About BlackBox 2 - Redefined Prefab Workflow
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
Prefab encapsulation has been one of the top feature requests from Unity users ever since nested Prefabs were introduced in 2018. BlackBox enables just that, with a single component!
It's easy, even for experts, to accidentally modify a Prefab instance and leave overrides in the scene: a source of bugs that are hard to track down. BlackBox lets you prevent overrides to any Prefab... but that's just the start!
BlackBox has three main features, usable together or on their own:
- Locking a Prefab
- Revealing properties, methods, components, and more
- Preventing Apply
LOCKING
Add the BlackBox component and a Prefab with any number of children and components: it appears as a single object in the Hierarchy. You can only change the Transform and enable/disable the GameObject. To edit anything else, open it in Prefab mode as usual.
REVEAL PROPERTIES, METHODS, REFS, COMPONENTS, AND CHILD OBJECTS
Add the important bits to a reveal list and they show up on the root even when the Prefab is locked!
PREVENTING APPLY
Go one step further and stop users from applying Scene overrides back to the asset.
New in 2.0
- Reveal entire child GameObjects directly in the Hierarchy
- Optionally reveal everything in Play mode
- Override BlackBox settings and reveal lists on Variants and nested instances
- New Project Settings defaults
- The Overrides dropdown now has BlackBox functionality to filter overrides by type
- Reveal Odin properties with a right-click
No impact on performance: BlackBox is editor-only, so it never ships in builds and has zero runtime impact.
Safe to add in production: BlackBox doesn't interact with gameplay, so it's safe to add to a game already in production.
Compatible with all Prefab types: works with Variants, nesting, and 2D Prefabs.
Compatible with Odin Inspector: Just add a [RevealWithOdin] attribute and Odin-decorated properties show just like in their original components.
Hats integration
BlackBox integrates with Hats - Workspaces and Teams: choose which Teams can edit a Prefab.
CJK support
Revealed property names support CJK languages.
