Synchronize nodes across peers in Godot 4 using MultiplayerSpawner and MultiplayerSynchronizer nodes. These components automatically replicate node instantiation and synchronize gameplay state across connected servers and clients.

Migrate Godot 3.x remote and remotesync calls to Godot 4.x by using the @rpc annotation and authority patterns. This Skill provides specific guidance on updating @rpc usage and call_local semantics for proper network replication.

Godot 4 multiplayer supports server-authoritative gameplay through established authority patterns and MultiplayerSynchronizer usage. It provides clear guidance on implementing secure state replication and managing player instantiation.

MultiplayerSpawner handles lobby construction and player instantiation by automatically replicating spawned nodes across the network. Combined with ENet host/client templates, it orchestrates synchronized gameplay across connected peers.

Godot 4 multiplayer RPC calls require correct @rpc annotations and authority assignment to execute on remote peers. Ensure call_local semantics and node authority patterns are properly configured for successful network communication.
