								Archipelago depends on worlds to provide game-specific details like items, locations and output generation.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Those are located in the `worlds/` folder (source) or  `<insall dir>/lib/worlds/` (when installed).

								apworld provides a way to package and ship a world that is not part of the main distribution by placing a `*.apworld`
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								file into the worlds folder.

								## File Format
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								apworld files are zip archives with the case-sensitive file ending `.apworld`.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								The zip has to contain a folder with the same name as the zip, case-sensitive, that contains what would normally be in
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								the world's folder in `worlds/`. I.e. `worlds/ror2.apworld` containing `ror2/__init__.py`.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 |

								The zip can contain arbitrary files in addition what was specified above.

								## Caveats
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Imports from other files inside the apworld have to use relative imports.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Imports from AP base have to use absolute imports, e.g. Options.py and worlds/AutoWorld.py.
