 ### Still in development, so use at your own risk!
 
 ## Features
-- Create backups of your world folder
+- Create backups of your world folders
 - Manage deletion of old backups
   - "thin" - keep last 24 hourly, last 30 daily, and use remaining space for monthly backups
   - "sequential" - delete oldest backup
 - Choose your own compression algorithm (tested with: `gzip`, `xz`, `zstd`)
 - Able to print backup status and info to the Minecraft chat
+- Can back up as many worlds as you like
 
 ## Requirements
 - Linux computer (tested on Ubuntu)

 - Make sure your compression algorithm is in the crontab's PATH
 - Make sure cron has permissions for all the files involved and access to the Minecraft server's GNU Screen
 - It's surprising how much space backups can take--make sure you have enough empty space
-- `SERVER_DIRECTORY` should be the server directory, not the `world` directory
-- Do not put trailing `/` in the `SERVER_DIRECTORY` or `BACKUP_DIRECTORY`
+- Do not put trailing `/` in the `SERVER_WORLDS` or `BACKUP_DIRECTORYs`
 - If "thin" delete method is behaving weirdly, try emptying your backup directory or switch to "sequential"
+- you can back up multiple worlds into seperate folders or all into one
+- the backup for first specified world folder goes into the first specified backup folder and so on...
