Server-authoritative multiplayer building synchronization uses delta-based state replication to minimize bandwidth. Set up BuildingNetworkServer on the server and BuildingNetworkClient on clients, then implement place request flows. The system handles placement, rotation, destruction, and regional edits across players in real time.

Conflict resolution in multiplayer building uses pluggable strategies: first_write (earliest change wins), timestamp (latest change wins), or lock (exclusive edit access). Choose the strategy that matches your game's design, then configure it during server setup.

Client prediction allows players to see immediate visual feedback for their actions while the server validates and reconciles state. The client applies optimistic updates locally; the server validates and sends delta corrections, reducing perceived latency in networked construction.

Yes, this Skill depends on websocket for real-time networking. Websocket provides the persistent bidirectional connection needed for delta sync, client prediction, and conflict resolution in multiplayer building.

Per-action rate limiting prevents abuse and bandwidth spikes. Full and delta sync modes let you choose between complete state transfers or incremental updates, with delta compression optimizing bandwidth for large structures with thousands of pieces.

Server-authoritative synchronization ensures structures remain consistent across all players and survive disconnections by validating all changes on the server before replication. This is essential for persistent multiplayer builds where data integrity matters.
