Generating Multi-Worlds DST on hosted servers

This simple guide shows the method of using Multi-Worlds DST on a hosted server. MW, designed for dedicated servers running more than two shards, can also be used within the game client.

Introduction to the guide

Multi-Worlds DST is a worldgen mod designed with multi-sharded dedicated servers in mind. However it is entirely possible to use it on hosted servers too. This guide details the procedure in a couple of simple steps.

Creating the server

In order to benefit from new biomes without manually spawning the new entities with the console, a fresh server is necessary. Navigate to an empty save slot (the red outline) and begin configuring the world.



The main settings of the world are immaterial; MW can run with any world mode (survival, wilderness, endless), with any privacy settings and additional options. The number of player slots safe to open is wholly dependent on the power of the hosting station.

Enabling the mod

The next step requires enabling the mod from the MODS tab. Navigate to the section and find Multi-Worlds DST.



Ensure the box is ticked, indicating the mod is enabled.



Feel free to choose the additional options available through the configuration icon. For most servers, enabling the starting items of characters will be recommended.

Choosing the desired map preset

MW offers a range of map presets. You need to select one if you want to generate new content rather than use the console. Navigate to the WORLD tab and begin browsing the presets.



Use the arrows to browse the available options. Multiland is the all-in-one preset of MW. If chosen, all characters will spawn on the beach, with the other new biomes generating across the entire map. Presets described below ensure the world contains only their respective biome.



Greyland is one of the more dangerous biomes. By choosing this option, you will live in a grim, malnourished world where your sanity level is key to survival.



Snowland invokes the realm of the White Witch of Narnia. Choose this preset for a perpetual Winter's Feast feeling and a more relaxed playstyle.



Bunnyland: the kingdom of joy and colour, possibly induced by the giant mushrooms of all kinds - or a realm of suffering if you rolled Wigfrid or Webber. This biome resembles the mushtree forests of the caves taken to the surface and littered with bunnyman villages. Recommended to newer players, just hide your non-vegan dishes!



Slimyland is the gloomy area for lovers of the ewecus and poisonous snakes. The bigger brother of the vanilla swamp, this land provides much challenge even for the experienced. Complete with very peculiar pigmen - think what can sway them to your cause!



Chessland is Maxwell's favourite theme taken to the extreme. If you ever fancied turning clockworks to more, this challenging biome is for you, WX extraordinaire.



Beaverland is a more relaxed, half-submerged area of the land of THEIRS thriving with an entirely new tribe of anthropomorphic animals: the wildbeavers. These cute specimen will happily assist you in surviving as long as you know how to win their hearts. Woodie may hold a special advantage in this world.

Entering the server

After these steps, you are prepared to start your new world.

@致吾爱 If you want help from the author, express yourself in English.

在英文社区发中文的你，和微信聊天发语音的大妈，没什么两样。

是不是和能升级的人物mod有冲突阿。目前尝试的慕沙、风幻龙、托托利亚都不行。

설탕잼, our programmer and the main author of the mod updated the mod to work with ANR yesterday. Please check the page for full information and enjoy the game!

I want to use this mode.
But now I can't access it...
Can I use this mode?
Please I hope I can use this mode...

Skrefi, the mod adds several entirely new biomes, either as separate worlds (so you can generate each on a different shard) or combined in a way you get DST biomes. At the moment we're waiting for ANR to finish as it bugged the worldgen and tinkering with unstable code is a bad idea. If you're a host, you're welcome to play around with the console without presets!

How does it actually work?

[keeper_m]

GamaX, thanks heaps! But this praise goes to Joachim (Teapot) and Snook, that is our programmer and artist. I am only the team's writer, meaning I write quotes, brainstorm and test (on hosted servers, first and foremost).

The best mode I see. I am waiting for your multiland repair, Thank you so much
