'''Multiplayer''' is an optional game mode in which [[#Player Limit|1–4 players]] can join the same world through split-screen, over LAN, or by IP address. Multiplayer is available on the PC (Linux/Mac/Windows) and console (PS4/Switch/Xbox One) versions, but not on mobile (iOS/Android) or PS Vita.

'''Multiplayer''' is an optional game mode in which [[#Player Limit|1–8 players]] can join the same world through split-screen, over LAN, or by IP address. Multiplayer is available on the PC (Linux/Mac/Windows) and console (PS4/Switch/Xbox One) versions, but not on mobile (iOS/Android) or PS Vita.

The player who created the world is the "host", and the other players are "farmhands". The host has the save file on their system, and can play it in both multiplayer and single-player mode. If the host isn't online or the farm isn't currently open to other players, then farmhands can't access the world or their characters in that world. Farm ownership can't be transferred to farmhands without [[Modding:Index|modding]].

The farm can contain up to 3 [[cabin]]s (selectable during farm creation). For each cabin built, one player can join the farm. If the farm starts with fewer than 3 cabins (including if the farm was begun as a singleplayer save file), Robin can build up to 3 cabins total on the farm for {{price|100}} (and different materials, depending on the type of cabin) each. Cabin-building is instantaneous, so extra cabins can be built on the first day of the game.

The host player can also demolish a cabin at any time. Demolishing a cabin removes its occupant from the game, and places their inventory in a [[chest]] located where the cabin was.

A cabin can be upgraded at the [[Carpenter's Shop]] by the farmhand who occupies it, but not by the host or any other player. The interior layout of an upgraded cabin is identical to the interior of an upgraded farmhouse. As with the farmhouse, the physical footprint of the cabin does not change when upgraded.
