+# Mintest Mod: ads
+
+This Mod shows messages you can define in a defined interval (default: 15 Minutes). It can be configured in different languages. Suitable for servers
+
+# Configuring:
+In the `init.lua` file you can define the languages, messages and the interval between the messages. The changes will apear after an restart of the server.
+
+with `/ads_language <language>` every player can decide in which language your configured ads will be shown. The default is the second one (english) *you will understand that better, when you look in the init.lua file*
