Hollow Knight MultiWorld vs VARIA Randomizer

Hollow Knight MultiWorld is a free, open-source set of add-ons for Hollow Knight Randomizer 4.0. MultiWorld distributes randomized items across linked game files for cooperative play, while the separate ItemSync add-on shares randomized pickups among players in a room. Players can use local randomizer mods, keep their own randomizer settings, choose nicknames shown when their items are collected elsewhere, and coordinate through a room code. The server assigns a random identifier to each randomization, allowing multiple sessions to run at once. Players can save, reload, reconnect, and rejoin to recover MultiWorld data after a crash before their first save. Mods are available through Scarab, which installs dependencies. Documentation lists a public server and explains local hosting with MultiWorldServer.exe; WAN access requires forwarding port 38281. The project supports Windows, offers advanced customization, seed sharing, and multiworld support, and is licensed under LGPL-2.1. Detailed spoiler logs are planned.
