    ));
}

// 0.14
fn setup(
    mut commands: Commands,
    mut animations: ResMut<Assets<AnimationClip>>,
    // You now need access to the `AnimationGraph` asset.
    mut graphs: ResMut<Assets<AnimationGraph>>,
) {
    let mut animation = AnimationClip::default();

    // ...

    // Create a new `AnimationGraph` and add the animation handle to it.
    let (graph, animation_index) = AnimationGraph::from_clip(animations.add(animation));

    let mut player = AnimationPlayer::default();
    // Play the animation index, not the handle.
    player.play(animation_index);

    commands.spawn((
        player,
        // Add the new `AnimationGraph` to the assets, and spawn the entity with its handle.
        graphs.add(graph),
        // ...
    ));
}

Furthermore, the AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition() method has been removed and replaced with the AnimationTransitions component. If you were previously using AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition(), add all animations that you were playing to the AnimationGraph and create an AnimationTransitions component to manage the blending between them.

For more information behind this change, you may be interested in RFC 51.

Multiplying colors by f32 no longer ignores alpha channel #

Animation
Color
Math
Rendering

It was previously possible to multiply and divide a Color by an f32, which is now removed. You must now operate on a specific color space, such as LinearRgba. Furthermore, these operations used to skip the alpha channel, but that is no longer the case.

// 0.13
let color = Color::RgbaLinear {
    red: 1.0,
    green: 1.0,
    blue: 1.0,
    alpha: 1.0,
} * 0.5;

// Alpha is preserved, ignoring the multiplier.
assert_eq!(color.a(), 1.0);

// 0.14
let color = LinearRgba {
    red: 1.0,
    green: 1.0,
    blue: 1.0,
    alpha: 1.0,
} * 0.5;

// Alpha is included in multiplication.
assert_eq!(color.alpha, 0.5);

If you need the alpha channel to remain untouched, consider creating your own helper method:

fn legacy_div_f32(color: &mut LinearRgba, scale: f32) {
    color.red /= scale;
    color.green /= scale;
    color.blue /= scale;
}

let mut color = LinearRgba {
    red: 1.0,
    green: 1.0,
    blue: 1.0,
    alpha: 1.0,
};

legacy_div_f32(&mut color, 2.0);

If you are fine with the alpha changing, but need it to remain within the range of 0.0 to 1.0, consider clamping it:

let mut color = LinearRgba {
    red: 1.0,
    green: 1.0,
    blue: 1.0,
    alpha: 1.0,
} * 10.0;

// Force alpha to be within [0.0, 1.0].
color.alpha = color.alpha.clamp(0.0, 1.0);

Note that in some cases, such as rendering sprites, the alpha is automatically clamped so you do not need to do it manually.

Separate SubApp from App #

App

SubApp has been separated from App, so there are a few larger changes involved when interacting with these types.

Constructing a SubApp #

SubApp no longer contains an App, so you no longer are able to convert an App into a SubApp. Furthermore, the extraction function must now be set outside of the constructor.

// 0.13
#[derive(AppLabel, Clone, Copy, Hash, PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
struct MySubApp;

let mut app = App::new();
let mut sub_app = App::empty();

sub_app.add_systems(Main, ...);
sub_app.insert_resource(...);

app.insert_sub_app(MySubApp, SubApp::new(sub_app, |main_world, sub_app| {
    // Extraction function.
}));

// 0.14
#[derive(AppLabel, Clone, Copy, Hash, PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
struct MySubApp;

let mut app = App::new();
// Use `SubApp::new()` instead of `App::new()`.
let mut sub_app = SubApp::new();

// Instead of setting the extraction function when you create the `SubApp`, you must set it
// afterwards. If you do not set an extraction function, it will do nothing.
sub_app.set_extract(|main_world, sub_world| {
    // Extraction function.
});

// You can still add systems and resources like normal.
sub_app.add_systems(Main, ...);
sub_app.insert_resource(...);

app.insert_sub_app(MySubApp, sub_app);

App changes #

App is not Send anymore, but SubApp still is.

Due to the separation of App and SubApp, a few other methods have been changed.

First, App::world as a property is no longer directly accessible. Instead use the getters App::world and App::world_mut.

#[derive(Component)]
struct MyComponent;

// 0.13
let mut app = App::new();
println!("{:?}", app.world.id());
app.world.spawn(MyComponent);

// 0.14
let mut app = App::new();
println!("{:?}", app.world().id()); // Notice the added paranthesese.
app.world_mut().spawn(MyComponent);

Secondly, all getters for the sub app now return a SubApp instead of an App. This includes App::sub_app, App::sub_app_mut, App::get_sub_app, and App::get_sub_app_mut.

#[derive(AppLabel, Clone, Copy, Hash, PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
struct MySubApp;

let mut app = App::new();
app.insert_sub_app(MySubApp, SubApp::new());

assert_eq!(app.sub_app(MySubApp).type_id(), TypeId::of::<SubApp>());

Finally, App::runner and App::main_schedule_label are now private. It is no longer possible to get the runner closure, but you can get the main schedule label using SubApp::update_schedule.

let app = App::new();
let label = app.main().update_schedule;

3rd-party traits on App #

If you implemented an extension trait on App, consider also implementing it on SubApp:

trait SpawnBundle {
    /// Spawns a new `Bundle` into the `World`.
    fn spawn_bundle<T: Bundle>(&mut self, bundle: T) -> &mut Self;
}

impl SpawnBundle for App {
    fn spawn_bundle<T: Bundle>(&mut self, bundle: T) -> &mut Self {
        self.world_mut().spawn(bundle);
        self
    }
}

/// `SubApp` has a very similar API to `App`, so the code will usually look the same.
impl SpawnBundle for SubApp {
    fn spawn_bundle<T: Bundle>(&mut self, bundle: T) -> &mut Self {
        self.world_mut().spawn(bundle);
        self
    }
}

Make AppExit more specific about exit reason #

App

The AppExit event is now an enum that represents whether the code exited successfully or not. If you construct it, you must now specify Success or Error:

// 0.13
fn send_exit(mut writer: EventWriter<AppExit>) {
    writer.send(AppExit);
}

// 0.14
fn send_exit(mut writer: EventWriter<AppExit>) {
    writer.send(AppExit::Success);
    // Or...
    writer.send(AppExit::Error(NonZeroU8::new(1).unwrap()));
}

If you subscribed to this event in a system, consider matching whether it was a success or an error:

// 0.13
fn handle_exit(mut reader: EventReader<AppExit>) {
    for app_exit in reader.read() {
        // Something interesting here...
    }
}

// 0.14
fn handle_exit(mut reader: EventReader<AppExit>) {
    for app_exit in reader.read() {
        match *app_exit {
            AppExit::Success => {
                // Something interesting here...
            },
            AppExit::Error(exit_code) => panic!("App exiting with an error! (Code: {exit_code})"),
        }
    }
}

Furthermore, App::run() now returns AppExit instead of the unit type (). Since AppExit implements Termination, you can now return it from the main function.

// 0.13
fn main() {
    App::new().run()
}

// 0.14
fn main() -> AppExit {
    App::new().run()
}

// 0.14 (alternative)
fn main() {
    // If you want to ignore `AppExit`, you can add a semicolon instead. :)
    App::new().run();
}

Finally, if you configured a custom App runner function, it will now have to return an AppExit.

let mut app = App::new();

app.set_runner(|_app| {
    // ...

    // Return success by default, though you may also return an error code.
    AppExit::Success
});

Deprecate dynamic plugins #

App

Dynamic plugins are now deprecated. If possible, remove all usage them from your code:

// 0.13
// This would be compiled into a separate dynamic library.
#[derive(DynamicPlugin)]
pub struct MyPlugin;

impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
    // ...
}

// This would be compiled into the main binary.
App::new()
    .load_plugin("path/to/plugin")
    .run()

// 0.14
// This would now be compiled into the main binary as well.
pub struct MyPlugin;

impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
    // ...
}

App::new()
    .add_plugins(MyPlugin)
    .run()

If you are unable to do that, you may temporarily silence the deprecation warnings by annotating all usage with #[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 may be interested in these safer, related links:

If you truly cannot go without dynamic plugins, you may copy the code from Bevy and add it to your project locally.

Move state initialization methods to bevy::state #

App
ECS

State has been moved to bevy::state. With it, App::init_state has been moved from a normal method to an extension trait. You may now need to import AppExtStates in order to use this method, if you don't use the prelude. (This trait is behind the bevy_state feature flag, which you may need to enable.)

// 0.13
App::new()
    .init_state::<MyState>()
    .run()

// 0.14
use bevy::state::app::AppExtStates as _;

App::new()
    .init_state::<MyState>()
    .run()

Remove the UpdateAssets and AssetEvents schedules #

Assets

The UpdateAssets schedule has been removed. If you add systems to this schedule, move them to run on PreUpdate. (You may need to configure the ordering with system.before(...) and system.after(...).)

// 0.13
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(UpdateAssets, my_system)
    .run()

// 0.14
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(PreUpdate, my_system)
    .run()

Furthermore, AssetEvents has been changed from a ScheduleLabel to a SystemSet within the First schedule.

// 0.13
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(AssetEvents, my_system)
    .run()

// 0.14
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(First, my_system.in_set(AssetEvents))
    .run()

Use async fn in traits rather than BoxedFuture #

Assets

In Rust 1.75, async fn was stabilized for traits. Some traits have been switched from returning BoxedFuture to be an async fn, specifically:

  • AssetReader
  • AssetWriter
  • AssetLoader
  • AssetSaver
  • Process

Please update your trait implementations:

// 0.13
impl AssetLoader for MyAssetLoader {
    // ...

    fn load<'a>(
        &'a self,
        reader: &'a mut Reader,
        _settings: &'a (),
        _load_context: &'a mut LoadContext,
    ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error>> {
        // Note that you had to pin the future.
        Box::pin(async move {
            let mut bytes = Vec::new();
            reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?;
            Ok(bytes)
        })
    }
}

// 0.14
impl AssetLoader for MyAssetLoader {
    // ...

    async fn load<'a>(
        &'a self,
        reader: &'a mut Reader<'_>,
        _settings: &'a (),
        _load_context: &'a mut LoadContext<'_>,
    ) -> Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error> {
        // No more need to pin the future, just write it!
        let mut bytes = Vec::new();
        reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?;
        Ok(bytes)
    }
}

Because these traits now use async, they are no longer object safe. If you need to receive or store &dyn Trait, use the &dyn ErasedTrait variant instead. For instance:

// 0.13
struct MyReader(Box<dyn AssetReader>);

// 0.14
struct MyReader(Box<dyn ErasedAssetReader>);

Add Ignore variant to ProcessResult #

Assets

The ProcessResult enum, used in asset loading, has a new Ignore variant. You may need to update your match statements.

Removed Into<AssetId<T>> for Handle<T> #

Assets

Converting from a Handle to an AssetId using Into was removed because it was a footgun that could potentially drop the asset if the Handle was a strong reference. If you need the AssetId, please use Handle::id() instead.

// 0.13
let id: AssetId<T> = handle.into();

// 0.14
let id = handle.id();

Add AsyncSeek trait to Reader to be able to seek inside asset loaders #

Assets

The asset loader's Reader type alias now requires the new AsyncSeek trait. Please implement AsyncSeek for any structures that must be a Reader, or use an alternative if seeking is not supported.

If this is a problem for you, please chime in at bevy#12880 and help us improve the design for 0.15!

Add error info to LoadState::Failed #

Assets

Rust prides itself on its error handling, and Bevy has been steadily catching up. Previously, when checking if an asset was loaded using AssetServer::load_state (and variants), the only information returned on an error was the empty LoadState::Failed. Not very useful for debugging!

Now, a full AssetLoadError is included inside Failed to tell you exactly what went wrong. You may need to update your match and if let statements to handle this new value:

// 0.13
match asset_server.load_state(asset_id) {
    // ...
    LoadState::Failed => eprintln!("Could not load asset!"),
}

// 0.14
match asset_server.load_state(asset_id) {
    // ...
    LoadState::Failed(error) => eprintln!("Could not load asset! Error: {}", error),
}

Furthermore, the Copy, PartialOrd, and Ord implementations have been removed from LoadState. You can explicitly call .clone() instead of copying the enum, and you can manually re-implement Ord as a helper method if required.

Make AssetMetaCheck a field of AssetPlugin #

Assets

AssetMetaCheck is used to configure how the AssetPlugin reads .meta files. It was previously a resource, but now has been changed to a field in AssetPlugin. If you use DefaultPlugins, you can use .set to configure this field.

// 0.13
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .insert_resource(AssetMetaCheck::Never)
    .run()

// 0.14
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin {
        meta_check: AssetMetaCheck::Never,
        ..default()
    }))
    .run()

Make LoadContext use the builder pattern #

Assets

LoadContext, used by AssetLoader, has been updated so all of its load_* methods have been merged into a builder struct.

// 0.13
load_context.load_direct(path);
// 0.14
load_context.loader().direct().untyped().load(path);

// 0.13
load_context.load_direct_with_reader(reader, path);
// 0.14
load_context.loader().direct().with_reader(reader).untyped().load(path);

// 0.13
load_context.load_untyped(path);
// 0.14
load_context.loader().untyped().load(path);

// 0.13
load_context.load_with_settings(path, settings);
// 0.14
load_context.loader().with_settings(settings).load(path);

Use RenderAssetUsages to configure gLTF meshes & materials during load #

Assets
Rendering

It is now possible configure whether meshes and materials should be loaded in the main world, the render world, or both with GltfLoaderSettings. The load_meshes field has been changed from a bool to a RenderAssetUsages bitflag, and a new load_materials field as been added.

You may need to update any gLTF .meta files:

// 0.13
load_meshes: true

// 0.14
load_meshes: ("MAIN_WORLD | RENDER_WORLD")

If you use AssetServer::load_with_settings instead when loading gLTF files, you will also have to update:

// 0.13
asset_server.load_with_settings("model.gltf", |s: &mut GltfLoaderSettings| {
    s.load_meshes = true;
});

// 0.14
asset_server.load_with_settings("model.gltf", |s: &mut GltfLoaderSettings| {
    s.load_meshes = RenderAssetUsages::MAIN_WORLD | RenderAssetUsages::RENDER_WORLD;
});

Consolidate RenderMaterials and similar into RenderAssets, implement RenderAsset for destination type #

Assets
Rendering

RenderMaterials, RenderMaterials2d, and RenderUiMaterials have all been replaced with the RenderAssets resource. If you need access a PreparedMaterial<T> using an AssetId, use RenderAssets::get instead.

Furthermore, the RenderAsset trait should now be implemented for destination types rather than source types. If you need to access the source type, use the RenderAsset::SourceAsset associated type.

// 0.13
impl RenderAsset for Image {
    type PreparedAsset = GpuImage;

    // ...
}

// 0.14
impl RenderAsset for GpuImage {
    type SourceAsset = Image;

    // ...
}

Fix leftover references to children when despawning audio entities #

Audio

You can configure the behavior of spawned audio with the PlaybackMode enum. One of its variants, PlaybackMode::Despawn, would despawn the entity when the audio finished playing.

There was previously a bug where this would only despawn the entity and not its children. This has been fixed, so now despawn_recursive() is called when the audio finishes.

If you relied on this behavior, consider using PlaybackMode::Remove to just remove the audio components from the entity or AudioSink::empty() to check whether any audio is finished and manually despawn() it.

Move WGSL math constants and color operations from bevy_pbr to bevy_render #

Color

Mathematical constants and color conversion functions for shaders have been moved from bevy_pbr::utils to bevy_render::maths and bevy_render::color_operations. If you depended on these in your own shaders, please update your import statements:

// 0.13
#import bevy_pbr::utils::{PI, rgb_to_hsv}

// 0.14
#import bevy_render::{maths::PI, color_operations::rgb_to_hsv}

Remove old color space utilities #

Color
Rendering

The SrgbColorSpace trait, HslRepresentation struct, and LchRepresentation struct have been removed in favor of the specific color space structs.

For SrgbColorSpace, use Srgba::gamma_function() and Srgba::gamma_function_inverse(). If you used the SrgbColorSpace implementation for u8, convert it to an f32 first:

// 14 is random, this could be any number.
let nonlinear: u8 = 14;

// Apply gamma function, converting `u8` to `f32`.
let linear: f32 = Srgba::gamma_function(nonlinear as f32 / 255.0);

// Convert back to a `u8`.
let linear: u8 = (linear * 255.0) as u8;

Note that this conversion can be costly, especially if called during the Update schedule. Consider just using f32 instead.

HslRepresentation and LchRepresentation can be replaced with the From implementations between Srgba, Hsla, and Lcha.

// 0.13
let srgb = HslRepresentation::hsl_to_nonlinear_srgb(330.0, 0.7, 0.8);
let lch = LchRepresentation::nonlinear_srgb_to_lch([0.94, 0.66, 0.8]);

// 0.14
let srgba: Srgba = Hsla::new(330.0, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0).into();
let lcha: Lcha = Srgba::new(0.94, 0.66, 0.8, 1.0).into();

Use LinearRgba in ColorAttachment #

Color
Rendering

ColorAttachment::new() now takes Option<LinearRgba> instead of Option<Color> for the clear_color. You can use the From<Color> implementation to convert your color.

let clear_color: Option<LinearRgba> = Some(color.into());

Remove close_on_esc #

Dev-Tools

The close_on_esc system was removed because it was too opiniated and lacked customization. If you used this system, you may copy its contents below:

pub fn close_on_esc(
    mut commands: Commands,
    focused_windows: Query<(Entity, &Window)>,
    input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>,
) {
    for (window, focus) in focused_windows.iter() {
        if !focus.focused {
            continue;
        }

        if input.just_pressed(KeyCode::Escape) {
            commands.entity(window).despawn();
        }
    }
}

You may be interested in using the built-in keybinds provided by the operating system instead, such as Alt+F4 and Command+Q.

Make sysinfo diagnostic plugin optional #

Diagnostics

bevy::diagnostic depends on the sysinfo to track CPU and memory usage using SystemInformationDiagnosticsPlugin, but compiling and polling system information can be very slow. sysinfo is now behind the sysinfo_plugin feature flag, which is enabled by default for bevy for not for bevy_diagnostic.

If you depend on bevy_diagnostic directly, toggle the flag in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy_diagnostic = { version = "0.14", features = ["sysinfo_plugin"] }

If you set default-features = false for bevy, do the same in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy = { version = "0.14", default-features = false, features = ["sysinfo_plugin"] }

Improve tracing layer customization #

Diagnostics

Bevy uses tracing to handle logging and spans through LogPlugin. This could be customized with the update_subscriber field, but it was highly restrictive. This has since been amended, replacing the update_subscriber field with the more flexible custom_layer, which returns a Layer.

// 0.13
fn update_subscriber(_app: &mut App, subscriber: BoxedSubscriber) -> BoxedSubscriber {
    Box::new(subscriber.with(CustomLayer))
}

App::new()
    .add_plugins(LogPlugin {
        update_subscriber: Some(update_subscriber),
        ..default()
    })
    .run();

// 0.14
use bevy::log::tracing_subscriber;

fn custom_layer(_app: &mut App) -> Option<BoxedLayer> {
    // You can provide a single layer:
    return Some(CustomLayer.boxed());

    // Or you can provide multiple layers, since `Vec<Layer>` also implements `Layer`:
    Some(Box::new(vec![
        tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer()
            .with_file(true)
            .boxed(),
        CustomLayer.boxed(),
    ]))
}

App::new()
    .add_plugins(LogPlugin {
        custom_layer,
        ..default()
    })
    .run();

The BoxedSubscriber type alias has also been removed, it was replaced by the BoxedLayer type alias.

Generalised ECS reactivity with Observers #

ECS

In 0.14, ECS observers were introduced: mechanisms for immediately responding to events in the world. As part of this change, the Event trait was extended to require Component. #[derive(Event)] now automatically implements Component for the annotated type, which can break types that also #[derive(Component)].

// 0.13
#[derive(Event, Component)]
struct MyEvent;

// 0.14
// `Component` is still implemented by the `Event` derive.
#[derive(Event)]
struct MyEvent;

For more information, see the release notes on hooks and observers.

Immediately apply deferred system params in System::run #

ECS

The default implementation of System::run will now always immediately run System::apply_deferred. If you were manually calling System::apply_deferred in this situation, you may remove it. Please note that System::run_unsafe still does not call apply_deferred because it cannot guarantee it will be safe.

// 0.13
system.run(world);

// Sometime later:
system.apply_deferred(world);

// 0.14
system.run(world);

// `apply_deferred` no longer needs to be called!

Move Command and CommandQueue into bevy::ecs::world #

ECS

Command and CommandQueue have been moved from bevy::ecs::system to bevy::ecs::world. If you import them directly, you will need to update your import statements.

// 0.13
use bevy::ecs::system::{Command, CommandQueue};

// 0.14
use bevy::ecs::world::{Command, CommandQueue};

Make Component::Storage a constant #

ECS

The Component::Storage associated type has been replaced with the associated constant STORAGE_TYPE, making the ComponentStorage trait unnecessary. If you were manually implementing Component instead of using the derive macro, update your definitions:

// 0.13
impl Component for MyComponent {
    type Storage = TableStorage;
}

// 0.14
impl Component for MyComponent {
    const STORAGE_TYPE: StorageType = StorageType::Table;

    // ...
}
BeforeAfter
TableStorageStorageType::Table
SparseStorageStorageType::SparseSet

Component is also now no longer object safe. If you were using dyn Component, please consider filing an issue describing your use-case.

Don't store Access<ArchetypeComponentId> within QueryState #

ECS

QueryState no longer stores an Access<ArchetypeComponentId>, you must now pass it as an argument to each method that uses it. To account for this change:

  • QueryState::archetype_component_access has been removed. You can work around this by accessing the surrounding SystemStates instead.
  • QueryState::new_archetype and QueryState::update_archetype_component_access now require an &mut Access<ArchetypeComponentId> as a parameter.

Remove WorldCell #

ECS

WorldCell has been removed due to its incomplete nature, tendency to generate runtime panics, and the presence of multiple good alternatives. If you were using it to fetch multiple distinct resource values, consider using a SystemState instead with the SystemState::get() method.

If SystemState does not fit your use-case and unsafe is tolerable, you can use UnsafeWorldCell. It is more performant and featureful, but lacks the runtime checks.

Return iterator instead of slice for QueryState::matched_tables and QueryState::matches_archtypes #

ECS

QueryState::matched_tables and QueryState::matched_archetypes now return iterators instead of slices. If possible, use the combinators available from the Iterator trait. In a worst-case scenario you may call Iterator::collect() into a Vec, which can then be converted into a slice.

Remove system stepping from default features #

ECS

The system stepping feature is now disabled by default. It generally should not be included in shipped games, and adds a small but measurable performance overhead. To enable it, add the bevy_debug_stepping feature to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy = { version = "0.14", features = ["bevy_debug_stepping"] }

Code using Stepping will still compile with the feature disabled, but will print an error message at runtime if the application calls Stepping::enable().

Optimize event updates and virtual time #

ECS

Events::update() has been optimized to be O(1) for the amount of events registered. In doing so, a few systems and run conditions have been changed.

Events are registered to a World using EventRegistry instead of the Events resource:

// 0.13
world.insert_resource(Events::<MyEvent>::default());

// 0.14
EventRegistry::register_event::<MyEvent>(&mut world);

A few systems and run conditions have been changed as well:

  • event_update_system no longer uses generics and now has different arguments.
  • signal_event_update_system now has different arguments.
  • reset_event_update_signal_system has been removed.
  • event_update_condition now has different arguments.

While not related to events, the virtual_time_system has been changed as well. It has been converted from a system to a regular function, and now takes &T and &mut T instead of Res<T> and ResMut<T>.

Make SystemParam::new_archetype and QueryState::new_archetype unsafe #

ECS

QueryState::new_archetype and SystemParam::new_archetype are now unsafe functions because they do not ensure that the provided Archetype is from the same World that the state was initialized from. You will need to wrap any usage inside of an unsafe block, and you may need to write additional assertions to verify correct usage.

Better SystemId and Entity conversion #

ECS

If you need to access the underlying Entity for a one-shot system's SystemId, use the new SystemId::entity() method.

// 0.13
let system_id = world.register_system(my_system);
let entity = Entity::from(system_id);

// 0.14
let system_id = world.register_system(my_system);
let entity = system_id.entity();

Make NextState an enum #

ECS

NextState has been converted from a unit struct to an enum. If you accessed the internal Option directly, whether through NextState::0 or matching, you will have to update your code to handle this change.

// 0.13
let state = next_state.0.unwrap();

// 0.14
let NextState::Pending(state) = next_state else { panic!("No pending next state!") };
0.130.14
NextState(Some(S))NextState::Pending(S)
NextState(None)NextState::Unchanged

Separate states from core ECS #

ECS

States were moved to a separate crate which is gated behind the bevy_state feature. Projects that use state but don't use Bevy's default-features will need to add this feature to their Cargo.toml.

Projects that use bevy_ecs directly and use states will need to add the bevy_state crate as a dependency.

Projects that use bevy_app directly and use states will need to add the bevy_state feature.

If you do not use DefaultPlugins, you will need to add the StatesPlugin manually to your app.

Users should update imports that referenced the old location.

// 0.13
use bevy::ecs::schedule::{NextState, OnEnter, OnExit, OnTransition, State, States};
use bevy::ecs::schedule::common_conditions::in_state;

// 0.14
use bevy::state::state::{NextState, OnEnter, OnExit, OnTransition, State, States}
use bevy::state::condition::in_state;

Constrain WorldQuery::get_state() to only accept Components #

ECS

A few methods of WorldQuery and QueryState were unsound because they were passed an &World. They are now restricted to just take an &Components. The affected methods are:

  • WorldQuery::get_state()
  • QueryState::transmute()
  • QueryState::transmute_filtered()
  • QueryState::join()
  • QueryState::join_filtered()

To access Components from a World, call World::components().

If you manually implemented WorldQuery, you need to update get_state() to only use the information provided by Components.

Unify state transition names to exited and entered #

ECS

StateTransitionEvent's before and after fields have been renamed to exited and entered for consistency. You will have to update your usage if you access these fields or construct StateTransitionEvent.

Make apply_state_transition private #

ECS

The apply_state_transition system is no longer public. The easiest way to migrate your systems that depended on it for ordering is to create a custom schedule.

// 0.13
App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(StateTransition, my_system.after(apply_state_transition))
    .run()

// 0.14
#[derive(ScheduleLabel, Debug, Hash, PartialEq, Eq, Clone)]
struct AfterStateTransition;

let mut app = App::new();

app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(AfterStateTransition, my_system);

// Create a new schedule and add it to the app.
let after_state_transition = Schedule::new(AfterStateTransition);
app.add_schedule(after_state_transition);

// Modify the schedule order to make this run after `StateTransition`.
app.world_mut()
    .resource_mut::<MainScheduleOrder>()
    .insert_after(StateTransition, AfterStateTransition);

app.run()

Replace FromWorld requirement with FromReflect on ReflectResource #

ECS
Reflection

#[reflect(Resource)] now requires the FromReflect trait to be implemented for your resource. This is done by default if you use #[derive(Reflect)], but you structs that opt-out of this behavior will have to write their own implementation. FromReflect was added to replace the FromWorld requirement, though FromReflect is fallible. You may wish to add #[reflect(FromWorld)] to your resources to maintain an infallible variant.

Finally, if you use the ReflectResource struct you will need to pass a &TypeRegistry to its insert, apply_or_insert, and copy methods.

Make ReflectComponentFns and ReflectBundleFns methods work with EntityMut #

ECS
Reflection

ReflectComponentFns and ReflectBundleFns have been updated to work with EntityMut, as compared to the more restricting EntityWorldMut. You will have to update your usage of ReflectComponentFns::apply, ReflectComponentFns::reflect_mut, and ReflectBundleFns::apply.

If you just use ReflectComponent and ReflectBundle, you will not have change your code because EntityWorldMut implements Into<EntityMut>.

Require TypeRegistry in ReflectBundle::insert() #

ECS
Reflection

ReflectBundle::insert now requires an additional &TypeRegistry parameter.

Rename multi-threaded feature to multi_threaded #

ECS
Tasks

The multi-threaded feature has been renamed to multi_threaded for bevy, bevy_asset, bevy_ecs, bevy_render, bevy_tasks, and bevy_internal. Please update your Cargo.toml if you manually specify Bevy features.

Moves intern and label modules from bevy::utils to bevy::ecs #

ECS
Utils

The bevy::utils::label and bevy::utils::intern modules have been moved to bevy::ecs, as well as the bevy::utils::define_label macro as part of an active effort to shrink bevy::utils. You will have to update your import statements to use the new paths.

Gizmo line joints #

Gizmos

Line joins have been added for gizmos, allowing for smooth or sharp corners between lines. If you manually created your own GizmoConfig, you will have to specify the type of line joins with the line_joins field.

The Default implementation of GizmoLineJoint is None, but you may be interested in Miter for sharp joints or Round for smooth joints.

Gizmo line styles #

Gizmos

It is now possible to configure the line style (such as solid or dotted) of gizmos using GizmoConfig::line_style. If you manually create a GizmoConfig, you will have to specify this field.

Rename segments() methods to resolution() #

Gizmos

All gizmo methods named segments() have been rename to resolution() in order to be consistent with bevy::render.

Make gizmos take primitives as a reference #

Gizmos

Gizmos::primitive_2d() and Gizmos::primitive_3d() now take the primitive as a reference so that non-Copy primitives do not need to be cloned each time they are drawn.

// 0.13
fn draw(mut gizmos: Gizmos) {
    let polygon = Polygon {
        vertices: [
            // ...
        ],
    };

    // Since `Polygon` is not `Copy`, you would need to clone it if you use it more than once.
    gizmos.primitive_2d(polygon.clone(), Vec2::ZERO, 0.0, Color::WHITE);
    gizmos.primitive_2d(polygon, Vec2::ONE, 0.0, Color::BLACK);
}

// 0.14
fn draw(mut gizmos: Gizmos) {
    let polygon = Polygon {
        vertices: [
            // ...
        ],
    };

    // No need to clone the polygon anymore!
    gizmos.primitive_2d(&polygon, Vec2::ZERO, 0.0, Color::WHITE);
    gizmos.primitive_2d(&polygon, Vec2::ONE, 0.0, Color::BLACK);
}

More gizmos builders #

Gizmos

Gizmos::primitive_2d(CIRLCE), Gizmos::primitive_2d(ELLIPSE), Gizmos::primitive_2d(ANNULUS), and Gizmos::primitive_3d(SPHERE) now return their corresponding builders instead of the unit type (). Furthermore, SphereBuilder::circle_segments() has been renamed to resolution().

Rename touchpad input to gesture #

Input

In a recent winit update, touchpad events can now be triggered on mobile. To account for this, touchpad-related items have been renamed to gestures:

  • bevy::input::touchpad has been renamed to bevy::input::gestures.
  • TouchpadMagnify has been renamed to PinchGesture.
  • TouchpadRotate has been renamed to RotationGesture.

Deprecate ReceivedCharacter #

Input
Windowing

ReceivedCharacter is now deprecated due to winit reworking their keyboard system, switch to using KeyboardInput instead.

// 0.13
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<ReceivedCharacter>) {
    for event in events.read() {
        info!("{}", event.char);
    }
}

// 0.14
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<KeyboardInput>) {
    for event in events.read() {
        // Only check for characters when the key is pressed.
        if !event.state.is_pressed() {
            continue;
        }

        // Note that some keys such as `Space` and `Tab` won't be detected as a character.
        // Instead, check for them as separate enum variants.
        match &event.logical_key {
            Key::Character(character) => {
                info!("{} pressed.", character);
            },
            Key::Space => {
                info!("Space pressed.");
            },
            _ => {},
        }
    }
}

Add WinitEvent::KeyboardFocusLost #

Input
Windowing

WinitEvent has a new enum variant: WinitEvent::KeyboardFocusLost. This was added as part of a fix where key presses would stick when losing focus of the Bevy window, such as with Alt + Tab. Please update any match statements.

Move direction types out of bevy::math::primitives #

Math

The Direction2d, Direction3d, and InvalidDirectionError types have been moved from bevy::math::primitives to bevy::math.

// 0.13
use bevy::math::primitives::{Direction2d, Direction3d, InvalidDirectionError};

// 0.14
use bevy::math::{Direction2d, Direction3d, InvalidDirectionError};

Rename Direction2d/3d to Dir2/3 #

Math

The Direction2d and Direction3d types have been renamed to Dir2 and Dir3. They have been shortened to make them easier to type, and to make them consistent with glam's shorter naming scheme (e.g. Vec2, Mat4).

Make cardinal splines include endpoints #

Math

There was a bug in CubicCardinalSpline where the curve would only pass through the interior control points, not the points at the beginning and end. (For an in-depth analysis, see this issue.) This has been fixed so that the curve passes through all control points, but it may break behavior you were depending on.

If you rely on the old behavior of CubicCardinalSpline, you will have to truncate any parametrizations you used in order to access a curve identical to the one you had previously. This can be done by chopping off a unit-distance segment from each end of the parametrizing interval. For instance, if your code looks as follows:

fn interpolate(t: f32) -> Vec2 {
    let points = [
        vec2(-1.0, -20.0),
        vec2(3.0, 2.0),
        vec2(5.0, 3.0),
        vec2(9.0, 8.0),
    ];
    let my_curve = CubicCardinalSpline::new(0.3, points).to_curve();
    my_curve.position(t)
}

Then in order to obtain similar behavior, t will need to be shifted up by 1 (since the output of CubicCardinalSpline::to_curve has introduced a new segment in the interval [0,1]), displacing the old segment from [0,1] to [1,2]:

fn interpolate(t: f32) -> Vec2 {
    let points = [
        vec2(-1.0, -20.0),
        vec2(3.0, 2.0),
        vec2(5.0, 3.0),
        vec2(9.0, 8.0),
    ];
    let my_curve = CubicCardinalSpline::new(0.3, points).to_curve();
    // Add 1 here to restore original behavior.
    my_curve.position(t + 1)
}

(Note that this does not provide identical output for values of t outside of the interval [0,1].)

On the other hand, any user who was specifying additional endpoint tangents simply to get the curve to pass through the right points (i.e. not requiring exactly the same output) can simply omit the endpoints that were being supplied only for control purposes.

Replace Point with VectorSpace #

Math

The Point trait has been replaced by VectorSpace. These traits are very similar, with a few minor changes:

  • VectorSpace implementations must now provide the ZERO constant.
  • VectorSpace now requires the Div<f32, Output = Self> and Neg trait bounds.
  • VectorSpace no longer requires the Add<f32, Output = Self>, Sum, and PartialEq trait bounds.

For most cases you can replace all Point usage with VectorSpace, but you may have to make further changes if you depend on anything in the list above.

UV-mapping change for Triangle2d #

Math

The UV-mapping of Triangle2d has changed with this PR: the main difference is that the UVs are no longer dependent on the triangle’s absolute coordinates but instead follow translations of the triangle itself in its definition. If you depended on the old UV-coordinates for Triangle2d, then you will have to update affected areas to use the new ones which can be briefly described as follows:

  • The first coordinate is parallel to the line between the first two vertices of the triangle.
  • The second coordinate is orthogonal to this, pointing in the direction of the third point.

Generally speaking, this means that the first two points will have coordinates [_, 0.], while the third coordinate will be [_, 1.], with the exact values depending on the position of the third point relative to the first two. For acute triangles, the first two vertices always have UV-coordinates [0., 0.] and [1., 0.] respectively. For obtuse triangles, the third point will have coordinate [0., 1.] or [1., 1.], with the coordinate of one of the two other points shifting to maintain proportionality.

For example:

  • The default Triangle2d has UV-coordinates [0., 0.], [0., 1.], [0.5, 1.].
  • The triangle with vertices vec2(0., 0.), vec2(1., 0.), vec2(2., 1.) has UV-coordinates [0., 0.], [0.5, 0.], [1., 1.].
  • The triangle with vertices vec2(0., 0.), vec2(1., 0.), vec2(-2., 1.) has UV-coordinates [2./3., 0.], [1., 0.], [0., 1.].

Use Vec3A for 3D bounding volumes and raycasts #

Math

Aabb3d, BoundingSphere, and RayCast3d now use Vec3A instead of Vec3 internally. Vec3A is the SIMD-accelerated form of Vec3, so it should provide performance improvements without visible changes in behavior.

If you manually construct any of the affected structs, you will have to convert into a Vec3A.

// 0.13
let x = Vec3::new(5.0, -2.0);

let aabb = Aabb3d {
    min: Vec3::ZERO,
    max: x,
};

// 0.14
let x = Vec3::new(5.0, -2.0);

let aabb = Aabb3d {
    // Both variants are very similar, so you can usually replace `Vec3` with `Vec3A`.
    min: Vec3A::ZERO,
    // In cases where you cannot, use the `From` and `Into` traits.
    max: x.into(),
};

Update glam to 0.27 #

Math

glam has been updated from 0.25 to 0.27. Please view the changelog for both 0.26 and 0.27 to update your code.

The largest breaking change is that the fract() method for vector types now evaluates as self - self.trunc() instead of self - self.floor(). If you require the old behavior, use the fract_gl() method instead.

Common MeshBuilder trait #

Math
Rendering

All shape mesh builders (ConeMeshBuilder, PlaneMeshBuilder, etc.) have a method build() for converting into a Mesh. This method has been made into a common trait MeshBuilder. You will need to import this trait if you use build() but do not use the prelude.

Add angle range to TorusMeshBuilder #

Math
Rendering

TorusMeshBuilder is no longer Copy because it contains a RangeInclusive (x..=y) for the angle range. You will need to call clone() manually in any scenario where it was implicitly copied before.

Add subdivisions to PlaneMeshBuilder #

Math
Rendering

In 0.13 the Plane type was deprecated in favor of Plane2d and Plane3d. The new plane types did not provide a method for subdivision, which is now amended.

If you used the Plane::subdivisions property, you now need to convert a Plane3d into a PlaneMeshBuilder.

// 0.13
let plane = Plane {
    subdivisions: 10,
    ..default()
};

// 0.14
let plane = Plane3d::default().mesh().subdivisions(10);

Make Transform::rotate_axis and Transform::rotate_local_axis use Dir3 #

Math
Transform

Transform::rotate_axis() and Transform::rotate_local_axis() now require a Dir3 instead of a Vec3 because the axis is expected to be normalized. In general you can call Dir3::new() with a Vec3, which will automatically normalize it, though you must handle the Result in case the vector is invalid.

Note that most constants like Vec3::X have a corresponding Dir3 variant, such as Dir3::X.

Use Dir3 for local axis methods in GlobalTransform #

Math
Transform

The GlobalTransform component's directional axis methods (right(), left(), up(), down(), back(), forward()) have been updated from returning a Vec3 to a Dir3. Dir3 implements Deref<Target = Vec>, but if you need mutable access you can call Vec3::from().

Fix Ord and PartialOrd differing for FloatOrd #

Math
Utils

FloatOrd's PartialOrd implementation used to differ in behavior from its Ord implementation, but it has since been fixed so they both now match. The current implementation of PartialOrd will never return None, as it now falls back to the Ord implementation. If you depended on this mismatched behavior, consider using the PartialOrd implementation on the inner f32.

Move FloatOrd into bevy::math #

Math
Utils

FloatOrd has been moved to into the bevy::math module. Please update your import statements:

// 0.13
use bevy::utils::FloatOrd;

// 0.14
use bevy::math::FloatOrd;

Change ReflectSerialize trait bounds #

Reflection

ReflectSerialize now requires the TypePath and FromReflect trait bounds instead of Reflect. You will have to implement these traits if you previously opted-out of them. For instance, if you used #[reflect(type_path = false)] or #[reflect(from_reflect = false)], you will have to remove them.

Recursive registration of types #

Reflection

It is now possible to recursively register types, but in doing so all (unignored) reflected fields need to implement GetTypeRegistration. This is automatically done when Reflect is derived, but manual implementations will need to also implement GetTypeRegistration.

#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo<T: FromReflect> {
    data: MyCustomType<T>
}

// 0.13
impl<T: FromReflect> Reflect for MyCustomType<T> {
    // ...
}

// 0.14
impl<T: FromReflect + GetTypeRegistration> Reflect for MyCustomType<T> {
    // ...
}

impl<T: FromReflect + GetTypeRegistration> GetTypeRegistration for MyCustomType<T> {
    // ...
}

Rename UntypedReflectDeserializer to ReflectDeserializer #

Reflection

UntypedReflectDeserializer has been renamed to ReflectDeserializer. Any usage will need to be updated accordingly:

// 0.13
let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(&registry);

// 0.14
let reflect_deserializer = ReflectDeserializer::new(&registry);

Implement Reflect for Result as an enum #

Reflection

Result's Reflect implementation has been changed to make it a ReflectKind::Enum instead of a ReflectKind::Value. This increases its consistency with Option and allows for inspection of its contents.

Now, Result<T, E> no longer requires both T and E to be Clone, but instead requires them to implement FromReflect. Additionally, <Result<T, E> as Reflect>::reflect_* now returns the Enum variant instead of Value.

Serialize scene with &TypeRegistry and rename serialize_ron() to serialize() #

Reflection
Scenes

SceneSerializer and all related serialization helpers now take &TypeRegistry instead of &TypeRegistryArc. You can access the former from the latter with TypeRegistryArc::read().

Furthermore, DynamicScene::serialize_ron() has been renamed to serialize(). This has been done to highlight that this function is not about serializing into RON specifically, but rather the official Bevy scene format (.scn / .scn.ron). This leaves room to change the format in the future, if need be.

// 0.13
let world = World::new();
let scene = DynamicScene::from_world(&world);

let type_registry_arc: &TypeRegistryArc = &**world.resource::<AppTypeRegistry>();

let serialized_scene = scene.serialize_ron(type_registry_arc).unwrap();

// 0.14
let world = World::new();
let scene = DynamicScene::from_world(&world);

let type_registry_arc: &TypeRegistryArc = &**world.resource::<AppTypeRegistry>();

// We now need to retrieve the inner `TypeRegistry`.
let type_registry = type_registry_arc.read();

// `serialize_ron` has been renamed to `serialize`, and now takes a reference to `TypeRegistry`.
let serialized_scene = scene.serialize(&type_registry).unwrap();

Rename Camera3dBundle::dither to deband_dither #

Rendering

Camera3dBundle::dither has been renamed to deband_dither to make it consistent with Camera2dBundle. If you construct or access this field, you will have to update your usage.

Rename affine_to_square() to affine3_to_square() #

Rendering

The affine_to_square() shader function has been renamed to affine3_to_square, in order to give room for affine2_to_square. Please update your import statements and usages accordingly. (Note that this is not Rust, but instead WGSL.)

// 0.13
#import bevy_render::maths::affine_to_square

// 0.14
#import bevy_render::maths::affine3_to_square

Move AlphaMode into bevy::render #

Rendering

AlphaMode has been moved from bevy::pbr to bevy::render. If you import them directly, you will need to update your import statements.

// 0.13
use bevy::pbr::AlphaMode;

// 0.14
use bevy::render::alpha::AlphaMode;

Use UVec2 when working with texture dimensions #

Rendering

GpuImage, TextureAtlasLayout, TextureAtlasBuilder, DynamicAtlasTextureBuilder, and FontAtlas have been changed to store their dimensions in integers rather than floating point numbers, in order to increase consistency with the underlying texture data. Instances of Vec2 and Rect have been replaced with UVec2 and URect.

Migrating this is tricky because the conversion from f32 to u32 is lossy. If you work with constants, you can simply rewrite the code. If you work with user input, you could choose to simply discard the decimal (1.4 as u32) or round it first (1.83.round() as u32).

Fix CameraProjectionPlugin not implementing Plugin in some cases #

Rendering

There was a bug with CameraProjectionPlugin<T> where it would sometimes not implement Plugin if T did not implement Component and GetTypeRegistration. This has now been fixed by requiring T: CameraProjection + Component + GetTypeRegistration.

Replace random1D() with rand_f() shader function #

Rendering

The bevy_pbr::utils::random1D() shader function has been replaced by the similar bevy_pbr::utils::rand_f(). Note that if you convert the returned f32 to a different data type, you may be interested in rand_u() which returns a u32 and rand_vec2f() which returns a vec2<f32>.

Intern mesh vertex buffer layouts #

Rendering

Duplicate MeshVertexBufferLayouts are now combined into a single object, MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef, which contains an atomically-reference-counted (Arc) pointer to the layout. By interning these layouts, the results of PartialEq can be cached, resulting in a speedup in rendering. Code that was using MeshVertexBufferLayout may need to be updated to use MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef instead.

Make GpuArrayBufferIndex::index a u32 #

Rendering

GpuArrayBufferIndex::index is now a u32 instead of a NonMaxU32, since restricting the number isn't necessary anymore. Please update any usage to use u32 instead.

Allow disabling shadows through MaterialPlugin #

Rendering

MaterialPlugin now has a shadows_enabled property. If you manually constructed this plugin, you may need to set it. By default it is true, but you can disable shadows entirely by setting it to false.

Remove SpritePipeline::COLORED #

Rendering

The COLORED flag of SpritePipelineKey has been removed, since it is no longer used. In doing so, the raw values of HDR, TONEMAP_IN_SHADER, and DEBAND_DITHER have changed. If you are manually converting a u32 into SpritePipelineKey, you may need to update it.

Sorted and binned render phase items, resources, and non-meshes #

Rendering

Usage of PhaseItem has been split into BinnedPhaseItem and SortedPhaseItem. If you have custom PhaseItems you will need to choose one of the new types. Notably some phases must be Sorted (such as Transparent and Transmissive), while others can be Binned. Effectively Sorted is "what Bevy did before" and Binned is new, and the point of this change is to avoid sorting when possible for improved performance.

If you're looking for a quick migration, consider picking SortedPhaseItem which requires the fewest code changes.

If you're looking for higher performance (and your phase doesn’t require sorting) you may want to pick BinnedPhaseItem. Notably bins are populated based on BinKey and everything in the same bin is potentially batchable.

If you are only consuming these types, then a Query for a type like &mut RenderPhase<Transparent2d> will become a Resource as such:

mut transparent_render_phases: ResMut<ViewSortedRenderPhases<Transparent2d>>

ViewSortedRenderPhases and ViewBinnedRenderPhases are used in accordance with which phase items you're trying to access (sorted or binned).

Examples of SortedPhaseItemss:

  • Transmissive3d
  • Transparent2d
  • Transparent3d
  • TransparentUi

Examples of BinnedPhaseItems include:

  • Opaque3d
  • Opaque3dPrepass
  • Opaque3dDeferred
  • AlphaMask3d
  • AlphaMask3dPrepass
  • AlphaMask3dDeferred
  • Shadow

If you do not have a mesh (such as for GPU-driven particles or procedural generation) and want to use the new binned behavior, the BinnedRenderPhase includes a non_mesh_items collection which correlates with the BinnedRenderPhaseType. This type is used when adding items to the BinnedRenderPhase.

It may be additionally useful to checkout the new custom_phase_item example which details some of the new APIs.

GPU frustum culling #

Rendering

For PhaseItems, the dynamic_offset: Option<NonMaxU32> field is now extra_index: PhaseItemExtraIndex, which wraps a u32. Instead of None, use PhaseItemExtraIndex::NONE.

This change affects AlphaMask3d, AlphaMask3dDeferred, AlphaMask3dPrepass, Opaque2d, Opaque3dDeferred, Opaque3dPrepass, Shadow, Transmissive3d, Transparent2d, Transparent3d, and TransparentUi.

Remove DeterministicRenderingConfig #

Rendering

DeterministicRenderingConfig has been removed because its only property, stable_sort_z_fighting, is no longer needed. Z-fighting has been generally removed now that opaque items are binned instead of sorted.

Optimize queue_material_meshes and remove some bit manipulation #

Rendering

The primitive_topology field on GpuMesh is now an getter method: GpuMesh::primitive_topology().

For performance reasons, MeshPipelineKey has been split into BaseMeshPipelineKey, which lives in bevy::render, and MeshPipelineKey, which lives in bevy::pbr. These two may be combined with bitwise-or to produce the final MeshPipelineKey.

let base_pipeline_key = BaseMeshPipelineKey::all();
let pbr_pipeline_key = MeshPipelineKey::all();

let pipeline_key: u64 = base_pipeline_key.bits() | pbr_pipeline_key.bits();

Disable RAY_QUERY and RAY_TRACING_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE by default #

Rendering

The RAY_QUERY and RAY_TRACING_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE wgpu features are now disabled by default, due to some users having their program crash while initializing. (The wgpu issue for this can be found here.)

If you use these features, you will need to re-enable them through WgpuSettings::features:

let mut settings = WgpuSettings::default();

// Enable `RAY_QUERY` and `RAY_TRACING_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE`, along with the defaults.
settings.features |= WgpuFeatures::RAY_QUERY | WgpuFeatures::RAY_TRACING_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE;

App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(RenderPlugin {
        render_creation: settings.into(),
        ..default()
    }))
    .run()

Note that WgpuSettings::default() automatically configures good default flags for Bevy, while WgpuFeatures::default() is the equivalent of WgpuFeatures::empty().

Upload previous frame's inverse_view to GPU #

Rendering

PreviousViewProjection has been renamed to PreviousViewData and PreviousViewProjectionUniformOffset has been renamed to PreviousViewUniformOffset. Additionally, a few systems have been renamed:

  • update_previous_view_projections to update_previous_view_data
  • extract_camera_previous_view_projection to extract_camera_previous_view_data
  • prepare_previous_view_projection_uniforms to prepare_previous_view_uniforms

Generate MeshUniforms on the GPU when available. #

Rendering

Custom render phases now need multiple systems beyond just batch_and_prepare_render_phase. Code that was previously creating custom render phases should now add a BinnedRenderPhasePlugin or SortedRenderPhasePlugin as appropriate, instead of directly adding batch_and_prepare_render_phase.

Add texture coord flipping to StandardMaterial #

Rendering

Quad was deprecated in 0.13, though its replacement Rectangle did not provide a clear replacement for Quad::flip. This has been amended: now you can call flip() on any StandardMaterial.

Please note that Quad::flip was specifically horizontal flipping, though StandardMaterial::flip() supports both vertical and horizontal flipping.

Rename ShadowFilteringMethod's Castano13 and Jimenez14 variants #

Rendering

ShadowFilteringMethod::Castano13 and ShadowFilteringMethod::Jimenez14 have been renamed to Gaussian and Temporal respectively to leave room for expansion in the future, though the corresponding authors are still credited in the documentation.

Store lists of VisibleEntities separately #

Rendering

check_visibility() and VisibleEntities now store the four types of renderable entities–-2D meshes, 3D meshes, lights, and UI elements-–separately. If your custom rendering code examines VisibleEntities, it will now need to specify which type of entity it’s interested in using the WithMesh2d, WithMesh, WithLight, and WithNode types respectively. If your app introduces a new type of renderable entity, you’ll need to add an instance of the check_visibility system with the appropriate query filter to the main world schedule to accommodate your new component or components. For example:

struct MyCustomRenderable;

App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(
        PostUpdate,
        check_visibility::<With<MyCustomRenderable>>
            .in_set(VisibilitySystems::CheckVisibility)
    )
    .run();

Make Text require SpriteSource #

Rendering

Text now requires a SpriteSource marker component in order to render. This component has been added to Text2dBundle and may need to be specified if ..default() isn't used.

Expose desired_maximum_frame_latency #

Rendering

The desired_maximum_frame_latency field has been added to Window and ExtractedWindow. It is an Option<NonZero<u32>> that hints the maximum number of queued frames allowed on the GPU. Higher values may result in smoother frames and avoids freezes due to CPU-GPU data upload, but all at the cost of higher input latency. Setting desired_maximum_frame_latency to None will make it fall back to the default value, which is currently 2.

Merge VisibilitySystems frusta variants #

Rendering

VisibilitySystems's UpdateOrthographicFrusta, UpdatePerspectiveFrusta, and UpdateProjectionFrusta variants have been removed in favor of the new VisibilitySystems::UpdateFrusta variant.

Expand color grading #

Rendering

The ColorGrading component has been expanded to support individually configuring the shadow, midtone, and highlight sections. If you configured the gamma or pre_saturation fields previously, you will now have to set them for all sections:

// 0.13
let color_grading = ColorGrading {
    gamma: 2.0,
    pre_saturation: 0.8,
    ..default()
};

// 0.14
let mut color_grading = ColorGrading::default();

for section in color_grading.all_sections_mut() {
    section.gamma = 2.0;
    // `pre_saturation` has been renamed to `saturation`.
    section.saturation = 0.8;
}

Additionally, the post_saturation and exposure fields have been moved specifically to the new global field, which is a ColorGradingGlobal that supports more operations for the image as a whole.

// 0.13
let color_grading = ColorGrading {
    post_saturation: 1.2,
    exposure: 0.4,
};

// 0.14
let color_grading = ColorGrading {
    global: ColorGradingGlobal {
        post_saturation: 1.2,
        exposure: 0.4,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
};

Rename BufferVec to RawBufferVec #

Rendering

BufferVec has been renamed to RawBufferVec because a new implementation of BufferVec has taken its name. The new BufferVec<T> no longer requires T: Pod, but instead ShaderType from the encase library.

For most cases you can simply switch to using RawBufferVec, but if you have more complex data you may be interested in the new BufferVec implementation.

Implement clearcoat #

Rendering

The lighting functions in the pbr_lighting WGSL module now have clearcoat parameters if STANDARD_MATERIAL_CLEARCOAT is defined. Additionally, the R reflection vector parameter has been removed from some lighting functions, as it was unused.

Split Node2d::MainPass #

Rendering

Node2d::MainPass has been split into 3 separate phases: StartMainPass, MainTransparentPass, and EndMainPass. If you previously used MainPass to order your own custom nodes, you now need to order them relative to StartMainPass and EndMainPass.

Remove limit on RenderLayers #

Rendering

There is no longer a limit on the total amount of RenderLayers, and so the TOTAL_LAYERS associated constant and all() constructor have been removed. Entities expecting to be visible on all layers, such as lights, should either create a constant listing all known layers used by the application or compute the active layers that are in use at runtime.

Fix astronomic emissive colors required for bloom #

Rendering

Emissive color and camera exposure now play nicely with each other. Before, the emissive property of a StandardMaterial had to be massive (in the thousands) in order for effects such as bloom to be visible. This has been scaled down, so you may have to re-adjust your emissive colors.

// 0.13
StandardMaterial {
    emissive: Color::linear_rgb(23000.0, 9000.0, 3000.0),
    ..default()
}

// 0.14
StandardMaterial {
    // Much more reasonable! :)
    emissive: Color::linear_rgb(13.99, 5.32, 2.0),
    ..default()
}

You may also be interested in the StandardMaterial::emissive_exposure_weight property.

More idiomatic TextureAtlasBuilder #

Rendering

TextureAtlasBuilder has been modified to be more consistent with other builders. As part of this, most methods now return &mut Self instead of Self and finish() has been renamed to build().

// 0.13
let (texture_atlas_layout, texture) = TextureAtlasBuilder::default()
    .padding(UVec2::default())
    .format(TextureFormat::bevy_default())
    .finish()
    .unwrap();

// 0.14
let (texture_atlas_layout, texture) = TextureAtlasBuilder::default()
    .padding(UVec2::default())
    .format(TextureFormat::bevy_default());
    .build() // This is now `build()`.
    .unwrap();

Normalise matrix naming #

Rendering

All matrices have been renamed to follow the convention x_from_y in order to decrease confusion while increasing readability.

  • Frustum's from_view_projection, from_view_projection_custom_far and from_view_projection_no_far methods were renamed to from_clip_from_world, from_clip_from_world_custom_far and from_clip_from_world_no_far.
  • ComputedCameraValues::projection_matrix was renamed to clip_from_view.
  • CameraProjection::get_projection_matrix was renamed to get_clip_from_view (this affects implementations on Projection, PerspectiveProjection and OrthographicProjection).
  • ViewRangefinder3d::from_view_matrix was renamed to from_world_from_view.
  • PreviousViewData's members were renamed to view_from_world and clip_from_world.
  • ExtractedView's projection, transform and view_projection were renamed to clip_from_view, world_from_view and clip_from_world.
  • ViewUniform's view_proj, unjittered_view_proj, inverse_view_proj, view, inverse_view, projection and inverse_projection were renamed to clip_from_world, unjittered_clip_from_world, world_from_clip, world_from_view, view_from_world, clip_from_view and view_from_clip.
  • GpuDirectionalCascade::view_projection was renamed to clip_from_world.
  • MeshTransforms' transform and previous_transform were renamed to world_from_local and previous_world_from_local.
  • MeshUniform's transform, previous_transform, inverse_transpose_model_a and inverse_transpose_model_b were renamed to world_from_local, previous_world_from_local, local_from_world_transpose_a and local_from_world_transpose_b (the Mesh type in WGSL mirrors this, however transform and previous_transform were named model and previous_model).
  • Mesh2dTransforms::transform was renamed to world_from_local.
  • Mesh2dUniform's transform, inverse_transpose_model_a and inverse_transpose_model_b were renamed to world_from_local, local_from_world_transpose_a and local_from_world_transpose_b (the Mesh2d type in WGSL mirrors this).
  • In WGSL, bevy_pbr::mesh_functions, get_model_matrix and get_previous_model_matrix were renamed to get_world_from_local and get_previous_world_from_local.
  • In WGSL, bevy_sprite::mesh2d_functions::get_model_matrix was renamed to get_world_from_local.

Rename "point light" to "clusterable object" in cluster contexts #

Rendering

In the PBR shaders, point_lights is now known as clusterable_objects, PointLight is now known as ClusterableObject, and cluster_light_index_lists is now known as clusterable_object_index_lists. This rename generalizes over clusterable objects, which adds room for light probes and decals in the future.

Make Mesh::merge() take a reference of Mesh #

Rendering

Mesh::merge() now takes &Mesh instead of Mesh. Because of this, you can now share the same Mesh across multiple merge() calls without cloning it.

Store ClearColorConfig instead of LoadOp<Color> in CameraOutputMode #

Rendering

CameraOutputMode::Write now stores a ClearColorConfig instead of a LoadOp<Color>. Use the following table to convert between the two enums:

LoadOp<Color>ClearColorConfig
Clear(color)Custom(color)
LoadNone

ClearColorConfig has an additional variant, Default, which inherits the clear color from the ClearColor resource.

wgpu 0.20 #

Rendering

Bevy now depends on wgpu 0.20, naga 0.20, and naga_oil 0.14. If you manually specify any of these crates in your Cargo.toml, make sure to update their versions to prevent them from being duplicated.

Furthermore, timestamps inside of encoders are now disallowed on WebGPU (though they still work on native). Use the TIMESTAMP_QUERY_INSIDE_ENCODERS feature to check for support.

Deprecate SpriteSheetBundle and AtlasImageBundle #

Rendering
UI

SpriteSheetBundle has been deprecated as part of a style and maintenance-motivated move towards optional components that add functionality, rather than a proliferation of bundles. Insert the TextureAtlas component alongside a SpriteBundle instead.

// 0.13
commands.spawn(SpriteSheetBundle {
    texture,
    atlas: TextureAtlas {
        layout,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});
// 0.14
commands.spawn((
    SpriteBundle {
        texture,
        ..default()
    },
    TextureAtlas {
        layout,
        ..default()
    },
));

AtlasImageBundle has been deprecated. Insert the TextureAtlas component alongside an ImageBundle instead.

// 0.13
commands.spawn(AtlasImageBundle {
    image,
    atlas: TextureAtlas {
        layout,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});
// 0.14
commands.spawn((
    ImageBundle {
        image,
        ..default()
    },
    TextureAtlas {
        layout,
        ..default()
    },
));

Decouple BackgroundColor from UiImage #

Rendering
UI

The BackgroundColor component now renders a solid-color background behind UiImage instead of tinting its color. Use the color field of UiImage for tinting.

// 0.13
ButtonBundle {
    image: UiImage::new(my_texture),
    background_color: my_color_tint.into(),
    ..default()
}

// 0.14
ButtonBundle {
    image: UiImage::new(my_texture).with_color(my_color_tint),
    ..default()
}

Some UI systems have been split or renamed.

  • bevy_ui::RenderUiSystem::ExtractNode has been split into ExtractBackgrounds, ExtractImages, ExtractBorders, and ExtractText.
  • bevy_ui::extract_uinodes has been split into extract_uinode_background_colors and extract_uinode_images.
  • bevy_ui::extract_text_uinodes has been renamed to extract_uinode_text.

Remove generic camera from extract_default_ui_camera_view() system #

Rendering
UI

The bevy::ui::render::extract_default_ui_camera_view() system is now hard-wired to both the Camera2d and Camera3d components, and is no longer added twice for each type.

This change was made to fix a bug introduced after moving render phases to resources. The first thing this system does is clear out all entities from the previous frame. By having two separate systems, one was always clearing out the other, causing some entities to not be rendered.

Rename need_new_surfaces() system to need_surface_configuration() #

Rendering
Windowing

The need_new_surfaces() system has been renamed need_surface_configuration() as part of a bug fix where Bevy apps would crash on iOS when the screen orientation was changed.

Require windowing backends to store windows in WindowWrapper #

Rendering
Windowing

Windowing backends now need to store their window in the new WindowWrapper, so that Bevy can control when it is dropped. This fixes a number of bugs and crashes related to the window being dropped before the pipelined renderer is finished drawing to it.

Add an index argument to parallel iteration helpers #

Tasks

Closures passed as arguments to par_chunk_map(), par_splat_map(), par_chunk_map_mut(), and par_splat_map_mut() now take an additional index argument specifying which part of the slice is being processed.

// 0.13
items.par_chunk_map(&task_pool, 100, |chunk| {
    // ...
});

// 0.14
items.par_chunk_map(&task_pool, 100, |_index, chunk| {
    // ...
});

Fix spawning NodeBundle destroying previous ones #

UI

There was a regression in 0.13.1 NodeBundles to destroy previous ones when spawned, and the original workaround was to add position_type: Absolute to all of the root nodes. This bug is now fixed, so you can remove the workaround.

Rename Rect::inset() to inflate() #

UI

Rect::inset(), IRect::inset(), and URect::inset() have been renamed to inflate() to fit the actual behavior.

Updates default font size to 24px #

UI

The default font size for TextStyle has been increased from 12px to 24px. If you preferred the original size, you can override it using the TextStyle::font_size property.

Disentangle bevy::utils / bevy::core's re-exported crates #

Utils

bevy::utils no longer re-exports petgraph, uuid, nonmax, smallvec, or thiserror. Additionally, bevy::core no longer re-exports bytemuck's bytes_of, cast_slice, Pod, and Zeroable.

If you need any of these as dependencies, you can add them to your own Cargo.toml.

Re-add Window::fit_canvas_to_parent #

Windowing

Window::fit_canvas_to_parent is a property on WASM that automatically resizes the canvas element to the size of its parent, usually the screen. It was removed in 0.13, but that ended up being problematic because many users depended on its behavior when they could not customize the CSS. It has now been re-added to account for this need.

Remove window from WinitWindows when it is closed #

Windowing

WinitWindows::get_window_entity now returns None after a window is closed, instead of an entity that no longer exists.

Make window close the frame after it is requested #

Windowing

Windows now close a frame after their exit has been requested in order to fix several regressions. If you have custom exit logic, ensure that it does not rely on the app exiting the same frame the window is closed.

Upgrade to winit 0.30 #

Windowing

The custom UserEvent is now renamed as WakeUp, used to wake up the loop if anything happens outside the app (a new custom_user_event shows this behavior.

The internal UpdateState has been removed and replaced internally by the AppLifecycle. When changed, the AppLifecycle is sent as an event.

The UpdateMode now accepts only two values: Continuous and Reactive, but the latter exposes 3 new properties to enable reactive to device, user or window events. The previous UpdateMode::Reactive is now equivalent to UpdateMode::reactive(), while UpdateMode::ReactiveLowPower to UpdateMode::reactive_low_power().

The ApplicationLifecycle has been renamed as AppLifecycle, and now contains the possible values of the application state inside the event loop:

  • Idle: the loop has not started yet
  • Running (previously called Started): the loop is running
  • WillSuspend: the loop is going to be suspended
  • Suspended: the loop is suspended
  • WillResume: the loop is going to be resumed

Note: the Resumed state has been removed since the resumed app is just running.

Finally, now that winit enables this, it extends the WinitPlugin to support custom events.

Separating Finite and Infinite 3d Planes #

Math
Rendering

The Plane3d primitive is now a finite plane with a half_size field. If you want an infinite plane, use the new InfinitePlane3d.

// 0.13
let plane = Plane3d::new(Vec3::Y);

// 0.14
let plane = Plane3d {
    normal: Dir3::Y,
    half_size: Vec2::new(10., 10.),
};
let plane = InfinitePlane3d::new(Vec3::Y);
