UE Mass Entity
Target engine: UE 5.8. APIs below are verified against the 5.8 headers; older forms are listed under "Deprecated — do not use".
Mass is an archetype Entity Component System for simulating thousands of agents with cache-friendly data layouts and multi-threaded processors. The core lives in the always-available runtime modules MassEntity and MassCore (plus MassSignals, MassEngine); gameplay-facing pieces (spawning, representation, movement, LOD, replication, actor bridging) come from the MassGameplay (Experimental in 5.8) plugin, and navigation/behavior from MassAI (Experimental in 5.8) and MassCrowd (Experimental in 5.8).
Context
Read .agents/ue-project-context.md if it exists (module names, conventions, enabled plugins, GAS/networking setup). Do not stop if it is missing.
Identify the area from the request and the codebase. Ask only when two plausible readings would produce different code.

Modules and Build.cs
There is no MassEntity plugin to enable. MassEntity and MassCore are runtime modules that ship with the engine — add them to Build.cs and they link. Only the gameplay layers are plugins, and those must be enabled in the .uproject.
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] {
"Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine",
"MassEntity", // manager, processors, queries, commands, relations
"MassCore", // FMassFragment/FMassTag bases, FTransformFragment, traits
"MassSignals", // UMassSignalSubsystem, UMassSignalProcessorBase
"MassCommon", // UE::Mass::ProcessorGroupNames (MassGameplay)
"MassSpawner", // UMassEntityTraitBase, AMassSpawner (MassGameplay)
"MassMovement", // FMassVelocityFragment (MassGameplay)
"MassRepresentation", // ISM visualization + LOD (MassGameplay)
"MassActors", // UMassAgentComponent, actor bridging (MassGameplay)
"MassNavigation", // FMassMoveTargetFragment (MassAI)
});
Include paths that moved into MassCore are namespaced under Mass/: Mass/EntityElementTypes.h, Mass/EntityFragments.h, Mass/EntityHandle.h, Mass/ExternalSubsystemTraits.h, Mass/ArchetypeGroup.h. MassEntityTypes.h still pulls the element bases in transitively; prefer the explicit Mass/ path.
Fragments, Tags and Archetypes
| Concept | Base / type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Entity | FMassEntityHandle | Index + SerialNumber identity handle |
| Fragment | FMassFragment | Per-entity mutable data |
| Sparse fragment | FMassSparseFragment | Per-entity data stored outside the archetype (no entity move on add) |
| Tag | FMassTag | Zero-size marker used for filtering |
| Sparse tag | FMassSparseTag | Marker added/removed without an archetype change |
| Chunk fragment | FMassChunkFragment | One instance per memory chunk |
| Shared fragment | FMassSharedFragment | Mutable value shared by entities that reference it |
| Const shared fragment | FMassConstSharedFragment | Immutable shared configuration |
| Archetype | FMassArchetypeHandle | A unique fragment/tag composition |
All of these derive from FMassElement and are declared in Mass/EntityElementTypes.h.
// MyMassTypes.h
#pragma once
#include "Mass/EntityElementTypes.h"
#include "MyMassTypes.generated.h"

};
Entities with the same composition share an archetype, and each fragment type is stored contiguously per chunk. Adding or removing a fragment or tag moves the entity to another archetype — that is why structural change is deferred during iteration. Sparse fragments and sparse tags exist precisely to avoid that move.
FMassEntityManager
FMassEntityManager is not a UObject; it is a struct deriving from TSharedFromThis<FMassEntityManager> and FGCObject. Reach it through UMassEntitySubsystem (a UMassSubsystemBase, itself a UWorldSubsystem) or through UE::Mass::Utils.
#include "MassEntitySubsystem.h"
#include "MassEntityManager.h"
UMassEntitySubsystem* MassSubsystem = GetWorld()->GetSubsystem<UMassEntitySubsystem>();
FMassEntityManager& EntityManager = MassSubsystem->GetMutableEntityManager();
// const access: MassSubsystem->GetEntityManager()
// free function: UE::Mass::Utils::GetEntityManagerChecked(*GetWorld())
FMassEntityHandle Entity = EntityManager.CreateEntity(ArchetypeHandle);
FMassEntityHandle Reserved = EntityManager.ReserveEntity();
EntityManager.BuildEntity(Reserved, ArchetypeHandle);
// Batch creation: hold the returned context until observers should fire.
TArray<FMassEntityHandle> Entities;
TSharedRef<FMassEntityManager::FEntityCreationContext> CreationContext =
EntityManager.BatchCreateEntities(ArchetypeHandle, 5000, Entities);
EntityManager.DestroyEntity(Entity);
EntityManager.BatchDestroyEntities(Entities);
FMassEntityHandle::IsSet() (and its alias IsValid()) only reports that Index and SerialNumber are non-zero. To ask whether an entity really exists, use the manager:
EntityManager.IsEntityValid(Handle); // handle refers to a live entity
EntityManager.IsEntityBuilt(Handle); // reserved handle has been built
EntityManager.IsEntityActive(Handle); // valid and built
Outside processor iteration, direct structural mutation is legal. The add/tag/swap calls take TNotNull<const UScriptStruct*> (RemoveFragmentFromEntity still takes a plain const UScriptStruct*, MassEntityManager.h:430), so pass T::StaticStruct() and never a possibly-null pointer.
EntityManager.AddFragmentToEntity(Handle, FMyHealthFragment::StaticStruct());
EntityManager.RemoveFragmentFromEntity(Handle, FMyHealthFragment::StaticStruct());
EntityManager.AddTagToEntity(Handle, FMyDeadTag::StaticStruct());
EntityManager.RemoveTagFromEntity(Handle, FMyDeadTag::StaticStruct());
EntityManager.SwapTagsForEntity(Handle, FMyAliveTag::StaticStruct(), FMyDeadTag::StaticStruct());
Entity storage is concurrent: FMassEntityManager::Initialize(const FMassEntityManagerStorageInitParams&) takes FMassEntityManager_InitParams_Concurrent (MaxEntityCount, MaxEntitiesPerPage) and builds a FConcurrentEntityStorage. The subsystem does this for you; only standalone managers need the call.
UMassProcessor
Subclass UMassProcessor, construct the query with *this so it registers itself, and override the two virtuals exactly as declared.
// MyMovementProcessor.h
#pragma once
#include "MassProcessor.h"
#include "MassEntityQuery.h"

UMyMovementProcessor::UMyMovementProcessor()
: MovementQuery(*this)
{
ProcessingPhase = EMassProcessingPhase::PrePhysics;
ExecutionFlags = static_cast<int32>(EProcessorExecutionFlags::AllNetModes);
ExecutionOrder.ExecuteInGroup = UE::Mass::ProcessorGroupNames::Movement;
ExecutionOrder.ExecuteAfter.Add(TEXT("MassApplyMovementProcessor")); // class FName: no U prefix
bRequiresGameThreadExecution = false;
}
EMassProcessingPhase: PrePhysics, StartPhysics, DuringPhysics, EndPhysics, PostPhysics, FrameEnd, MAX.
EProcessorExecutionFlags: None, Standalone, Server, Client, Editor, EditorWorld, AllNetModes (Standalone|Server|Client), AllWorldModes (AllNetModes|EditorWorld), All.
FMassProcessorExecutionOrder carries ExecuteInGroup (an FName) plus ExecuteBefore and ExecuteAfter arrays of processor or group names. A processor's name is its class FName without the U prefix (MassProcessorDependencySolver.cpp:560) — prefer UOther::StaticClass()->GetFName(); a mistyped name just becomes a dummy node with a Log-verbosity message (:705), so the ordering is silently lost. Named groups come from UE::Mass::ProcessorGroupNames: UpdateWorldFromMass, SyncWorldToMass, Behavior, Tasks, Avoidance, ApplyForces, Movement.
FMassEntityQuery
Declare requirements in ConfigureQueries — never in the constructor, because the query is bound to the entity manager just before ConfigureQueries runs. Queries built with `FM

There is no MassEntity plugin to enable. `MassEntity` and `MassCore` are runtime modules that ship with the engine — add them to `Build.cs` and they link. Only the gameplay layers are plugins, and those must be enabled in the `.uproject`.
```cs
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] {
"Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine",
"MassEntity", // manager, processors, queries, commands, relations
"MassCore", // FMassFragment/FMassTag bases, FTransformFragment, traits

});
```
Include paths that moved into `MassCore` are namespaced under `Mass/`: `Mass/EntityElementTypes.h`, `Mass/EntityFragments.h`, `Mass/EntityHandle.h`, `Mass/ExternalSubsystemTraits.h`, `Mass/ArchetypeGroup.h`. `MassEntityTypes.h` still pulls the element bases in transitively; prefer the explicit `Mass/` path.
## Fragments, Tags and Archetypes

| Shared fragment | `FMassSharedFragment` | Mutable value shared by entities that reference it |
| Const shared fragment | `FMassConstSharedFragment` | Immutable shared configuration |
| Archetype | `FMassArchetypeHandle` | A unique fragment/tag composition |
All of these derive from `FMassElement` and are declared in `Mass/EntityElementTypes.h`.
```cpp
// MyMassTypes.h

Entities with the same composition share an archetype, and each fragment type is stored contiguously per chunk. Adding or removing a fragment or tag moves the entity to another archetype — that is why structural change is deferred during iteration. Sparse fragments and sparse tags exist precisely to avoid that move.
## FMassEntityManager
`FMassEntityManager` is not a `UObject`; it is a struct deriving from `TSharedFromThis<FMassEntityManager>` and `FGCObject`. Reach it through `UMassEntitySubsystem` (a `UMassSubsystemBase`, itself a `UWorldSubsystem`) or through `UE::Mass::Utils`.
```cpp

FMassEntityManager& EntityManager = MassSubsystem->GetMutableEntityManager();
// const access: MassSubsystem->GetEntityManager()

```
```cpp
FMassEntityHandle Entity = EntityManager.CreateEntity(ArchetypeHandle);
FMassEntityHandle Reserved = EntityManager.ReserveEntity();
EntityManager.BuildEntity(Reserved, ArchetypeHandle);
// Batch creation: hold the returned context until observers should fire.
TArray<FMassEntityHandle> Entities;
TSharedRef<FMassEntityManager::FEntityCreationContext> CreationContext =
EntityManager.BatchCreateEntities(ArchetypeHandle, 5000, Entities);
EntityManager.DestroyEntity(Entity);
EntityManager.BatchDestroyEntities(Entities);
```
`FMassEntityHandle::IsSet()` (and its alias `IsValid()`) only reports that Index and SerialNumber are non-zero. To ask whether an entity really exists, use the manager:
```cpp
EntityManager.IsEntityValid(Handle); // handle refers to a live entity
EntityManager.IsEntityBuilt(Handle); // reserved handle has been built

EntityManager.RemoveTagFromEntity(Handle, FMyDeadTag::StaticStruct());
EntityManager.SwapTagsForEntity(Handle, FMyAliveTag::StaticStruct(), FMyDeadTag::StaticStruct());

Entity storage is concurrent: `FMassEntityManager::Initialize(const FMassEntityManagerStorageInitParams&)` takes `FMassEntityManager_InitParams_Concurrent` (`MaxEntityCount`, `MaxEntitiesPerPage`) and builds a `FConcurrentEntityStorage`. The subsystem does this for you; only standalone managers need the call.
## UMassProcessor

ExecutionOrder.ExecuteInGroup = UE::Mass::ProcessorGroupNames::Movement;
ExecutionOrder.ExecuteAfter.Add(TEXT("MassApplyMovementProcessor")); // class FName: no U prefix
bRequiresGameThreadExecution = false;
}
```
`EMassProcessingPhase`: `PrePhysics`, `StartPhysics`, `DuringPhysics`, `EndPhysics`, `PostPhysics`, `FrameEnd`, `MAX`.
`EProcessorExecutionFlags`: `None`, `Standalone`, `Server`, `Client`, `Editor`, `EditorWorld`, `AllNetModes` (Standalone|Server|Client), `AllWorldModes` (AllNetModes|EditorWorld), `All`.
`FMassProcessorExecutionOrder` carries `ExecuteInGroup` (an `FName`) plus `ExecuteBefore` and `ExecuteAfter` arrays of processor or group names. A processor's name is its class `FName` without the `U` prefix (`MassProcessorDependencySolver.cpp:560`) — prefer `UOther::StaticClass()->GetFName()`; a mistyped name just becomes a dummy node with a Log-verbosity message (`:705`), so the ordering is silently lost. Named groups come from `UE::Mass::ProcessorGroupNames`: `UpdateWorldFromMass`, `SyncWorldToMass`, `Behavior`, `Tasks`, `Avoidance`, `ApplyForces`, `Movement`.
