# Objective Fixes #5884 #2879 Alternative to #2988 #5885 #2886 "Immutable" Plugin settings are currently represented as normal ECS resources, which are read as part of plugin init. This presents a number of problems: 1. If a user inserts the plugin settings resource after the plugin is initialized, it will be silently ignored (and use the defaults instead) 2. Users can modify the plugin settings resource after the plugin has been initialized. This creates a false sense of control over settings that can no longer be changed. (1) and (2) are especially problematic and confusing for the `WindowDescriptor` resource, but this is a general problem. ## Solution Immutable Plugin settings now live on each Plugin struct (ex: `WindowPlugin`). PluginGroups have been reworked to support overriding plugin values. This also removes the need for the `add_plugins_with` api, as the `add_plugins` api can use the builder pattern directly. Settings that can be used at runtime continue to be represented as ECS resources. Plugins are now configured like this: ```rust app.add_plugin(AssetPlugin { watch_for_changes: true, ..default() }) ``` PluginGroups are now configured like this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins .set(AssetPlugin { watch_for_changes: true, ..default() }) ) ``` This is an alternative to #2988, which is similar. But I personally prefer this solution for a couple of reasons: * ~~#2988 doesn't solve (1)~~ #2988 does solve (1) and will panic in that case. I was wrong! * This PR directly ties plugin settings to Plugin types in a 1:1 relationship, rather than a loose "setup resource" <-> plugin coupling (where the setup resource is consumed by the first plugin that uses it). * I'm not a huge fan of overloading the ECS resource concept and implementation for something that has very different use cases and constraints.

How can Bevy's documentation be improved?
To set the
present_mode(aka vsync) of the bevy app, it is required that theWindowDescriptorresource be inserted before the insertion of the core bevy rendering plugin, so that it's possible to set the present mode when initializing rendering-related resources.It is easy to mistakenly add the
WindowDescriptorafter the default bevy plugins. And there is absolutely no feedback telling user that they are "holding it wrong," resulting in difficult-to-understand unexpected behavior.There should be a check on whether
WindowDescriptorwas inserted/updated after its useful insertion time and print a warning, explaining what problems this entails and how to fix the issue (adding the resource before the rendering plugin).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
