+## Welcome to Illuna Aestival
+
+This is the more simple but still unique and stunning world [Illuna](//illuna-minetest.tk) offers alonside its very complex flagship, the [TechEth](https://wiki.illuna-minetest.tk/TechEth) server.
+
+**Join our world:**  
+IP: `illuna.rocks`  
+Port: 30.000
+
+**Contribute:**  
+We are always happy to see contributions from our community!  
+To check out all the submodules, clone this repo recursive: `git clone --recursive ssh://git@git.tchncs.de:2241/Illuna-Minetest/aestivalserver-mods.git` or/and run checkout (for updates at least) `git submodule update --init`, where init is important when a new submodule was added.
+
+So you might want to do it a little like this:  
+````
+cd ~/.minetest/worlds/aestival-dev
+rm -r worldmods # as this repo shall become our worldmods directory
+# clone directly to ./worldmods 
+git clone --recursive ssh://git@git.tchncs.de:2241/Illuna-Minetest/aestivalserver-mods.git worldmods
+````
+
+### History:
+This was [our rC3 server](https://wiki.illuna-minetest.tk/Illuna_x_Minetest4Kids_rC3_Experience) in collaboration with [minetest4kids](https://minetest4kids.net/). It turns into its own little Illuna world, available early 2021.
