Lightyear is a Rust networking library for building server-authoritative multiplayer games with the Bevy game engine. It provides transport-agnostic connections (UDP, WebSocket, WebTransport, Steam), message channels, input handling, and entity replication with prediction and interpolation.
Use cases
- build a multiplayer game in Bevy
- add server-authoritative networking to a Rust game
- sync game state between clients and server
- implement client prediction and rollback for an FPS
- run a Bevy multiplayer game in the browser via WebTransport
- send reliable and unreliable messages between game clients
When to choose
- you are building a multiplayer game with Bevy
- you need server-authoritative state replication with prediction and interpolation
- you want transport flexibility including WebAssembly/WebTransport support
When to avoid
- you use a game engine other than Bevy
- you need peer-to-peer networking rather than client-server
- your project is not written in Rust
