* Doom Builder 64, created by [[Samuel Villarreal (Kaiser)]], supports mapping for the [[Doom64 EX]] engine but dropped compatibility with the other map formats.
* GZDoom Builder, created by MaxED, is an extension of DB2 with support for many advanced ZDoom and GZDoom features, such as [[3D floor]]s, [[slope]]s, [[zdoom_wiki:model|model]]s, [[zdoom_wiki:voxel|voxel]]s, [[zdoom_wiki:TEXTURES|TEXTURES]] definitions, etc. It can still be used for non-ZDoom editing as well, with the appropriate configuration files, so it can be used as a complete replacement of the normal DB2.
** 3DGE Builder, forked from GZDB, by [[Coraline Corbin Annis (Chu)]], is a modified version hacked to only support [[EDGE]], vanilla, and [[Boom]] mapping. All other port capability, as well as all GZDoom-based functions and defs, have been stripped and are in the process of being fully replaced with languages and functions native to only 3DGE's advancements. The program is tailored to EDGE, but can still be used as a replacement to DB2 for vanilla and Boom mapping as those configs still exist. The program has the most recent version of [[glBSP]] for node building, as opposed to the other forks, built from EDGE's Git repo.
** GZDoom Builder-Bugfix, forked from GZDB, offers continued maintenance and update after MaxED stopped working on GZDB.
** Ultimate Doom Builder (UDB), forked from GZDBand created by [[ZZYZX]], is the continuation of GZDoom Builder-Bugfix after the latter outgrew its original purpose of being a maintenance release. Boasting [[ZScript]] support, Visual attentuated lights and spotlights support and [[Doom 64]]'s style sector lighting support, UDB comes in a native 64 bit build thanks to the efforts of StrikerMan780 and has with various bugfixes, several performance optimizations (Courtesy courtesy of [[anotak]]), better Linux compatibility (Courtesy courtesy of [[Magnus Norddahl (dpJudas)]] & Talon 1024) and 3D mode performance improvements (Courtesy of dpJudas). *** As such, UDB requires more modern hardware than GZDB-Bugfix. Alongside Windows 7, 8 or 10, a 2.4 GHz CPU or faster is required, with multi-core being recommended. On the graphics front, UDB It requires a graphics card that has '''atleastat least''' OpenGL 3.3 support. If GZDB-BF works, UDB may not. But, if the latest GZDoom works in 3D mode, UDB will, too. Because of this, GZDB-BF will not automatically update to UDBunlike all other DB2 versions that rely on Direct3D.
** [[srb2:Zone Builder|Zone Builder]], forked from GZDB, is a modification tailored to the exclusive support of [[Sonic Robo Blast 2]].
