+Source installation information for modders
+-------------------------------------------
+This code follows the Minecraft Forge installation methodology. It will apply
+some small patches to the vanilla MCP source code, giving you and it access 
+to some of the data and functions you need to build a successful mod.
+
+Note also that the patches are built against "un-renamed" MCP source code (aka
+SRG Names) - this means that you will not be able to read them directly against
+normal code.
+
+Setup Process:
+==============================
+
+Step 1: Open your command-line and browse to the folder where you extracted the zip file.
+
+Step 2: You're left with a choice.
+If you prefer to use Eclipse:
+1. Run the following command: `./gradlew genEclipseRuns`
+2. Open Eclipse, Import > Existing Gradle Project > Select Folder 
+   or run `gradlew eclipse` to generate the project.
+
+If you prefer to use IntelliJ:
+1. Open IDEA, and import project.
+2. Select your build.gradle file and have it import.
+3. Run the following command: `./gradlew genIntellijRuns`
+4. Refresh the Gradle Project in IDEA if required.
+
+If at any point you are missing libraries in your IDE, or you've run into problems you can 
+run `gradlew --refresh-dependencies` to refresh the local cache. `gradlew clean` to reset everything 
+(this does not affect your code) and then start the process again.
+
+Mapping Names:
+=============================
+By default, the MDK is configured to use the official mapping names from Mojang for methods and fields 
+in the Minecraft codebase. These names are covered by a specific license. All modders should be aware of this
+license, if you do not agree with it you can change your mapping names to other crowdsourced names in your 
+build.gradle. For the latest license text, refer to the mapping file itself, or the reference copy here:
+https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MCPConfig/blob/master/Mojang.md
