userconstructed

Userconstructed is an adjective used to describe artifacts, content, or configurations that are created by end users rather than by developers or automated systems.

The term covers items built by users using provided creation tools, such as level editors, configuration panels, templates, or scripting interfaces.

In video games, userconstructed content includes levels, maps, or mods created with in-game editors. In software ecosystems, users may build extensions, templates, or customized workflows. In education platforms, learners may create problem sets, simulations, or datasets for projects. In data-sharing contexts, contributors assemble user-constructed datasets or models.

Quality, licensing, and safety are common considerations. Platforms often address these through moderation, licensing terms, attribution requirements, and guidelines for acceptable content.

Related concepts include user-generated content, mods, and community-created content. The distinction from user-generated content is that userconstructed emphasizes the act of building with tools, while user-generated focuses on the end content.
