What are world packs?

World packs are ready-made pieces of a world that creators share with each other. A pack can hold lore entries, locations, world tables, instruction blocks, trackers, world settings and story beats. Characters never travel in a pack.

Adding a pack copies its items into your world. From then on they are yours: edit them, rename them or delete them like anything else you wrote. Nothing in your world changes when the pack's author edits their pack, unless you choose to update.

Finding packs

The World pack library at /packs lists every published pack. Search it, sort by most added, newest or recently updated, and filter by what a pack contains (only packs with locations, for example).

Open a pack to see everything inside it before you commit: each item is shown with its text, keywords and pictures. Like a pack with the heart next to Add to a world to help others find the good ones. The library sometimes features one pack as the Pack of the day, picked by the Imagina team.

Adding a pack to your world

There are two ways in:

• From a pack's page, click Add to a world and pick one of your worlds. The editor opens on that world with the pack ready to add.
• From the world editor, open the menu and pick Add from world pack library. The library opens for that world: packs it already has are marked, and a pack's page offers Add to this world (or Update in this world), which takes you back to the editor to confirm.

Before adding, choose what happens when your world already has an item with the same name: Add renamed copy keeps both, Keep mine leaves yours alone.

Lore entries and instruction blocks keep their folders in a pack, and a pack's contents are shown grouped under them. Adding or updating a pack rebuilds those folders in your world by name. A folder you already have in the same place is reused, and a missing one is created.

Items that came from a pack are marked in the editor, with a note naming the pack and its author. Your published world credits the packs it was built with.

Updating a pack you added

When a pack you added has a newer version, the world pack library in the editor says so and offers Update. An update refreshes the pack's items in place and adds new ones. It never deletes anything from your world, and an item you renamed or removed is left alone.

Making your own pack

Open Your world packs from the creator portal (/create/packs).

• New world pack: name a blank draft, then add items in the pack editor. You can also copy items from a world through its Publish as world pack menu.
• Import a lorebook: turn a lorebook file, story cards or an Imagina world export into a draft pack.

Publish as world pack lists lore entries and instruction blocks under their folders. A folder's checkbox picks everything inside it, subfolders included, and shows a dash when only part of it is picked. Adding items from a world in the pack editor works the same way.

A new pack starts as a draft. In the pack editor you can rename it, write its description, upload a square cover, edit or remove items, add more from another of your worlds, and mark it as mature content. Click Publish when it is ready. Later edits stay in a draft until you publish them as the next version, and worlds that already use the pack can update to it.

If a pack has no cover, its card shows a picture from one of its locations, or a tile drawn from what it contains.

Mature packs are only shown to creators who have mature content turned on. Unpublishing a pack takes it out of the library, and worlds that added it keep their copies.
