Globed

Globed is an open-source, highly customizable multiplayer mod for Geometry Dash.

Usage

In the main menu, an extra button is added to the bottom row. This button opens the Globed Menu, where you can join a server and start playing online with other people.

If you have any issues, suggestions or just want to see the development of the mod, you can join our discord server!

Support

Globed is a completely free mod, and will never require any payment to use.

But if you want to support the developer and help us pay for server expansions, you can do it on our Ko-Fi page!

As a sign of appreciation, you will get a nice purple name and a badge in-game, and a role on our discord server :)

v1.1.0

Globed now uses a different networking protocol (hybrid TCP/UDP instead of just UDP). This should fix many (but not all!) of the connection related issues, such as players not loading in a level, or the player list popup taking an infinite amount of time to load.

That means this is a required update which bumps the protocol version to 2. You will not be able to connect to an updated server without updating the mod to this version.

If you are a server owner, please read the server changelog as there have been some changes to the server.

  • Make the mute button work immediately instead of with a delay
  • Add an automatic rollback system for a certain save bug related to gauntlets
  • ^ in versions before v1.0.5 there used to be a bug that would cause your savefile to have some invalid levels. Now those will be automatically removed on startup.

v1.0.5

  • Preload icons on the loading screen (longer loading time but hopefully a lot less lagspikes in-game now)
  • Fix disconnecting when minimizing the game
  • Room popup now doesn't auto refresh, and sorts players alphabetically (also your friends are now shown before everyone else!)
  • ^ same applies for the in-game player list popup

  • Changed the voice chat volume slider to be ranged from 0% to 200% instead of 100%

The recommended way to install mods is through the in-game mod loader. You will have to manually install the .geode files you get from this page.

Some mods also require other mods as dependencies; you will need to find and install them yourself.
