[July 2025] VRChat World Trends & Ranking | Booth Trend Analysis

A data-backed look at the new worlds published on Booth in July 2025, ranked by the likes they gathered. What stood out this month was work that competes on how many variations one asset can hold.

First place went to four hand-painted summer skies bundled as a skybox (2,707 likes). Let's start there and look at what each one contains.

Top 10 Worlds

Ranked by like count as of July 2026, with a look at what each one contains and how much of it there is.

#1: SummerCity Skybox / つきのすとあ

Four midsummer blue skies with hand-painted clouds, bundled into one skybox. What gathered the most likes among July's worlds — 2,707 — wasn't a finished world but ¥500 worth of sky. The four variations: "City," with towering clouds over a sea of white buildings; "Sunken City," where moss-covered rooftops break the water's surface; "Ocean," all glittering waves; and "Mountain Lake," with a ridgeline mirrored in still water. Every one of them is painted in that piercing summer blue.

The textures are large-format 8192×6144 cubemaps, and a sample setup is included that maps the skybox onto a sphere so you can check how it reads from the inside. So much of a world's impression comes down to its sky that swapping the sky alone re-dresses a world for summer — the cheapest, highest-impact renovation part there is, sitting at the top of the month. A very July result.

Creator's official PV by つきのすとあ

#2: SailingMoon / モサンゴ屋

A two-story home world themed on sea breeze and starry skies. #2 with 1,920 likes, ¥1,000. One of the houses in the line the creator calls the "Moon series." A double-height living room, a kitchen with blue cabinets, a second-floor bedroom — the floor plan of a real home, with the sea outside the windows. The night version's terrace is the showstopper: a big cherry tree and a swing under the stars, with lines of blue light running along the ground.

The tricks are clever, too. Click the framed picture on the first floor that reads "Click Here to Basement," and the wall beside it slides down to reveal a passage to the basement. Day and night set-up scenes are both bundled, and the overall lighting is tuned calm and dim (the page even walks you through raising the PointLight intensity if you want it brighter). Updates have continued since release, shortening light-bake times and adding sync support to the door gimmick.

#3: OnyX / same不動産開発

A venue world for hospitality and bar events, themed on black onyx. #3 with 1,496 likes. At ¥5,000 it's the only item in the ¥5,000 range in this month's tally — but what you're buying is a "purchase the box, open the event" full set. VRChat has a culture of hospitality events — bars and lounges staffed by casts — and a venue needs operational machinery, not just good looks. OnyX builds all of it in from the start: a join notification sound at the entrance, a video player at reception, fully soundproofed semi-private booths on the main floor, switchable avatar lights, a service bell, and a staff room with a passcode door and join log. The floor plan and features are laid out along the lines of an actual night of service.

Every object is built from scratch and light-baked, and it supports both PC (100MB) and Quest (63MB). There's even a showroom for cast debuts, and the black-and-gold main floor under its cascading chandelier delivers the immersion. One purchase takes most of the launch hurdles out of running an event.

#4: Nebula light profiles / Nebula Creations

Seventy light profiles that turn Unity's standard lights into textured, characterful light just by placing them. #4 with 1,465 likes. Free, with a support edition (¥300) whose contents are exactly the same. Drop a stock Unity point light into a scene and you tend to get flat, uniform illumination. These lights come pre-set with patterns and shading that shape how the light falls — what Unity calls a "cookie" — so from the start they carry expressions like radial spreads from a ceiling or the subdued reddish wash of a movie theater.

Usage is as simple as it gets: place the prefab for real-time lights, or place and bake for baked ones. All 70 are numbered to match a catalog image, with a light-baked sample scene to cross-reference while you choose. Built for BRP environments, supporting both real-time and baked workflows. Lighting is the stage that decides a world's final polish, so having this many options for free is a serious asset.

#5: Stellar Nest / Soooma VR Store

A multi-functional home world wrapped in flowing curves and orange-and-blue light. #5 with 1,246 likes, ¥3,000. Warm indirect light washes over architecture with hardly a straight line in it, and star particles scatter across the ceiling — a real nesting space.

What sets it apart is the depth of the "settings" residents get to touch: a join log, three mirrors (HQ / LQ / black-and-white), night mode, photo frames, a clock, three post-processing switches, ON/OFF toggles for colliders, sit detection, and dust — plus a billiards ON/OFF switch and an airplane animation. The function list fills a wall. The most fun of the bunch is a color-grading toggle that shifts the whole room between orange, blue, and pink, letting one room serve three moods. The settings menu supports Japanese, English, and Korean. Carrying all that while staying lightweight and PC/Quest-compatible is a balance that explains the support it drew.

#6: Fleur Nostalgie / ぜろけん。~第零研究所~

A photography-ready room buried in dried flowers and wrapped in golden slanting light. #6 with 1,199 likes, ¥700. The floor is overgrown with grass, dried flowers in every color hang from the ceiling, and fine dust motes drift through the shafts of light from the windows — the subtitle, "memories of bygone flowers," made literal.

It's a small world with a movement range of about 10.8×9.15m, and light at PC 41MB / Quest 32MB. The window light, the dust effects, and the colliders are all pre-configured, so it uploads right after purchase. It was built for commemorative photos and quiet conversation, which means that for anyone shooting avatars or outfits, it's a backdrop that composes itself. Fitting decoration this dense into ¥700 with Quest support sorted is its own argument.

#7: Santorini-Style Villa World / MaLu's Materials

White plaster walls, dome roofs, a pool, and bougainvillea — a villa world that looks lifted straight off a Santorini clifftop. #7 with 1,158 likes, ¥3,000, with day and night scenes both bundled. By day it's the piercing Mediterranean blue; by night, lanterns warm the white walls. Two different faces by time of day.

The standout is how much you can recolor: windows, doors, interior and exterior walls, cushions, couch fabric, the bougainvillea blossoms, the dome roofs, even the kitchen cabinet doors can all be changed from a material color palette. From the default blue-and-white, you can repaint it into your own resort. Sea and pool water shaders, a candle-flame shader, and an Udon door gimmick are included. Updates landed in quick succession right after release — brightness tuning, collider fixes, an added open sea — and the load size stays around 47–49MB.

#8: Japanese Summer Staples (10 pcs) / のあがみ

An electric fan, a wind chime, a pig-shaped mosquito coil holder, a mosquito coil, a watermelon (whole and cut), a ramune bottle, and three paper fans — ten pieces of the Japanese summer in one asset pack. #8 with 1,023 likes, ¥600. The indigo paper fan with the character 祭 (festival), the ramune bottle with its marble, the striped watermelon — every piece leans on the texture of the real thing, so placing them on a veranda or in a café or summer-festival world instantly puts the Japanese summer in the air.

Every item's polygon count is listed on the product page (electric fan △26,642, wind chime △3,620, and so on), which is a kindness to anyone placing props with a capacity budget in mind. Alongside the UnityPackage, FBX and texture files are included separately, so it works outside Unity too — game and video production included. No animations; this is a pure 3D model set.

#9: Curio House -reading books- / PatchRoom

A five-room reading world with books packed floor to ceiling. #9 with 864 likes, ¥4,000. It's the reading installment of "Curio House," a series built on the concept of living surrounded by your hobby: snowy scenery outside the windows, and warm light layered indoors from chandelier to table lamp to candle. A house for shutting yourself in with a book.

The number that jumps out is the 250-plus book assets bundled in — low-poly versions for filling shelves and high-poly versions for placing individually, all prefab'd. Even if you never upload this world, it works as a material library for building studies and libraries. PC/Quest support at about 93MB.

PatchRoom also released the industrial installment of "The House" — their interior-themed series — in the same July: corrugated metal ceilings, black steel columns, brick walls, and a loft, like a factory converted into a hideaway. "Curio House" leads with hobbies, "The House" leads with interiors — running two series side by side is a striking way to publish.

#10: Plant Cycle ×96 / Toraba Store

Ninety-six houseplants, captured stage by stage from sprouting to withering. #10 with 844 likes, ¥500. Six plant species, each prepared across roughly fifteen stages from first sprout to fully withered, adding up to 96 models. The same plant can be placed thriving in one corner and half-dropped in another.

Materials come in four stages as well, with lilToon color correction carrying the progression through to the withered state. Plants and pots are separated, and a wooden material for the pots is included so they can be swapped by hand. Each model stays under △10,000 polygons with two 1K textures.

Is this a room someone tends, or one left alone for a long time? The state of a plant alone can tell you how much time has passed in a space. The same creator followed up the next month with a wall material carrying ivy through four stages from green to withered — "include every stage" is a consistent idea.

Features: world gimmicks and Udon as two pillars

Top 10 Features

Distribution of product features, capabilities, and gimmick types.

Feature tags run world gimmick 19 and Udon 15 as two pillars, then Quest support 6, pickupable 6 and mirror 6. More than a third of the field carries something that moves or responds.

From that side, one free release.

CGshop【KAORUYA】's "Handle-UI" is a control panel shaped like handles and levers — instead of pressing a switch, you turn a tap or pull a lever to operate world gimmicks, making the operation itself part of the presentation. Released free.

On the Udon side, one release builds a table you can play at.

FURRY Luna_ko's "Hanafuda" is a hanafuda card game running on Udon, implementing dealing and playing cards to the table. Drop it in and your world has a table where visitors can play. ¥500.

From the pickupable side, something to hold.

くるや's "Fizzy Goldfish Bowl Soda" is a drink model shaped like a goldfish bowl with goldfish swimming inside, in pink and light blue, topped with cream and a cat-shaped cookie. It's set up to be picked up and held, so it sits straight onto a table in a summer world. ¥100.

On the mirror side, one release framing a waterside at dusk.

どんぐりのお店's "Poolside Bar" is a dusk resort world where the pool reads as continuous with the horizon. Palm shadows, deck chairs and parasols line up, and the color of the sky falls straight onto the water. It carries a mirror, so you can check an avatar inside that view while shooting. ¥3,000.

Keywords: photography, and the furniture that fills a room

Top 20 Keywords

Frequency of VRCFinder's own keyword tags — useful for spotting trending tastes and features.

The top keyword is "for photography" at 32 of 49 — two in three tied to shooting. Home world 18, interior 15 and world gimmick 12 follow, and after that come sofa 10, table 10 and chair 10: the names of furniture that fills a room.

From the furniture side, one free release.

nanoha's "RoomN" is a 3D model set for worlds, kept simple enough to serve as a base when assembling a room. Released free — a way in for anyone wanting to just put something down and start.

Taste: natural leads, simple and modern follow

Top 10 Taste Tags

Which taste/aesthetic tags appeared most in this theme.

Taste tags put natural at 12, followed by simple 8, modern 8, Japanese 6 and dreamy-cute 5. Spaces held together by wood and plants sit at the center, with simple and modern arranged around them.

From the leading natural axis, one release that plants greenery in bulk.

La Fille's "Tropical Green Set" is a free set gathering tropical plants — palms, ferns and more. It runs from tall trees down to ground-level shrubs, so laying them across the ground raises a tropical landscape on its own. Released as a thank-you for 2,000 followers.

From the Japanese side, a free release.

Oji 3DWorks' "Showa-Style Japanese Room ①" is a free world with a tatami living room, shoji and fusuma, kept dim enough to swing between nostalgic photos and darker staging. The creator published a "②" with a kitchen the following month — the same theme extended rather than replaced.

On the dreamy side, another free release.

プリメロ工房's "Witch's Room" is a free world themed on a witch's private quarters, dense enough in decoration that the room itself carries the setting.

Price: ¥500–999 holds 16 items, with 13 above ¥2,000

Price Distribution

Price bucket distribution for products in this theme during the period.

The distribution runs free 9, ¥1–499 at 8, ¥500–999 at 16, ¥1,000–1,999 at 3, ¥2,000–2,999 at 6, ¥3,000–4,999 at 6 and ¥5,000+ at 1. The thickest band is ¥500–999 at 16, with a median of ¥600 — while 13 items sit at ¥2,000 or above. Parts and gimmicks in the hundreds, finished worlds in the thousands: the two-tier structure is clear.

From the nine free items, one that adds something to do.

鮪技研's "ootr Chess Board" is a chess set released free. Place it in a world and visitors can play a game. Tools for making somewhere playable circulating for free is very much this category.

July trends from a creator's view

Readers of the world category include people already building worlds, but also plenty who make avatars, outfits or props and are wondering whether to try worlds too. Here are the numbers that speak to anyone about to start.

Notes for world creators:

  1. First place doesn't require building a world — first is a ¥500 skybox, fourth a free light set, eighth ten summer props, tenth 96 plants. One sky, one light, one set of props reaches the top without raising a single wall. Sky and light cover so much of the frame that a single asset can change a whole world's read.

  2. "How many are in it" becomes the measure of value — 70 lights, 250+ books, 96 plants, 10 summer props. Count carries as much argument as quality of any single piece. And the tenth-place plants get there by splitting six species across fifteen stages each — the same motif, multiplied by the range of states it can be in.

  3. The high end is designed for running a place — OnyX at ¥5,000 carries sound-isolated rooms, a showroom, a staff room, a passcode door and a join log. Not selling a space but the kit for opening an event — that's what carries a world price into the thousands.

  4. Two in three items are tied to photography — 32 of 49. The people making avatars and outfits are the ones who need somewhere to shoot them. Maker and user overlap in the same population here, and wanting to show your own work at its best is itself the demand.

Summary

July 2025 in worlds was a month where the work that placed competed on how many variations one asset could hold. First place bundles four skies for ¥500. Behind it come 70 lights, over 250 books, 96 plants. The plants in particular reach that number by splitting six species across fifteen stages each — proof that the same motif, multiplied by the states it can be in, becomes value.

On the finished-world side, six releases of very different character: a home world with a hidden basement, a room packed with dried flowers, a Mediterranean villa, a five-room reading house. And the highest price of the month, ¥5,000, went to a lounge built for hospitality events with sound-isolated rooms and a staff area. From a single sky to a complete kit for opening a venue — worlds is a category that yields work at any grain you choose to cut it at, and July made that unusually visible.
