[February 2026] VRChat World Trends & Ranking | Booth Trend Analysis

Draw with a pen, ladle out soup, drink from a syringe — February 2026's new worlds on Booth put gimmicks built on hands-on gestures at the front of the ranking, flanked by finished worlds at very different temperatures: stark modern, warm romantic, and a rainy-night bar. A wonderfully miscellaneous lineup, exactly as this category likes it.

At the top sits "UnyStylus," a pen whose strokes persist as world objects (3,484 likes). Let's start there and go through the lineup one piece at a time.

📊 About the data　Compiled: 2026-07-13 / Scope: worlds published on Booth between 2026-02-01 and 2026-02-28 with 300+ likes (23 items)

Top 10 Worlds

Ranked by like count as of the compile date (July 2026), here's one pick at a time, contents and volume included.

#1: UnyStylus / らすたの雑貨屋

A drawing pen for worlds that everyone can summon, one each. A radial menu at your hand picks color and thickness; drawn lines can be moved and duplicated afterwards. As of the compile date (July 2026) it holds 3,484 likes — the most in February's world category. ¥300.

The pen's genuinely original trick: lines drawn in VR persist as world "objects." Normally an in-VR sketch is ephemeral, but UnyStylus exports stroke data as text, and the bundled "LineImporter" tool reads it into Unity, where the strokes reappear as 3D objects in the scene. In other words, decorations hand-drawn in VR get baked into a Unity world. Imported strokes trim and crop via CropCube / CutCube, so freehand ornaments, logos and signboard lettering land in a world without modeling anything from scratch.

At runtime it's a guestbook pen for events; in production it's a sketch-in-VR-finish-in-Unity tool. Sitting right on the border between plaything and world-building aid is what makes it fun — and a single pen taking first place is exactly this category's flavor.

#2: VARAYA/Screen(+Speaker) / VARAYA OnlineShop

A screen for video worlds that opens and closes. Built for the free video player VizVid, it folds and unfolds when you interact with its remote. As of the compile date, 1,374 likes. ¥600, with a supporter edition (¥800) adding a ceiling-hung speaker.

The clever part: the video player itself stays VizVid's job, and this product takes only the "presentation" shell. The remote-controlled fold matters more than it sounds — keep it closed when nobody's watching so the room isn't dominated by a huge black rectangle, open it for showtime, and the gesture itself becomes theater. A pinpoint asset filling the "player installed, but the screen and audio look off-the-shelf" gap; lilToon-ready and instantly at home in VizVid worlds.

#3: Modern Comfort Base / StardustStudio

A modern home world of raw concrete and a loft. A ceiling fan over the atrium, bookshelves and glass railings on the mezzanine, stairs washed in indirect light — a home/VR-sleep space built on the concept of "a place to reclaim yourself at the end of the day, surrounded by what you love." As of the compile date, 1,361 likes. ¥2,000 (the setup ReadMe is a free download).

The delight is the drag-and-drop photo display, with frames sized for VRC+ prints — fill the room with your own screenshots. Bright Noon and dim Night scenes ship pre-lit, and it supports PC, Quest and iOS alike. A video player and join log come built in, and a setup-guide PDF is included, meeting first-time world uploaders where they are.

#4: RARA Rain System / RARAlabo

A free rain-particle system whose drops change color with the ambient light. Ordinary particle rain floats white even in a dark night world, looking pasted on; this one starts from "raindrops in a dark place should be dark" and samples the world's ambient light through Light Probe Proxy Volumes. The rain blends into the scene's brightness as it falls — that's the heart of it. As of the compile date, 1,335 likes.

GPU instancing draws tens of thousands of drops lightly, collision makes them vanish on roofs and ground, and density auto-adjusts as the area changes. Free, with a ¥200 paid tier. It's a new release from RARAlabo, whose footstep gimmick ranked #3 in January — the "systems that support a world's experience from below" lane, continued.

The ¥200 tier adds a network-synced weather system that glides between drizzle, downpour and clear via Perlin noise, volume tied to the rainfall, and occlusion that muffles the sound indoors. Open the rain itself for free; sell the weather as the paid layer — a clean staged design.

#5: Soup Kitchen Set / くるやさん

A free soup-kitchen gimmick you eat with chopsticks. Under the disarming concept "it's a soup kitchen, so it's free," pork-miso soup and rice balls come as a set. As of the compile date, 940 likes.

Lift the lid, dip the ladle to fill it, USE to pour; bring chopsticks to the tray to pinch ingredients, USE to eat, hold the tray and USE to drink — every gesture from serving a bowl to finishing it is an interaction.

It's a new release from くるやさん, who shipped hotpot and rice-dish gimmicks in January, moving to the seasonal soup-kitchen motif in February. Running on UdonSharp and ObjectSync, it's the flagbearer of the cute food-gimmick school.

#6: Midnight Gleam / Mimorie.

A late-night home world wrapped in the warm tones of string lights. The ground floor holds a kitchen-adjacent living room and pantry made for lining up drinks and coffee; a nook for a breather, and past the loft, a quiet bedroom — a full living circuit in one house. As of the compile date, 856 likes. Light-baked, PC only. ¥3,000.

It's a new release from Mimorie., whose "Homely Room" featured in January's trends section, with Special Thanks credited to a bar-world builder.

Where #3's Modern Comfort runs stark concrete, Midnight Gleam goes soft beige × fine fairy lights. Two "night home worlds" at completely different temperatures sharing one Top 10 is February's little pleasure.

#7: House Tranquility / Imaginary Caravan

A thoroughly built residential world intended as a home. Designed around a fusion of Scandinavian and Japanese styles, furniture fully included — open the demo scene, upload, and it's your house. As of the compile date, 821 likes. ¥4,000.

The winning feature: pre-lit scenes for four times of day — morning, noon, evening, night. Lighting is the most laborious stage of world building (re-baking per time of day), so shipping four finished light setups is a real gift; the buyer just picks an hour and uploads a picture-ready home.

About 60MB built, and it runs on a stack of prerequisite assets — TowelCloud, iwaSync3, QvPen — a serious build for people with world-making experience. The same shop's #10 "CQ_Books_6th" appears among its components: stacking your own shop's parts into a house, visible in the credits.

#8: Syringe Shot Gimmick / はなえちゅ

A shot-drink gimmick shaped like syringes. Grab a syringe shot from the ice bucket, hold the trigger to drink, click again to reset. As of the compile date, 632 likes. ¥1,200, PC only.

Twelve material presets ship in, all AudioLink-ready, so drinks that pulse with the music come easy. It drops straight into bar and concept-café worlds, its poison-cute glow driven by the Poiyomi shader. はなえちゅ also released the café-styled "DokiDoki Shot Gimmick" the same month — a maker who productizes the act of drinking itself.

#9: Rain/Noir / same不動産開発

A bar world built on rain and night. Past the rain-swept entrance lie an airy double-height bar area, a stage with a grand piano, and a storage room open to interpretation. An intimate space sized for around ten guests. As of the compile date, 617 likes. ¥4,000.

Its strength is arriving fully equipped: join log, toggleable seat colliders, avatar lights and a password door, with drinks, shakers and ashtray props already placed. It hands you a state where "a rather nice little bar event" opens immediately — a design squarely on the event host's side.

Both PC (66MB) and Android/Quest (62MB) are supported, VCC-ready with a full setup manual. Raindrops streaming down the windows as company for a drink — the deepest night in February's Top 10.

#10: CQ_Books_6th / Imaginary Caravan

Free book assets for placing in worlds. Modern magazine-style designs meant to face out on shelves or stack on tables. Licensed CC0 (public domain) — modify and redistribute freely. As of the compile date, 612 likes.

A few books scattered around a room instantly add "someone lives here" — but modeling books with readable covers is quietly tedious. Getting them CC0 means casually scattering lived-in warmth across shelves and tables. Each book is one object, so Batching Static on the stationary ones keeps things light — a note the listing helpfully includes. It even serves as a component of #7 House Tranquility.

February 2026 Trends

Stepping back from the ranking, here's what the data says about all 23 worlds published on Booth in February. The month's top like count — UnyStylus at 3,484 — rose sharply from January's high of 1,373.

Metric	Value

Average likes	780

Median price	¥700

Top 10 finished worlds / drop-in assets / touch-to-play gimmicks	4 / 3 / 3

Features: touch-to-play pickup gimmicks take the lead

Tallying feature tags, February keeps Udon and world gimmicks strong while pickup-able grows in presence. The edible soup kitchen (#5), syringe shots (#8) and the drawing pen (#1) — "hold it, touch it, drink it" gimmicks anchoring the Top 10 shows up straight in the tags.

The emblem is くるやさん's other food gimmick.

"Russian Takoyaki" is an Udon gimmick where you pick takoyaki with a toothpick and eat — with one randomly loaded piece that flushes your vision red, Russian-roulette style. USE near someone else's mouth feeds it to them for a party duel, and reset restocks the tray. From the same maker as #5, another "food everyone plays with" entry.

The other axis of pickup play is drink gimmicks.

"DokiDoki Shot Gimmick," from はなえちゅ of #8, packs three café-styled shots — a regular, a heart-shaped love potion, and a lightbulb double-straw. AudioLink-reactive, with a PSD for brewing your own drinks. Between the syringes and these, はなえちゅ single-handedly ran February's "act of drinking."

Keywords: a world searched by "sofa" and "bookshelf"

The most frequent keyword is again "photo-ready." Worlds get chosen for shooting more than dwelling — people hunting backdrops for their avatars and outfits — same as January, with "home world" and "interior" following in that vein.

And as in January, sofa, table, bed, bookshelf, indirect lighting — concrete furniture and fixture names line up. World searches often run on specific asset names rather than mood words, so VRCFinder deliberately picks up individual asset names in its keywords; furniture names in the tally are that policy showing through.

Meeting that parts-first demand directly: a free furniture set.

ぱんだ庫's "Free Furniture Set vol.1" packs a low bed, sofa, low table, side table and floor lamp, plus a lattice-framed cube canopy space, with calm red textile accents. A room's leading furniture, together for ¥0 — the perfect doorway into world building.

Taste: modern, and the late-night romantic

Taste leads with modern, followed by natural and dark. With finished worlds plentiful, modern living spaces pulled the trend — and the fun part is the split between #3 Modern Comfort's stark concrete and #6 Midnight Gleam's warm romance within the same "night home" genre.

In the modern-hideout direction, this one caught the eye.

"Grotta" is an underground home world at the bottom of a back-alley stairway (grotta is Italian for cave). Skylight washes over rock walls and board-formed concrete, with a living room, mezzanine lounge, fireplace nook and bedroom stacked in three dimensions. One building, 34 furnishings, 11 lights, day and night versions — a "VR architecture" work by xraftery.

On the natural side, a plant-filled backdrop asset lined up too.

"Room of Wood and Plants" is a backdrop asset with wooden furniture, seven houseplants and airy windows. Five shelves, two chairs, two indirect lights and six lamps are included, with colliders, light baking and reflection probes pre-configured — drop the prefab and it works. A quick natural room from おとり工房.

Price: free grows to about a quarter

The standout in the price split: free grew to 6 items (~26%), up from January's ~18% (6/33). Within the Top 10 alone, the ambient-light rain (#4), the edible soup kitchen (#5) and the CC0 books (#10) are free.

Excluding free, ¥2,000–2,999 and ¥3,000–4,999 hold four items each — where the finished worlds (#3/#6/#7/#9) cluster. Nothing crosses ¥5,000, and "parts and gimmicks free-to-hundreds of yen, finished worlds ¥2,000–4,000" carries over from January. Free-to-paid tiers (#4) and CC0-first distribution (#10) run thick — the category where distribution culture reaches furthest beyond Booth's paywall.

From the finished-world band, the second release of a shop shipping month after month.

"Aquareverie" is Mimorie.'s other house of the month, alongside #6 Midnight Gleam. A wood-warm room overlooking a sunset sea, PC and Quest both, ¥2,500. True to its tagline — "let the ocean hold your thoughts" — it leans into seaside stillness, meaning Mimorie. shipped two homes at two temperatures within one month.

February trends from a creator's view

This category's readers include not just world makers but avatar, outfit and prop creators wondering "should I try worlds too?" Here are the indicators most likely to speak to someone starting out.

Points worth a world creator's attention:

Wrap-up

February 2026's worlds put a line-baking pen at the top, hands-on food-and-drink gimmicks across the upper ranks, and four finished worlds split across distinct temperatures: stark Modern Comfort, warm Midnight Gleam, the Scandinavian-Japanese House Tranquility, and the rainy-night Rain/Noir. That one genre — a place to return to, a place to gather — splits this many ways says everything about the breadth of worlds as a medium.

Worlds reach VRChat by a slightly different route: placed into Unity scenes or driven by Udon rather than worn and carried. But look at the top and the skills are continuous with avatar and prop work — particles, furniture models, gimmicks. Makers like RARAlabo, くるやさん and Mimorie. keep shipping across months, and that accumulation shows directly in the ranks. Slide your current craft sideways a little and you can place one more work on the world side — February's lineup carried exactly that sense of invitation.
