''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|Instances]] for further information.''{{Noticebox/Official}}
'''Worlds''' are the virtual spaces inhabited by users on [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. They are the locations wherein users can interact with each other, the environment, and other features and mechanics. Worlds are created by members of the community, and uploaded as either public or private using the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]], intended for others to join. Worlds must be uploaded for each [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|platform]] to be compatible for users of that platform to join.

There's a variety of world types covering topics ranging from social hangouts, games, to avatar showcases, scenic views, and more. Each world can have multiple sessions running at the same time, referred to as [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|instances]], which have a global region they're linked to, a maximum user capacity set by the world author, and an instance type that controls who can join and moderate the world instance.
==Discovering and joining worlds==

[[File:VRC Worlds Banner.png|frame|Official render of the Worlds logo]]
Users can start discovering worlds before launching VRChat for the first time, by logging into the [https://vrchat.com/home VRChat website], or using the main page of VRChat on mobile devices. When launching VRChat for the first time, users will spawn in their home world.
===Home world ===

The home world is a world, a user joins when launching VRChat. By default, the home world is set to the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]], but can be changed to any world<ref group="note" name="any-world">Users cannot set their home world to worlds that are, private, or that are in [[Special:MyLanguage/Community_Labs|Community Labs]].</ref> available within VRChat. When clicking on a world, under the actions section, click '''Make Home''' to set that world as your home world.

The home world's instance type and region can also be changed. By default, the instance type is Invite and the region is automatically set to one best for you. This can be changed in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Safety|Comfort & Safety settings.]]

<references group="note" />
===Using the menu ===

When opening the [[Special:MyLanguage/Menus|menu]], there are a few different routes one can take to join a new world, or instance.

===="Worlds" Quick Link / tab====

When opening the [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]], using the Quick Links button for '''Worlds''' will take the user to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]], which by default, displays VRCat's Variety Box, and features a random selection from various different world categories. When anywhere on the Main Menu, users can also get to this page by using the World tab at the bottom.

On the left of the World tab, one can select a specific world category such as "Trending", "Avatar Worlds - Trending", "Games - Active", "New & Noteworthy", etc. This can be useful for quickly finding popular worlds in different categories. Clicking on a world tile here will take users to the detailed menu page for that world, giving the user options to select an existing instance to join or to create a new one, and to either join directly or drop a world portal. Each world is represented with a [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:World Thumbnail|thumbnail]], giving insight into its contents.
====Recently visited, and favorite worlds ====

Within the World tab, there is a collapsed dropdown titled '''My Worlds''', which contain any worlds uploaded, recently visited and favorite world lists by the user.
====Search====

From the Worlds tab, users can use the "Search Worlds" button to search for a specific world by title, description, tag, author, etc. These can also be sorted by Relevance, Last Updated, and Popular.

Users can also use the Search tab on the Main Menu. This tab includes a variety of different search terms for discovering worlds, sorted into two different categories: Recommended Searches, and Quick World Searches. Quick World Searches can be shuffled to spot different search terms.
===Portals ===

''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Portals|Portals]] for further information.''

[[Special:MyLanguage/Portals|Portals]] provide a quick way for users to access a specific world and instance, without having to individually find it through the menu. The portal will display the world image inside itself, and it will usually have the title above alongside other details such as user capacity and region. By default, walking forward into a portal, will transfer the user to the associated world, but [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Comfort & Safety|settings]] can be changed so that it requires user input (Portal Prompt), to prevent accidental travel. Portals come in two varieties:
====Static portals====

Worlds may contain 'static portals' that they feature to serve as a link to other worlds. These are part of the world, and as such, usually stay there permanently, ready for people to interact with. If a user walks through a static portal, a countdown, starting from thirty will begin, to which any following user can proceed into the same instance until the countdown expires.
====User-placed portals====

Users can place portals to a world instance, by searching for a world in the World tab, then choosing '''New Instance''', followed by the instance type, and finalized with '''Drop Portal'''. Portals can be placed down on most surfaces in the world, except near the designated spawn point(s). These appear the same as static portals, except the countdown timer initiates when the portal is dropped by the user, starting at thirty seconds. The timer can be extended, by having more users enter the portal. Once the timer expires, the portal disappears.
==Creating and uploading worlds==

In order to create and upload a VRChat world, a user must have reached the "User" trust rank.

To get started with creating your world, download the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Creator Companion|VRChat Creator Companion]], which will help with the installation of the latest compatible version of Unity for VRChat, and install the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]] into a world project.
