Work in progress!

This article is currently undergoing development and in the process of receiving additional information. You can edit it to achieve a higher standard.

Lists are user-created collections of user levels in Geometry Dash, introduced in Update 2.2. Uploaded lists can be shared with other users, while developer-approved lists reward diamonds after a specified number of their levels have been completed.

Lists can be accessed through the Lists button in the online menu. The list search and creation interfaces can also be reached through the Search and Create menus respectively.

Description

Lists provide a method of grouping user levels under a shared name, description, difficulty and visual icon. They function similarly to Map Packs but are created by users, can contain varying numbers of levels and do not normally require every included level to be completed.

Each uploaded list receives a separate list ID. Its levels appear in an order chosen by the creator but can be selected independently rather than being completed sequentially. Individual levels retain their normal difficulty, rewards and completion status.

Creating and editing

A new list can be created by opening the Create menu, switching from My Levels to My Lists and selecting New. Its creator can enter a name and description, assign a difficulty and choose an icon to represent it.^[1]

Levels are added by opening a user level's information page and selecting the list button. This displays the user's existing lists and provides an option to create another one. The editing interface allows included levels to be removed and rearranged.

A list can also be copied, allowing its selection and ordering of levels to be saved as a separate local list. When finished, the upload button publishes it to the servers. As with uploaded user levels, the title cannot be changed after publication.

Finding and interacting

The main Lists button displays developer-approved lists. Other uploaded lists can be found through the Search menu by switching from level searches to list searches. Lists can be searched by name or ID and filtered by their assigned difficulty.^[1]

An uploaded list displays its:

name and description;
creator;
assigned difficulty;
list ID;
included levels and their order;
number of levels required for its reward, if approved;
diamond reward, if approved;
downloads, likes and comments.

Registered users can like or dislike an uploaded list and post comments. Lists can also be shared through their list IDs. List comments use the same server system as level comments, with a list represented internally by the negative equivalent of its list ID.

Approval and rewards

The developer can approve a list and assign it a diamond reward. Approved lists appear through the Lists button in the online menu and are identifiable by the reward and completion requirement displayed on their information pages. Unapproved lists remain searchable but do not provide an additional list reward.

Each approved list specifies how many of its included levels must be completed. This requirement can be lower than the total number of levels in the list, allowing any sufficient selection of its levels to be used. Completing every remaining level does not provide another list reward.

After the required number has been completed, the diamond reward must be claimed from the list page. Claiming it increases the account's list-reward statistic and counts towards the associated achievements. Attempting to claim it too early causes the Mechanic to state how many more levels must be completed.

Unlike rated user levels, an approved list does not award creator points to its creator. As of Update 2.2, Moderators also cannot send lists through the in-game level-sending interface; list requests are instead submitted separately for review by the developer.

Achievements

Seven achievements are awarded for claiming list rewards. Only claimed rewards count; the number of diamonds received and the total number of levels completed do not determine progress.^[2]

Achievement	Requirement	Reward
Lists?!	Claim 1 list reward	Cube 246
I'm Listening	Claim 10 list rewards	Cube 173
List-avaganza!	Claim 25 list rewards	Ball 52

Geometry Dash Lite

The standard Lists button is not present in Geometry Dash Lite. It is replaced by the Bonus tab, which provides a rotating selection of ten Platformer levels. These levels are selected by the developer and do not function as ordinary user-created lists.

Trivia

Lists were announced as part of Update 2.2 and released with the update on 19 December 2023.
Unlike Map Packs, lists do not award secret coins.
An approved list can contain unrated levels.
The difficulty assigned to a list describes the collection rather than changing the ratings or rewards of its individual levels.
The same user level can appear in multiple uploaded lists.
List rewards count only when manually claimed. Merely satisfying the completion requirement does not advance the list-reward achievements.
List comments are stored through the level-comment system using the negative equivalent of the list ID.

 ==Description==
-Lists function as user-created collections of [[User Levels|user levels]], effectively superseding [[Map Packs]]. User levels can be added to lists via a button on the level info page and rearranged via the lists menu in the Create tab. On the lists menu, lists can be renamed, given a difficulty, given a description, and uploaded. Like user levels, lists cannot be renamed once they have been uploaded. Once uploaded, a list can be liked, disliked, or commented on in the same way as user levels. Lists can also be featured, awarding diamonds to the player for completing a certain number of their levels. Unfeatured lists do not give rewards.
