Joints link rigidbodies together and restrict their movement relative to each other to specific degrees of freedom and ranges. Additionally, they define spring and damping forces to lead the bodies into resting positions and also forces breaking the joint when limits are exceeded.

Joints are extensions of Components, so they are actually attached to nodes that already have a rigidbody attached. To connect nodes in the editor using joints, the node to connect must be a child of the anchor node. The connection is then defined via the name of the child node.
