VOOZH | about |
The Select World menu is one of the game's multiple menu screens. It provides access to the Create New World menu, and also lists pre-existing worlds that can be entered.
When clicking "Singleplayer" on the title screen, the player is brought to this menu if at least one world exists. If no worlds exist, the player is directly brought to the Create New World menu.
A search bar exists above the screen, allowing the player to find any world with a search.
Each world is listed along with some information about the world, such as world name, game mode, and cheats.
Each world includes a world icon, taken as a screenshot a few seconds after creating a world.โ[more information needed] The icon can be deleted using "Reset Icon", and retaken with the player's FOV after entering the world again. If a world does not have an icon or because it has been reset, it shows a grayscale pack.png as a fallback.
When opened by clicking the "Singleplayer" button with , the worlds that are incompatible with the current version or were last played in a snapshot version aren't displayed.
