gdext provides Rust bindings for the Godot 4 game engine, letting developers write game logic and engine extensions in Rust via GDExtension. It is the successor to the gdnative project and is developed under the godot-rust organization.

Use cases

• write godot games in rust
• create godot 4 gdextension modules in rust
• use rust for game scripting in godot
• build high-performance game logic with rust in godot
• integrate rust libraries into a godot project

When to choose

• you want to build a Godot 4 game or extension in Rust
• you need performance-critical game code with memory safety
• you prefer Rust's tooling and ecosystem for game development

When to avoid

• you are targeting Godot 3 (use gdnative instead)
• you want a pure GDScript workflow without native extensions
• you need a fully stable, guaranteed API - the bindings still evolve with Godot 4
