-Jets of Time supports multiworld through Archipelago.  This feature is currently in extremely early beta testing.+Jets of Time supports multiworld through Archipelago.  This feature is currently in beta testing.  As such, it is not part of the default Archipelago install.  Follow the instructions below to add Jets of Time to an existing Archipelago installation and get started playing.
  
-Key items are shuffled across the various worlds, all other locations will contain items for your own world.+===== What is Multiworld? =====
  
-===== What you will need =====+Multiworld is a multiplayer experience where each runner plays their own seed, but can find items for another player in their world. These other worlds could be Jets of Time, or even a number of other games supported by the platform.  It is a cooperative experience where players work together to find each other's progression so that everyone can beat their games. 
 + 
 +===== What Gets Shuffled and where? ===== 
 + 
 +All key item locations and all chronosanity chests become a new placeholder item named "APItem". When you receive an APItem, the multiworld client/server will detect that you checked a location and send the appropriate item to the receiving player. 
 + 
 +In standard game mode, only the normal key item locations will contain progression items.  All other chests can contain useful or "junk fill" items, like gear, consumables, ammo, non-essential powerups, etc.  This is to ensure that players running standard mode who may not be familiar with all of the chronosanity chest locations cannot block another player in the multiworld by accidentally missing a chest that contains a progression item.

   - If you receive an item while in the middle of a cutscene, do not move.  Receiving an item can return control to the player at unintended times, and moving where the game doesn't expect you to be can cause problems with cutscenes.    - If you receive an item while in the middle of a cutscene, do not move.  Receiving an item can return control to the player at unintended times, and moving where the game doesn't expect you to be can cause problems with cutscenes. 
 +  - When finding an APItem for yourself, sometimes the client can send the item before the treasure text shows up from the chest.  This will cause the treasure chest text to say that you received the item itself rather than the APItem, followed by the client delivering the item.  This looks a little funny, but the item is only actually received once.
 +  - If you receive an item while standing on a save point, pressing A will cause the save menu to open instead of closing the text box, causing the player to get stuck on the save point.  If this happens, hold a direction away from the save point and tap A for one frame.
