About Background Build

  • Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
Background Build keeps the Unity Editor responsive by running builds in the background without blocking the Editor. It integrates with Unity's standard Build button and also provides a scriptable API for custom build pipelines.

Highlights:
Keep working in the main Editor while a build runs
Use Unity's standard Build workflow, with an easy enable/disable setting
Works with any platform
Stream build output to the Console when desired
Open the completed build output or full log from the completion message
Build players and AssetBundles in the background
Build Addressables content when the Addressables package is installed
Use synchronous-style entry points or awaitable request APIs
Includes importable API examples

Limitations
Only one background build can run at a time
Builds use the currently active platform
The first workspace build can be slower while Unity creates its cache
Project changes made during an active build may or may not be included in that build
Intended for interactive Editor workflows, not CI/CD
