+
+Originally created by
+AUTOMATIC_MAIDEN, it was ported to Minecraft 1.7.2 by asie, and maintained by Pokefenn during 1.7.10.
+
+The second iteration of the mod contains loads of new blocks, new features like the autochisel and chisel modes, and lots of bugfixes.
+
+It is maintained by [Cricket](github.com/TheCricket), [tterrag](github.com/tterrag1098), [warlordjones](github.com/warlordjones), [Drullkus](github.com/Drullkus) (Artist), and [CptSpaceToaster](github.com/CptSpaceToaster).
Pull Requests
---------------
-If you wish to create a pull request with an awesome new feature, a language translation or even a bug fix. That's cool but please push to the correct branch which is dev. That is the working branch. Master is for releases only.
+
+Pull requests with new features, translations, and bufixes are very welcome. Please make sure to always submit PRs against the ***dev*** branch, not master.
+
+Do not make PRs that are solely formatting or other aesthetic things.
+
+If your PR is going to take a lot of work, it may be best to make an issue so we can discuss the feature before you create it.
+
+See the [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) file for more details.
