# Objective
The type `&World` is currently in an awkward place, since it has two
meanings:
1. Read-only access to the entire world.
2. Interior mutable access to the world; immutable and/or mutable access
to certain portions of world data.
This makes `&World` difficult to reason about, and surprising to see in
function signatures if one does not know about the interior mutable
property.
The type `UnsafeWorldCell` was added in #6404, which is meant to
alleviate this confusion by adding a dedicated type for interior mutable
world access. However, much of the engine still treats `&World` as an
interior mutable-ish type. One of those places is `SystemParam`.
## Solution
Modify `SystemParam::get_param` to accept `UnsafeWorldCell` instead of
`&World`. Simplify the safety invariants, since the `UnsafeWorldCell`
type encapsulates the concept of constrained world access.
---
## Changelog
`SystemParam::get_param` now accepts an `UnsafeWorldCell` instead of
`&World`. This type provides a high-level API for unsafe interior
mutable world access.
## Migration Guide
For manual implementers of `SystemParam`: the function `get_item` now
takes `UnsafeWorldCell` instead of `&World`. To access world data, use:
* `.get_entity()`, which returns an `UnsafeEntityCell` which can be used
to access component data.
* `get_resource()` and its variants, to access resource data.
# Objective
Allow using `Local<WorldId>` in systems.
## Solution
- Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.

## Changelog
+ `WorldId` now implements the `FromWorld` trait.
# Objective
Fixes#7736
## Solution
Implement the `SystemParam` trait for `WorldId`
## Changelog
- `WorldId` can now be taken as a system parameter and will return the id of the world the system is running in
# Objective
Fixes these issues:
- `WorldId`s currently aren't necessarily unique
- I want to guarantee that they're unique to safeguard my librarified version of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/2805
- There probably hasn't been a collision yet, but they could technically collide
- `SystemId` isn't used for anything
- It's no longer used now that `Locals` are stored within the `System`.
- `bevy_ecs` depends on rand
## Solution
- Instead of randomly generating `WorldId`s, just use an incrementing atomic counter, panicing on overflow.
- Remove `SystemId`
- We do need to allow Locals for exclusive systems at some point, but exclusive systems couldn't access their own `SystemId` anyway.
- Now that these don't depend on rand, move it to a dev-dependency
## Todo
Determine if `WorldId` should be `u32` based instead
