What is this?

The Needle Mirror organization contains 291+ Unity packages across all their versions — directly on GitHub. No downloads needed, no fiddling with the Package Manager.

This lets you:

Feature Example
⚖️ Compare versions side-by-side AR Foundation 4.0 vs 3.1
🥇 See release timelines and branching AR Foundation network graph
📇 Read developer changelogs — the real ones Cinemachine changelog
🗡️ Fork and customize packages with a rebase-friendly upgrade path XR Interaction Toolkit
📜 Browse release history at a glance AR Foundation releases
🔍 Search across all packages using GitHub's code search Search example

Why does this exist?

Unity's Package Manager is great at distributing packages — but it's not great at letting you see what changed between versions, compare code, or maintain customizations across updates.

We built this mirror because we kept running into the same problems:

  • No easy way to diff two versions of a package
  • Changelogs that range from "works of art" (Input System) to entirely empty
  • Customizing a package meant losing the ability to update it

Every package here is publicly available through UPM — we just make it accessible on GitHub so you can use the tools you already know.

How to fork and customize a package

  1. Fork the package repository you need
  2. Create a branch for your modifications
  3. When Unity releases a new version, the mirror updates automatically
  4. Rebase your branch onto the new version

This gives you full customization freedom while keeping a clean upgrade path.
