 An example mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 with Forge focussed on a stable, updatable setup.
 
+### Motivation
+
+We had our fair share in struggles with build scripts for Minecraft Forge. There are quite a few pitfalls from non-obvious error messages. This Example Project provides you a build system you can adapt to over 90% of Minecraft Forge mods and can easily be updated if need be.
+
+### Getting started
+
+1. Fork this repository (you can keep the fork to simplify merging any build script updates in the future)
+2. Clone repository
+3. Replace placeholders (e.g. modid, author(s) name, etc.)
+4. Run `./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace`
+5. Make sure to checkout the rest sections of this file.
+6. You are good to go!
