What is Decentraland?
Decentraland is an open, browser-based virtual world owned by its users. Visitors explore it with a customisable avatar, from a web browser or the Decentraland desktop app, and can meet other people, attend events and visit 3D spaces built by creators and brands.
What is a Decentraland World?
A Decentraland World is a standalone 3D space that is not part of the main Genesis City map. Each World has its own address, usually linked to a Decentraland name such as yourname.dcl.eth, and anyone with the link can enter it.
Worlds are a simple way to publish a personal or branded space without buying LAND parcels in Genesis City.
Worlds vs LAND: what is the difference?
• LAND is a parcel on the shared Genesis City map. It is limited, traded as an NFT and often expensive.
• A World is a separate space with its own address. It does not need LAND, which makes it much cheaper to publish.
• LAND gets passing traffic from the main map. A World is visited through its link, so you share it with your audience.
• Both run the same Decentraland technology, so avatars, chat and events work the same way.
How do people visit a World?
Visitors open the link of the World in a browser or in the Decentraland app, choose or create an avatar, and arrive directly in your space. No download is required to try it in a browser.
How to create a Decentraland World without code
Building a World usually requires 3D modelling and the Decentraland SDK. With M-Rivers you skip both: you upload six photos for the six landmarks of your world, our AI pipeline creates optimised 3D objects, places them on a world template designed for Decentraland and publishes the result for you.

• Upload photos of your Sanctuary, Totem, Vehicle, Gallery, Fountain and Garden.
• Receive the link to your World and share it.
Decentraland limits and why optimisation matters
Decentraland enforces limits on the number of triangles, textures, materials and file size of each scene. Objects that are too heavy are rejected or load slowly. M-Rivers cleans and simplifies every 3D object so that your World stays within these limits and runs smoothly for visitors.
