The world is where all of Core Keeper's gameplay takes place.
Selection
After selecting a character to play with, the player will enter the world selection menu where they select a world to enter.
In the menu the following features of a world are shown: slot, name, icon, difficulty, creation date, boss statues activated, and if the world is classic. On the right side there is a button to delete the world and another that opens the world information menu.
The world information menu shows a world's seed and generation settings used. It also allows the player to add new world generation to existing worlds, in the form of "content bundles":
