Beautiful Unity Core

Version: 1.4.0
Publisher: ScreamyCat
Asset Store: Included in all Beautiful Unity Packages

Beautiful Unity Core serves as the universal backbone and shared dependency for the entire Beautiful Unity ecosystem (Beautiful Hierarchy, Beautiful Project, Beautiful Inspector, and Beautiful Tabs). It provides the centralized Beautiful Unity Hub for unified package configuration and includes an Intelligent Auto Save Manager to protect projects from unexpected crashes and data loss.


Key Features

1. Beautiful Unity Hub

The centralized control panel for all installed ScreamyCat extensions:

  • Unified Access: Open anytime via Tools > Beautiful Unity Hub (or Window > Beautiful Unity Hub).
  • Dynamic Package Discovery: Automatically detects which Beautiful Unity packages are installed in your project and dynamically loads their custom settings tabs.
  • Dynamic Banners & Updates: Seamlessly pulls package announcements, banners, and update notes from the cloud without adding bloat to local project packages.
  • Integrated Feedback System: Built-in direct feedback window to submit bug reports, feature requests, or praise directly to the developer's Discord.

2. Intelligent Auto Save Manager

Never lose scene progress or uncommitted changes to Unity editor crashes:

  • Edit Mode Protection: Periodically saves all active, dirty scenes and modified project assets on a configurable timer (default: 5 minutes).
  • Intelligent Workload Awareness: Automatically suppresses saving operations during Play Mode, script compilation, asset importing, and scene transitions to prevent stuttering or workflow interruptions.
  • Zero Overhead: Operates silently in the background with negligible CPU footprint.

Configuration & Hub Settings

All Core features are configured from the Beautiful Unity Hub:

  1. Navigate to Tools > Beautiful Unity Hub.
  2. Select the Settings tab and choose Beautiful Unity Core.
  3. Enable or disable the Auto Save Manager and configure the save interval timer (in minutes).
