+pull_requests: [18810]
+---
+
+Worlds can now have different default error handlers, so there no longer is a global handler.
+
+Replace uses of `GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER` with `App`'s `.set_error_handler(handler)`.
+For worlds that do not directly belong to an `App`/`SubApp`,
+insert the `DefaultErrorHandler(handler)` resource.
