+# Level packs
+
+A level pack is a collection of levels that belong together.
+
+This is the best way to store and share custom levels, but it requires
+Lua programming skills to add a new level pack.
+
+To add a new level pack, a new Luanti mod must be created containing these things:
+
+1) Level schematic (`*.mts`) files. These are for the blocks
+2) Level metadata in a level data CSV file. This contains all information that
+   the schematic file cannot hold, e.g. title, boundary blocks, weather, sky, etc.
+   The level data CSV specifies the metadata for ALL levels at once.
+   This file also defines the level order. Levels at the top will be played first.
+3) Lua code to register the level pack (see below)
+
+The Lua mod must depend on `lzr_levels`.
+
+## File structure
+
+Normally, the file structure of the mod is as follows:
+
+* `mod.conf`: Must declare dependency on `lzr_levels`
+* `init.lua`: Lua code to register level pack (see below)
+* `data/level_data.csv`: CSV file for level metadata for ALL levels
+* `schematics/`: The level `*.mts` files go here
+* `solutions/`: (optional) Level solution files `*.sol.csv` go here.
+* `locale/`: (optional) To store the locale files, if present
+
+Some of these file locations may be changed by parameters of the
+function `lzr_levels.register_level_pack`.
+
+## Register the level pack
+
+To register a level pack, you must call `lzr_levels.register_level_pack`.
+The full definition of this function can be found in the code comment above that
+function in the `lzr_levels` mod.
+
+If successful, the level pack will appear in the game under the custom levels menu.
+
+### Example
+
+A simple example with one level, translated into German.
+
+First, the file structure:
+
+* `mod.conf`
+* `init.lua`
+* `schematics`
+    * `example.mts`
+* `data`
+    * `level_data.csv`
+* `locale`
+    * `example_levels.pot`
+    * `example_levels.po.de`
+    * `example_levels_level_names.pot`
+    * `example_levels_level_names.de.po`
+    * `example_levels_npc_texts.pot`
+    * `example_levels_npc_texts.de.po`
+```
+
+local S = minetest.get_translator("example_levels")
+
+lzr_levels.register_level_pack("example",
+	{
+		title = S("My Example Levels"),
+		description = S("Some example levels to test things."),
+		textdomain_npc_texts = "example_levels_npc_texts",
+		textdomain_level_names = "example_levels_level_names",
+	}
+)
+```
