Game worlds can be customized to a great extent. In single player this is done simply through the "Customize" button when creating a new world. If you however changed your mind or updated to a new version, many of these configurations can be changed for existing worlds. The world configurations can also be set before a world is created through the serverconfig.json file.
General usage
/worldconfig name
Show current configuration value/worldconfig name value
Set a configuration value/worldconfigcreate datatype name value
Creates a new configuration value. This is necessary when setting some configurations for the first time (datatype can befloatdoubleintstringandbool)
Please note: Commands are case-sensitive. Type them exactly as you see, except for the [ ] shown in below command syntax, which is intended only to show which values can be changed! The pipe (|) symbol is there to seperate allowed values, e.g. [true|false] means you can set true or false here

The default starting climate is "temperate" in the northern hemisphere. But the Vintage Story world is not a sphere and not divided in half. Rather, climate bands repeat until the world ends. With a Standard playstyle's default setting, the polar-equator distance is 100k, and the player would spawn roughly halfway between the equator and north pole.
While the equator is around 50,000 blocks away, the player could reach different types of plants and animals sooner than that: around 20k blocks south, the player might encounter animals and plants that exclusively spawn in the south.
Players tend to explore southwards for milder climates; some players trek to the north pole. But they still usually stay within the first few thousand blocks of the spawn coordinates.
Multiplayer
/worldconfig allowLandClaiming [true|false]
Whether players are allowed to use the land claiming system. (default: true)/worldConfig classExclusiveRecipes [true|false]
If true, class exclusive recipes are enabled (default: true)/worldConfig auctionHouse [true|false]
Whether the auction house is available to players (default: true)
