Basic Manual setup

The Basic Manual path is for authors who already release by hand and want to keep it that way. You build the .apworld and the .whl on your own machine, attach both to a GitHub Release yourself — exactly the way you already attach the .apworld — and publish. There is no workflow file to commit, no token to configure, and no CI to learn. Oliver opens the Index PR from your published release.

This path is for worlds that live at worlds/<apworld>/ inside a fork of MultiworldGG/MultiworldGG or ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago.

Want the build and upload done for you?

If you'd rather a workflow build and attach both assets automatically when you publish a release, use the Standard Automated setup.

Standalone per-world repos

The Basic Manual path is written for worlds inside an Archipelago fork (which is how you build the .apworld with the fork's own Launcher.py). If your world lives in its own standalone repository, use the Custom Automated setup from a standalone repo.
