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

A data-backed look at the new VRChat worlds published on Booth in May 2026, ranked by the likes they gathered. What stood out this month was that single pieces of furniture and rooms you can upload as they are ended up side by side at the top.

The month's most-liked item was a single piece of cloth that folds up, drapes over your knees, or spreads into a full cover (1,268 likes). Let's start there and work down.

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: [For Worlds] Multifunctional Blanket / omake's factory

A world blanket that switches between three shapes: folded, draped over the knees, and spread out as a full cover. ¥1,000. It gathered 1,268 likes to take first place in May.

Cloth placed in a world is usually there to be looked at. A blanket folded on a sofa keeps that shape, and nobody who sits down can pull it over their lap. This one changes form where it lies — from folded, to a lap blanket, to a cover that wraps you completely.

Controls are built for both VR and desktop. A small UI appears when your hand comes close, and the size is adjusted with the right stick. If you don't want anyone else moving it, a long press locks it in place, and the way it settles onto a floor or a seat is handled by ground detection, so you aren't nudging its position every time you set it down.

There are 60 colors — plain, stripes, checks and florals across the board, plus 14 stripe patterns keyed to avatar color schemes, so you can pick one that matches a particular character. A curled-up cat model is bundled in as well, and tucking it into a corner of the sofa adds a lived-in feel on its own. A sample world with all 60 laid out is published too, so you can look before you choose.

#2: [3D Environment] LostMetropolis | Collapsed City / つきのすとあ

A collapsed-city environment pack that lets you assemble a skyline of ivy-covered towers. ¥1,990. A new release from つきのすとあ, who placed third in April 2026 with a flower field and grassland pack, it took second with 1,252 likes.

Building a ruined city yourself means modeling every tower and then sculpting exactly how each one broke apart. This pack ships 55 prefabs covering both intact and collapsed buildings, along with rubble, abandoned cars, traffic signals, street lamps, ivy, dead trees, weeds and roads — everything you'd find lying on the street.

What pays off when you actually lay out a city is that lightweight versions are provided as separate prefabs for the distance. The 44m tower is 14,176 tris up close and 704 far away, so swapping in the light version for the back rows lets you fill the horizon without the cost. There's also a skybox material that turns the sample scene's view into the sky itself, which means you can build only the block in front of you and let the painted sky carry everything beyond it.

The baked sample scene comes in around 63MB — a swing from the natural scenery of that earlier pack to decaying concrete.

#3: [Sale World] Twilight Grotto / Soooma VR Store

A finished twilight world with a modern resort built into the inside of a cave. ¥7,500 — the only item above ¥5,000 among the 20 in scope. A new release from Soooma VR Store, the creator behind Stellar Nest which placed fifth in July 2025, it took third with 958 likes.

Terraces overlooking a waterfall and warm wooden lounges are layered into the hollowed-out rock, leading to seating areas under fabric canopies and warm bulb light. Furniture is kept low and plants fill the floor line so your gaze settles downward, and the longer you stay the more the place works on you.

The depth here is that 14 gimmicks for playing and for running the place are already in. A projector for video, mirrors at your choice of quality, a soundproofed room where voices don't carry, a night mode that swaps the sky, and switches to turn particles or chair colliders off individually. On top of that there are NPCs that walk around on their own, a join log, and a spawn that returns you to where you left off — the pieces you need to actually host people.

It's tuned to run comfortably on standalone Quest, so inviting friends without a PC doesn't break the experience.

#4: VARAYA/SUISOU (+AQUARIA Addon) / VARAYA OnlineShop

An aquarium running on Udon whose contents you rearrange yourself. ¥2,300 for the base, 722 likes for fourth.

A fish tank sets the character of a room the moment it goes in. The catch with most ready-made tanks is that the fish and plants are fixed in place, so "I just want more of this one fish" isn't something you can act on.

With SUISOU, anything you drop into the fish container whose name starts with "Fish" starts swimming as a fish. Obstacles go into a separate container and the fish route around them. Driftwood, plants and rocks come as swappable prefabs, so the layout is yours down to how the gravel is spread. Three ready-made layouts are included if you'd rather just place it.

An addon that adds low and small tanks is ¥700, and the base plus addon together is ¥3,000. For installation, real-time lighting is heavy enough that baking is recommended, and the page notes that putting a light probe inside the tank keeps the fish properly lit — the kind of detail you'd otherwise find out the hard way.

#5: Room CityVista by Coquelicotz / Imaginary Caravan

A bare concrete room looking out over a distant city. ¥2,500, 716 likes for fifth.

Exposed concrete walls and level changes make up the whole space, with a sofa, a bed, a few plants and a TV placed sparingly. Outside the window is a city at night backed by mountains — and that view is actual geometry rather than a painted backdrop, so walking along the glass shifts the buildings against each other.

Three scenes are included — rain, night and sunset — and which one you open and upload changes the mood of the room. Rain draws thin streaks down the glass; sunset pushes orange across the floor. One floor plan, three faces, chosen to suit the shot you want.

A neat technical touch is the dedicated shader that carries fog into the mirror. VRChat mirrors tend to drop fog from the reflection, leaving the distance unnaturally crisp, and this brings the two back in line. The video player and pen are yours to add. A metal-finish replacement pen model is thrown in as a bonus.

#6: Free House / ひさおの素材

A warehouse world left white, with no textures applied. Published for free, 659 likes for sixth.

The first wall you hit when starting a world is the shell: raising walls, framing a roof, running beams, deciding where the door and the shutter go. Until that's standing, furniture has nowhere to sit.

This one hands you that shell, white. Steel trusses across the ceiling, fluorescent fixtures, a shutter, a raised stage with a screen, shelving and a sofa — around 170,000 polygons in total. With no textures on it, the color and material are entirely your call: concrete makes it an industrial warehouse, wood grain makes it a warm garage.

World settings and a baked lighting scene are included, so you can upload it as-is and walk through first. The creator also publishes a modified sample world, letting you see how far the white shell can be taken before you start. A support version with identical contents is listed at ¥500 for anyone who tries it and wants to chip in.

#7: [VRC Ready World] BREEZE / おとり工房

A split-level room with wind running through it toward a dawn sky. ¥2,800. A new release from おとり工房, the creator behind Velune which placed sixth in April 2026, it took seventh with 580 likes.

A ceiling fan turns overhead and lace curtains billow inward from wide-open windows. Both the curtains and the lights carry animation, with shafts of light angled across the space, so it reads as a room with air moving through it rather than a still set.

The layout runs from a living room with a sofa and a bar counter, up a few steps to a loft bedroom, out to a balcony, and down to a small workroom. Because the areas are separated by level rather than walls, people talking and people resting settle naturally into different spots.

Two unitypackages are included: a full pack with a video player, mirror and pen already wired in, and a plain version without any of that setup, the latter usable for game or film work. The room is 91,473 tris, with colliders, light baking, light probes and reflection probes all set. It's confirmed working on both PC and Quest 3S.

#8: Chill Space / ぱんだ庫

A roofed wooden chill space made to drop into an empty corner of a large world. Published free by ぱんだ庫 to mark 4,000 followers on their Booth store, it took eighth with 565 likes.

Build a big world and you inevitably end up with dead space. An open floor doesn't hold anyone, but put down one place to sit and that corner turns into where people meet and talk.

It's a plank bench with a mattress, a backboard and a roof, scattered with a star-shaped cushion, a pillow and checked seat pads. The roof carries no collider, so nobody's head snags on it walking in and you can drop straight onto the mattress. It reads fine indoors, and just as well out in a garden or a plaza.

Textures are meant to be swapped, so applying patterns you already have pulls the fabric toward your own world's look. The lightmap UVs are prepared, so it bakes cleanly without touching the import settings. May also brought a white house standing over the sea from the same shop.

#9: "MonduRoom" World Building Kit / iromey

A building kit that assembles a luxury-apartment-style room from walls, floors and ceilings. The basic set is free; 515 likes for ninth.

The part of room-building that quietly eats time is the box itself — settling wall heights, matching floor to ceiling, nudging pieces until the seams line up. It's easy to stall there before ever reaching the fun part of arranging furniture.

The kit breaks walls, floors, ceilings, doors and lighting into 25 prefabs, all sized to whole numbers. Set Unity's grid snapping to 1 and the pieces click together on their own, with almost no manual adjustment. Prefabs for three room sizes are included as well, so you can drop a box in first and extend the floor plan by adding walls.

The finish is a polished luxury-apartment look, and arranging furniture in the pre-set sample scene is all it takes to finish a room. lilToon and Mochie Shader are required for correct display. Note that the 8K night-view skybox behind the windows is sold separately, bundled at ¥700 — so you can lay out the floor plan on the free set first and add the view when you want it.

#10: Callbell System / Birdhouse-Design

A call system where a guest rings a bell and the table number lights up on the staff panel. ¥1,500, 473 likes for tenth.

Cafe and bar events run constantly in VRChat, but orders are usually called by voice or a raised hand, which starts dropping requests as soon as the room fills. Callbell System moves that handoff onto the same footing as a real service bell.

Touch the bell at a table and that table lights up on the panel; when several calls overlap, the oldest one blinks, so which table to take next is obvious at a glance. Staff clear it by touching the panel, and a guest who pressed by mistake can cancel by touching the bell again. The audio is split as well: the bell is heard only by the person who rang it, while the panel plays to everyone within four meters — so other guests' conversations stay undisturbed.

Setup is a matter of picking the panel and the table number from dropdowns in the bell's inspector, and numbers already assigned are marked "in use", which rules out registering the same table twice. Four bell colors pair with three panel colors across up to twelve tables, and a later update added sub-panels so the kitchen and the counter can each have one. It works with lilToon without baking, on PC, Android and iOS alike.

May 2026 Trends

Beyond the ranking, here's what the data says about all 20 worlds published on Booth in May 2026. The Top 10 breaks down into four finished worlds ready to upload, five place-and-go assets, and one Udon-driven system.

Features & gimmicks: moving parts you reach out and touch

Feature tags came in at Udon 6, world gimmick 5, world-fixed 5, lilToon 4 and Quest support 2. Among the Udon-driven items that reached the top, the ones that landed react to being touched rather than moving the space itself. The blanket at #1 changes shape on contact, the aquarium at #4 swims whatever model you drop in, and the bell at #10 reports the table you touched.

Working in the same direction, one item just outside the Top 10 caught the eye.

ミドナうどん工房's "A Gimmick to Pull Distant Objects Force-Style" lets you hold Use with your hand pointed at a distant object and draw it toward you. It works on objects that aren't set up as pickups and on ones with gravity disabled, and whatever you're aiming at gets an outline so you know what you're about to grab. Pull distance, which hand to use and whether the laser pointer shows are all configurable, and installation is a matter of dropping it into the scene. Published for free.

Keywords: photography, and the names of furniture

The top keyword is "for photography" at 16 of 20 items — four in five tied to shooting, continuing the pattern of worlds being sought as backdrops for avatars and outfits. World asset 11, interior 10 and home world 10 follow, and after that the list fills with the names of things that go inside a room: table 8, sofa 7, living room 7, bed 6, bedroom 6, houseplant 5.

Within that push toward rooms people live in, one item went further on the question of scale.

かなめりぜ不動産's "Cottage with a Nook" is a small-group cottage built around the warmth of wood. A living room, a counter and a nook set into the wall give it three distinct ways to spend time, and the space is sized for short avatars, assuming heights of 110–140cm. Nine furniture types and over twenty props are modeled from scratch; framed art changes by swapping a texture and the accent wall by swapping a material. It runs 32MB and around 260,000 polygons with Android and iOS support, at ¥1,500.

Taste: natural and modern side by side

Taste tags put natural and modern level at 6 each, followed by stylish 5, fantastical 3 and healing 3. Rooms held together by wood grain and spaces built from concrete and glass arrived in equal number — and the Top 10 mirrors it neatly, with the warm timber of #7 against the bare concrete of #5.

On the natural side, one item brings a whole season with it.

RootGentleの店's "Wisteria Tree Set" is a set of 3D wisteria with blossoms hanging in long racemes. Three colors — violet, pink and white — across eight different tree shapes, plus attachment parts that add flower volume so the same tree can bloom more heavily. Falling petal particles and separate day and night materials mean it works for a Japanese garden or a night shoot alike. ¥2,500.

On the fantastical side, an object made purely to be looked at also did well.

だまこや's "Metaball Stand" is a display piece where pink glowing spheres drift inside a clear case, merging and splitting like liquid. There's no gimmick to it — it's there to be watched. Four shapes are included: sphere, ellipsoid, cube and cylinder, at ¥500. The shop's showroom world lets you see it in person before deciding.

Price: a median of ¥1,250 as the two-tier split softens

The distribution runs free 4, ¥1–499 at 2, ¥500–999 at 2, ¥1,000–1,999 at 5, ¥2,000–2,999 at 5, ¥3,000–4,999 at 1 and ¥5,000+ at 1. The median is ¥1,250, and seven items — a third of the field — sit above ¥2,000.

World prices usually split into two tiers: a few hundred yen for parts and gimmicks, a few thousand for finished worlds. In May, ten items landed in the ¥1,000–2,999 middle and filled that gap. The blanket at #1 at ¥1,000 and the aquarium at #4 at ¥2,300 show what did it — single furniture pieces moved up into the low thousands.

In that band, one release gathered a shared concept into a set.

ぱんだ庫's "HorizonTrilogy" bundles three white-house assets built out over the sea. All three share the idea of a structure on the water reached by a pier, with SoftHorizon, ClearHorizon and NaturalHorizon differing in rooftop terraces, bean bags and planting. Regular price is ¥2,500, which puts it within reach compared with buying each separately. Taken with the chill space at #8, ぱんだ庫 published everything from a free furniture piece to a series of houses on the water across the single month.

May 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 from the Top 10 and from May as a whole that speak to anyone about to start.

Notes for world creators:

Summary

May 2026 in worlds was a month where single pieces to put in a room and rooms you can live in as they are ended up shoulder to shoulder at the top. First place went to a blanket that turns from folded to lap cover to full spread as you touch it. Below it stood finished worlds of very different character — a resort in a cave, a concrete room above a city, a split-level home with wind through it — with an aquarium, a chill space and a collapsed-city pack filling the gaps. The median price rising to ¥1,250 comes from the same shift: individual furniture pieces moved into the low thousands.

Worlds is a category where one fish tank, one bench or one call bell is enough to stand as a piece of work. Someone opened a white warehouse for free as a base to build on, someone handed out furniture at a follower milestone, someone made the walls and floors free and sold only the view — different approaches, all starting from "get it placed first." If you've been making avatars or props, that skill already runs straight into worlds. Start with the one thing you wanted in your own room.
