This is a collection of Baba Is You custom levelpacks, curated by myself, that can act as a good starting point for anyone looking to get into playing community-made Baba content.
It was originally hosted on the Baba Is You Discord Server within the "levelpack-has-merit" channel - but since there have been plans to reformat it I have decided to archive the original version here.

A challenging pack filled with "aha!" moments, an obvious favourite among many baba veterans! And that's for good reason - it's a gauntlet of complex, tightly-designed levels that'll leave you scratching your head for hours.

There's no text in this pack. The mechanics for each of the different objects are, quite simply, as expected. Baba is YOU. Rock is PUSH. Keke is MOVE. Flag is WIN. Level is DIFFICULT and has INTRICATE SOLUTION. It's basically just pure sokoban that pushes the limits of how these different base mechanics interact with each other. It's very clever.

That baba sure do be travelling. The main focus of this pack is on presenting the player with an array of difficult levels, tied together with unique environments and a pretty world map. There's an emphasis on manoeuvring objects around like a sokoban, rather than making or breaking certain rules. There's a lot of complexity here!

You want something difficult? Really? You sure? Well, here you go. Babanother takes a whole bunch of levels from the basegame and tweaks them *ever* so slightly. These changes are carefully engineered to massively change the solution and difficulty of the original level. It's not for the fainthearted!

This pack tests the limits of how far an unmodded pack can go, using hidden text trickery to create custom properties and cutscenes, each of which are neatly divided into sectioned off corners of the map. It also has a few custom sprites, and it's own OST!

An exploration into a bunch of different ways that letters can be interpreted. The mechanics are clever in a, "Huh, I never thought of looking at things like that," kind of way, and make a lot of sense once you understand how they work. Features a custom soundtrack!

Using the modded word "PERSIST" (created specifically to be used in this pack), Persistence explores the implications of what's essentially the level-transform mechanic on steroids. So as not to give too much away, this pack goes completely off the rails in the best way possible, some of the puzzles requiring you to visit multitudes of different maps and levels in order to solve!

If you're chasing an experience that's similar to the basegame, this is for you! Repose teaches and explores a handful of the new words that don't appear within the basegame levels in a distinctly baba-like fashion.

Face off against the evil Wug in a Zelda-inspired world, with an emphasis on keeping things fun over complex puzzle solving! Accompanying you on your adventure are various mashups of classic Zelda songs in the baba style which are just absolutely fantastic.

This pack involves meta shenanigans, and a lot of it. Much like a spiderweb, most of the levels are connected to each other in some way, and it quickly becomes a tricky tightrope navigating the increasingly complex sequences of levels.

Originally started as a list of level codes (compiled by Patashu) and intended for people unable to play levelpacks, it now comes in levelpack form too - courtesy of hutthutthutt! The whole thing contains 150+ levels (that's 9 worlds!) of high quality, community-made content.

Instead of having a typical level progression, this pack has a character progression. Play through the same level over... and over... and over again... each time with a different main character, and thus a different playstyle! Plus, there's some pretty neat custom art and music if I do say so myself :)

Using Plasmaflare's "Mega Modpack" - a huge collection of mods by different creators - Modded Medley throws tons of interesting new properties, conditions, and text types at you. Unfortunately, the pack assumes you understand how these words work already: it's recommended to start with Nimi's Garden first!

A remix of the main campaign, New Adventures, and Museum, with a twist - a counter at the top of the screen ticks down with every move, disabling the win-con once it reaches zero. This essentially forces you to beat each level in as few moves as possible.
Discordby Randomiser
The directions you can move within each level are dictated by arrows at the top of the screen. How many times you press each direction, however, is entirely up to you. This seemingly simple idea leads to incredibly intricate level design...

by Alphons6
All the levels in this pack are inspired by the infamous “Prison” from the main campaign. While this *sounds* awful, the level design is simplistic, and the visuals are downright gorgeous. That's not to say this is an easy pack, though - it's actually very complex!

by InUniverse
A pack focused on playing through 2 mirrored levels at the same time. Levels are designed in a way that makes it impossible to desync the player characters - making headaches a lot less frequent!

An oldie, but a goodie. There’s not much of an overarching theme to the levels, and it’s a little outshined by more modern packs, but it's still an overall fun time.

Explore a series of interconnected caves and figure out the mechanics as you go. The only hitch is the very start: you can only spawn on doors with a star, and to create those, you have to enter an adjacent level, collect all of the gems, and then enter a connecting door. It's a little complicated, but very very fun.
Discordby Marlowe
A constant suggestion for this list ever since its release, Nimi's Garden is one of the best levelpacks out there. The worlds are gorgeous - filled to the brim with hand-made custom objects and art - and utilise the Mega Modpack to create TONS of excellently designed puzzles!

Every copy of Baba Is You is personalised. This levelpack introduces the property "NOT", which is an incredibly powerful mechanic that extends further than you could ever imagine. Due to this, it can get quite complicated, so the pack also comes pre-installed with a HINT feature on the pause menu.

This pack explores what could have been a headache-inducing concept in an incredibly easy-to-understand way. Through the press of T, you can fluidly switch between the past and future states of the current level. It's overall just an elegant implementation of the mechanic with charming puzzle design to boot.

Tree of Skills adds unlockable superpowers that are collected by walking into them. They're all super unique and each one could probably support it's own levelpack, but it's when you use them in tandem that the levelpack really starts to shine. Plus, their integration is downright seamless!
