Miliastra Wonderland is Genshin Impact’s built-in player-created-content mode, not a separate game or external creation service. Inside the normal Genshin Impact client, you can play stages made by other players, customize a Manekin avatar, or use an in-game editor to build and publish your own playable experiences. HoYoverse says the feature requires no separate download.
The mode launched with Version Luna II in October 2025 and has continued to gain tools and modes. As of October 1, 2026, HoYoverse reported more than 90,000 “Craftspeople” (its term for creators) and more than 120,000 published Wonderland stages. Those totals are publisher-reported, so treat them as a snapshot rather than an independently audited count.
What is Miliastra Wonderland in Genshin Impact?
Miliastra Wonderland is an integrated user-generated-content (UGC) module in Genshin Impact. It gives players a separate space within the game to discover custom stages, play them, and create new ones with an in-game editor. The October 2026 HoYoverse announcement explicitly says there is no separate download; Wonderland is accessed through Genshin Impact itself. HoYoverse’s October 1, 2026 creator report describes the feature as free inside the game.
This is more than a level browser. A player can participate as a visitor, an avatar designer, a stage builder, or a creator of interactive scenes. The launch preview by Zhenzhong Yi, HoYoverse’s Studio Technical Director, described the system as one that lets players “explore hundreds of imaginative stages created by other players” in a PlayStation Blog post dated October 10, 2025. Read the launch preview.
How is Wonderland different from Teyvat?
Teyvat remains Genshin Impact’s authored open-world adventure. Wonderland is a creator space attached to that game, with its own stage-selection and editing workflows. HoYoverse’s launch material says Manekins (also called Manekinas in some descriptions) can be customized for Wonderland and that their customization can also be used outside Wonderland in Teyvat. That makes the mode feel connected to the main game without making it a second, standalone title.
How do you unlock and enter Miliastra Wonderland?
At launch, HoYoverse instructed players to complete Act I of the Archon Quest Prologue, “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind,” before access became available. The launch instructions then directed players to enter through the Paimon Menu or a quick-access option. Those are October 2025 requirements, not a guarantee that the October 2026 build uses exactly the same gate, so check the current in-game notice if the menu option is missing.
- Progress through the opening Archon Quest. Complete Act I of the Prologue quest named “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind,” following the launch-era requirement.
- Open the Paimon Menu. Look for the Miliastra Wonderland entry or the currently displayed quick-access shortcut.
- Choose how to participate. You can browse published stages, open your Manekin customization, or enter the creation tools rather than immediately building a stage.
- Read the current notice if access is unavailable. Quest gates and menu labels can change with updates, and HoYoverse has not published a complete, permanently current unlock matrix in the material available for this overview.
The feature launched in Version Luna II on October 22, 2025. That date is historical context, not a statement that Luna II is the current version.
What can you do in Miliastra Wonderland?
Play community-made stages
The simplest use is to select and play stages published by other players. At launch, HoYoverse highlighted hundreds of creations ranging from management simulations and party games to player-versus-player battles and adventure challenges. Later examples show that the catalog is not limited to one format: creators have built action-adventure puzzles, social-deduction scenarios, shooter-style experiences, sports competitions, tower-defense maps, and cosmic-horror settings. The variety comes from player-authored rules and environments rather than from separate genre-specific downloads.
Build and publish your own experiences
The editor lets you assemble a stage, define its interactions, and publish the result for other Genshin Impact players. A published stage can be a conventional game challenge, a social space, a tutorial, or a cinematic environment. The distinction matters: “making a game in Genshin” means using Wonderland’s tools and assets inside Genshin Impact, not exporting an independent executable or distributing a project through an outside storefront.
Customize a Manekin
Manekins function as customizable player avatars for Wonderland. HoYoverse’s launch preview also says those customization choices can be used outside the mode in Teyvat, giving the feature a cosmetic connection to the main adventure. The available appearance options and placement rules can change, so use the current editor and character-customization screens as the authority for what is selectable in your account.
Create non-game scenes
HoYoverse’s October 2026 creator report includes creators who use Wonderland as a filmmaking set. A stage can therefore be designed for camera work, guided movement, or storytelling rather than score-chasing. The same report notes one specific limitation: in the described creator workflow, Classic Mode did not support Camera Mode. That is a limitation reported for that mode and workflow, not proof that every Wonderland mode lacks camera tools.
How does the Miliastra editor work?
The editor combines scene-building with a visual scripting system called Node Graphs. Nodes provide a way to connect triggers, conditions, actions, and game logic without requiring a traditional code editor. Visual scripting can still become complex: advanced stages may demand careful logic design, testing, and an understanding of how the available nodes interact. It is safer to describe Node Graphs as an accessible entry point, not as a promise that every sophisticated creation requires no technical learning.
Learn with Craftspeople Academy
HoYoverse’s creator report describes the Craftspeople Academy as a source of step-by-step video tutorials and a general guide. These resources are intended to help a new creator move from a blank stage to a functioning project, while experienced builders can use them to understand newer tools. The Academy is particularly useful when a stage involves several linked systems, because a visual graph can be difficult to troubleshoot by trial and error alone.
Choose a realistic first project
- Start with one mechanic. A short obstacle course, simple puzzle, or small arena gives you a contained way to test interactions.
- Prototype before decorating. Verify that triggers, win conditions, and resets work before spending time on scenery or cinematic framing.
- Use a genre that matches your goal. Competitive stages need clear rules and balance; horror or filmmaking environments need pacing, camera control, and atmosphere.
- Document what you learn. HoYoverse quotes creator Chryzel describing a cycle of learning, writing guides, and improving through reader questions and feedback. That approach can help when a graph or tool behaves unexpectedly.
What updates have changed Wonderland since launch?
HoYoverse has added features over several Luna updates. The notices below are dated examples of development, not a complete list of everything available in the October 2026 build.
| Update | Date | Announced Wonderland changes |
|---|---|---|
| Version Luna II | October 22, 2025 | Miliastra Wonderland launched as a new UGC system with player-made stages, Manekin customization, and in-game creation and publishing. |
| Version Luna IV | January 14, 2026 | HoYoverse announced a new Classic Mode that lets players invite selected Teyvat characters into stage adventures. |
| Version Luna VI | April 8, 2026 | The update details listed a larger lobby capacity, new special-effect generators for Craftspeople, more flexible skill editing, and additional UI resources. |
For exact patch notes, consult the Luna IV announcement and the Luna VI update details. Because these changes arrived at different times, a guide written for the launch version may not describe the current editor, lobby limits, or Classic Mode accurately.
How large is the Wonderland creator community?
In its October 1, 2026 creator report, HoYoverse said the community had grown to over 90,000 Craftspeople and over 120,000 Wonderland stages. The same announcement dates Wonderland’s launch to October 2025. “Over” means the figures are lower bounds, not exact totals, and HoYoverse is the source of the measurements.
The numbers also describe two different things. A Craftsperson is a creator account or participant identified by HoYoverse, while a stage is an individual published experience; one creator can make more than one stage. The catalog therefore cannot be read as a count of unique people playing each day or as a guarantee that every stage is active or equally polished.
Examples in the report show why a single popularity label would be misleading. Some creators focus on action puzzles or competitive formats, while others make tutorials, social-deduction scenarios, or filmmaking sets. Wonderland is functioning as a mixed creator community rather than a single standardized game mode.
Is Miliastra Wonderland free, and which platforms support it?
There is no separate Wonderland purchase in the cited material; HoYoverse describes it as a free feature inside Genshin Impact. You still need a supported Genshin Impact installation and an account that can reach the relevant menu or quest gate.
The available notices do not establish a complete, current regional platform matrix specifically for Wonderland. The Luna VI update material includes update instructions for PC, iOS, and PlayStation, while the launch preview discusses PlayStation 5 availability. That supports those platform references but does not justify claiming that every Wonderland tool, mode, or region is identical across devices.
Genshin Impact supports cross-progression and co-op at the game level, but HoYoverse’s general description should not be treated as proof that every Wonderland mode has the same multiplayer or cross-platform behavior. Check the stage’s current rules and the platform-specific notice before planning a co-op session or a creator workflow around a particular device.
Can a Miliastra creator earn money or prizes?
HoYoverse announced the “Amongst the Thousand Stars: Wonderlands Creator Contest” on September 23, 2026. The notice describes an entry route through the Miliastra Sandbox and rewards for eligible creations published after Version 7.1. Contest deadlines, eligibility, judging criteria, and reward terms are event-specific, so read the official contest notice before entering.
A contest should not be confused with a standing creator-payment program. The available announcement does not establish that every creator earns money, that ordinary stage plays generate revenue, or that HoYoverse operates a recurring creator fund. Treat any reward claim as valid only when it appears in the current official rules for a named event.
Should you play stages or become a Craftsperson?
Playing and creating are separate ways to participate, with different time commitments and expectations.
| Choose this path | What you do | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Play community stages | Browse, select, and complete published experiences. | Fastest way to sample different genres; quality, length, and rules vary by creator. |
| Create and publish | Plan a mechanic or scene, build it in the editor, test the logic, and release it. | Requires iteration and learning Node Graphs; advanced projects can take substantially longer than a first prototype. |
| Make a tutorial or film set | Use stage tools for explanation, presentation, camera work, or guided storytelling. | Useful for education and cinematic projects, but individual modes can impose camera or feature limitations. |
If your goal is simply to see what the system offers, start with published stages. If you want to teach a mechanic, make a small repeatable example and use the Academy material to explain the graph. If you want a cinematic scene, confirm that the mode you select supports the camera controls your concept requires before building the entire set.
What should you verify before relying on an old guide?
- Unlock rules: the Prologue quest requirement and menu path come from the October 2025 launch guidance.
- Feature availability: Classic Mode, lobby capacity, effect generators, and skill editing were announced in later updates and may not be present in older screenshots.
- Platform behavior: the cited notices do not provide a complete regional compatibility table for every Wonderland function.
- Contest terms: rewards and deadlines apply to a named event and can expire or change.
- Community totals: the 90,000-plus creator and 120,000-plus stage figures are HoYoverse’s October 1, 2026 report, not an independent audit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Craftsperson” mean in Miliastra Wonderland?
Craftsperson is HoYoverse’s term for a player who creates Wonderland content. It covers people making playable stages as well as creators producing tutorials, social experiences, or filmmaking environments.
Does making a Wonderland stage require programming experience?
The editor uses Node Graphs, a visual scripting system, so you do not begin in a conventional code editor. Complex logic can still require technical planning and debugging; the Craftspeople Academy’s step-by-step lessons are the safest starting point for unfamiliar creators.
Can I collaborate with friends while building a stage?
The cited material confirms co-op for Genshin Impact generally but does not establish that every Wonderland editor mode supports simultaneous collaborative building. Check the current editor permissions and mode rules rather than assuming general co-op features apply to creation.
Where can I check whether a creator contest is still open?
Use the official contest page for the specific event and read its current deadline, eligibility, and submission rules. A contest announcement is temporary and should not be treated as a permanent reward policy.
Why might a stage look different from an older video?
Wonderland has changed across Luna updates, including Classic Mode additions, larger lobby capacity, new effect generators, skill-editing changes, and interface resources. Older videos may show launch-era tools or limits that no longer match the current build.
