This component is the king of the multiplayer game! It manages the overall game logic of the master client, including multiplayer game time cycles, assembly and broadcasting of full or partial game states with game phase, clock, and player stats. It also handles team allocation, initial spawn points for joining players, and broadcasts the local version of the simulation in case of a local master client handover.

MPMaster is responsible for managing the overall game logic of the master client in a multiplayer game.
