==Create New World== <!--T:1-->

<!--T:2-->
This button in your [[Dash|dash]] menu lets you start a brand new empty [[World|world]] in [[Resonite]] that you can build in or import assets into. Think of it as a "New Document", but for VR worlds.

<!--T:3-->
If you're going to experiment with creating or importing things in Resonite, it may be a good idea to do this in a new, empty world instead of cluttering up your [[Homes|home world]].

<!--T:4-->
There's a few templates to choose from to initialize the world, but you can remove and change any aspect of them.

<!--T:5-->
If you're looking to explore already built worlds or host a social event, check the [[World Browser]] instead.


===World Templates:=== <!--T:6-->

<!--T:7-->
*'''Grid''': An empty world with a large, dark-colored floor with a grid pattern on it.
*'''Platform''': An empty world with a plain circular platform
*'''Blank''': An empty world without any ground at all.


===Session Settings:=== <!--T:8-->

<!--T:9-->
'''World Name:''' the name of your world, this is how your world will be described to other users (if it's public) and the name it will be saved as.

<!--T:10-->
'''Mobile Friendly:''' if selected, this world is optimized for mobile use (Oculus Go, Oculus Quest, etc.) Currently this changes the shaders to ones that are more friendly to mobile GPUs; in the future it may have other effects such as adjusting the default level of detail for imported assets.  '''''Note that currently Resonite does not have a mobile client.'''''

'''Unsafe Mode''': Allows the usage of experimental components and [[:Category:ProtoFlux:Experimental|nodes]] deemed unsafe, it's recommended to not check this unless you know what you're doing!

<!--T:11-->
'''Who Can Join?'''
*'''Private:''' creates a world that no one can join, unless you specifically invite them.
*'''LAN:''' anyone on your local network can join, but no one from the Internet can (unless invited). Useful for LAN parties, but also running a separate instance of Resonite to act as a server, or a separate instance to use as a camera for recording video.
*'''Contacts:''' users you have added as a contact can join your world at any time without being invited.
*'''Contacts+:''' users anyone in the session has added as a contact can join your world at any time without being invited.
*'''Registered users:''' any registered users can join your world without being invited.
*'''Anyone:''' anyone can join.

To learn more, see [[Access Levels]].

<!--T:12-->
'''Port:''' the port that Resonite listens on for connections. It is normally acceptable to leave this on "Auto" and let the OS assign a free port to Resonite. Note that firewall and NAT traversal is all handled automatically, so you don't need to forward any ports to Resonite to act as a host.<!--T:13-->
