## Instantiate and Spawn
When you make a single player game In Mirror, you usually use the `GameObject.Instantiate` method to create new game objects at runtime. However, with a multiplayer system, the server itself must “spawn” game objects in order for them to be active within the networked game. When the server spawns game objects, it triggers the creation of game objects on connected clients. The spawning system manages the lifecycle of the game object, and synchronizes the state of the game object based on how you set the game object up.

# Spawning Game Objects
In Mirror, you usually “spawn” (that is, create) new game objects with `Instantiate`. However, in the multiplayer High Level API, the word “spawn” means something more specific. In the server-authoritative model of the HLAPI, to “spawn” a game object on the server means that the game object is created on clients connected to the server, and is managed by the spawning system.
In Unity, you usually “spawn” (that is, create) new game objects with `Instantiate`. However, in Mirror, the word “spawn” means something more specific. In the server-authoritative model of the Mirror, to “spawn” a game object on the server means that the game object is created on clients connected to the server, and is managed by the spawning system.
Once the game object is spawned using this system, state updates are sent to clients whenever the game object changes on the server. When Mirror destroys the game object on the server, it also destroys it on the clients. The server manages spawned game objects alongside all other networked game objects, so that if another client joins the game later, the server can spawn the game objects on that client. These spawned game objects have a unique network instance ID called “netId” that is the same on the server and clients for each game object. The unique network instance ID is used to route messages set across the network to game objects, and to identify game objects.
