Configuring your YAML file

See the guide on setting up a basic YAML at the Archipelago setup guide: Basic Multiworld Setup Guide

Where do I get a YAML file?

You can customize your settings by visiting the Minecraft Player Settings Page

Joining a MultiWorld Game

Obtain Your Minecraft Data File

Only one yaml file needs to be submitted per minecraft world regardless of how many players play on it.

When you join a multiworld game, you will be asked to provide your YAML file to whoever is hosting. Once that is done, the host will provide you with either a link to download your data file, or with a zip file containing everyone's data files. Your data file should have a .apmc extension.

Double-click on your .apmc file to have the Minecraft client auto-launch the installed forge server. Make sure to leave this window open as this is your server console.

Connect to the MultiServer

Using minecraft 1.19 connect to the server localhost.

Once you are in game type /connect <AP-Address> (Port) (Password) where <AP-Address> is the address of the Archipelago server. (Port) is only required if the Archipelago server is not using the default port of

38281. (Password) is only required if the Archipelago server you are using has a password set.

Play the game

When the console tells you that you have joined the room, you're all set. Congratulations on successfully joining a multiworld game! At this point any additional minecraft players may connect to your forge server. To start the game once everyone is ready use the command /start.
