The #1 free open source game networking library for Unity 2019 / 2020 / 2021 / 2022 / 2023 / 6000.

Used in production by major hits like Population: ONE and many more.

Originally based on UNET: battle tested since 2014 for 9 years and counting!

Mirror is stable, modular & easy to use for all types of games, even small MMORPGs.

Architecture

The Server & Client are ONE project in order to achieve maximum productivity.

Simply use NetworkBehaviour instead of MonoBehaviour, with:

▣ [Server] / [Client] tags for server-only / client-only code

▣ [Command] for Client->Server function calls

▣ [ClientRpc] / [TargetRpc] for Server->Client function calls

▣ [SyncVar] / SyncList to automatically sync variables from Server->Client.

Making multiplayer games this way is fun & easy!
