# apworld Specification
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).
See [world api.md](world api.md) for details.
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`.
## Metadata
No metadata is specified yet.
## Extra Data
The zip can contain arbitrary files in addition what was specified above.
