Mirror has nearly all of the components and features from UNet, making networking easy, concise and maintainable, whether you're starting from scratch or converting an existing project. We even have a [Migration Tool ](General/Migration.md ) to do most of the work for you!

Built to support games of any scale, from LAN party games to dedicated high-volume authoritative servers running hundreds of players, Mirror is the core networking solution for [uMMORPG ](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/ummorpg-51212 ), [uSurvival ](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/usurvival-95015 ), [Cubica ](https://www.cubica.net/ ), and [more ](https://mirror-networking.com/showcase/ )!

uMMORPG was possible with \<6000 lines of code. We needed a networking library that allows us to launch our games, period!
