Bevy Merge Train 2026-04-13 Bevy Merge Train 2026-04-13. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Despite merging aggressively yesterday (like 20 PRs!) to prepare for Bevy's 0.19 release, the #bevymergetrain cannot, will not be stopped. In the 24 hours since I did that, the community has approved 10 new open source Rust PRs. Chill with me as we work through them: gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...

Bevy 0.19 is releasing soon, which means it's time for a blog post! jms55.github.io/posts/2026-0...

A simple, colorful match 3 game. The gems are simple colored squares, but at least the color palette looks nice!

Francois and I are hosting a #bevy workshop at RustWeek again this year! We're trying a different approach: handing new-ish users a simple working game and encouraging them to explore and modify it.

Take a gander at github.com/alice-i-ceci...: this should still be fun even learning self-directed.

Despite running an unofficial #bevymergetrain but yesterday, squashing a dozen random bugs, I'm still left with 7 community-approved PRs for @bevy.org. Take a gander at my rationale, and maybe learn a thing or two about Rust, open source or gamedev :) gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...

This week, on the #bevymergetrain: async web tasks! text input! gnarly unsafe Rust ECS internals! bevy_infinite_grid! project management considerations!

Thanks again to all of our lovely contributors: both authors and reviewers. We couldn't make #bevy without you.

Bevy at RustWeek 2026

Hi #bevy! Want to hang out at #rustweek in May? We're gathering a list of folks for socialization and unconf planning purposes!

If last year is any judge, it should be a lot of fun: bikes, food, hacking, writing docs, pestering upstream :3

Fill in the spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Its my pleasure to share the date for the next #bevy meetup: https://rustunit.com/bevy-meetup/bevy-meetup-13/ - with three amazing speakers: Doce, Mads and Brian with talks from building engaging UIs, over running Bevy on iOS to better debugging - rsvp, save the date #rustlang #gamedev...

Avian Physics 0.6 - Joona Aalto Move-and-slide, joint motors, and BVH optimization

I just released version 0.6 of Avian, an ECS-driven physics engine for @bevy.org. #physics #gamedev

v0.6 features move-and-slide, joint motors, and an overhauled broad phase using BVHs, resulting in massively reduced overhead for scenes with a large number of colliders.

Bevy 0.18.1 is out now!

This is a point release containing non-breaking fixes to bugs, documentation, and the occasional tiny utility function.

🧵 I've been experimenting with caching the best lights in world space to improve NEE sampling. Inspired by ReGIR, MegaLights, and www.yiningkarlli.com/projects/cac....

i'm super excited to announce Sprinkles: a 3D GPU particle system & editor for #bevy! 💕🍩

⤷ doce.sh/blog/bevy-sp...

Few month ago I moved from #GitHub + private CI runners to #Gitea and the only thing bugging me was the lack of runner autoscaling. Solved now with a little #rustlang app. atm requires a #Hetzner token but I will eventually open source it once it proved its stability.

The last #Bevy Meetup recordings are up on YouTube now, if you missed the talks by Promethia or Periwink about Dependency Injection in Bevy and Netcode with lightyear head over to: www.youtube.com/playlist #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

A screenshot of Bevy's `many_lights` stress test, showing about 8,000 small colored lights

A screenshot of the Tracy profiler showing a frame of Bevy rendering at 4.22 ms

In my GPU clustering branch, which is making its way through review, Bevy 0.19 can render ~8,000 visible lights (of 100k total) at about 200 FPS on my laptop 4070. This also adds the infrastructure for particle systems to emit lights entirely from GPU without any CPU involvement at all.

Implement gradual falloff and blending for light probes. by pcwalton · Pull Request #22610 · bevyengine/bevy Currently, if a fragment overlaps multiple reflection probes and/or irradiance volumes, Bevy arbitrarily chooses one to provide diffuse and/or specular light. This is unsightly. The standard approa...

Landed light probe falloff and blending in Bevy 0.19: github.com/bevyengine/b...

Along with parallax correction, I think that's the last of the features that are needed to make light probes really usable. Still would be nice to have in-engine baking, of course.

Last week we held the 12th online #Bevy Meetup, let's thank our speakers PROMETHIA and Periwink for the great content and in case you missed it - find the recorded livestream here: https://youtube.com/live/vk0YcSjOiDg #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

Avian's broad phase collision detection has finally been overhauled to use Bounding Volume Hierarchies from the OBVHS crate! Previously, basic sweep and prune was used.

This is a stress test with colliders in a grid moving randomly, rendering the resulting BVH. #bevy

Bevy by default builds on gpu and therefore modern rendering APIs like Metal and Vulkan, now we have a OpenGL 2 backend: https://github.com/DGriffin91/bgl2 - #Bevy on Windows XP anyone? #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social
