This page details pre-release information and/or media for Dragon Quest Builders.

To do:
Upload some item icons for comparison with the screenshots. Double check what items exist what are different, etc.

The screenshots on Dragon Quest Builders' official site have a handful of prerelease changes to look over, nothing as wildly different as some of Dragon Quest Builders 2's repertoire, though.

Pre-release

Final

A lot of the items in these screenshots either no longer exist or had their icons completely changed, only a handful are comparable matches. At a glance here, it seems like a lot of the plant-based materials were either cut or consolidated into fewer different items.

The crafting menu categories are differently organized.

More item icon differences, the icon for Flagstone (the one highlighted in the screenshot) looks particularly rough.

The bed roll icon is different. This exact blueprint does not appear anywhere in the game. Most blueprints that are used generally don't bother putting blocks over the door.

Pre-release

Final

In the final game the poison swamp terrain transition is not this sudden. There is also poison swamp mixing with regular water in the prerelease screenshot, not something that happens by default terrain arrangements in the final game, though this can be achieved by the player.
