+Description
+===========
+
+
+0. About
+--------
+
+Minetest is a free and open source voxel-game engine, it provides the foundation
+for creating, modifying and running multiplayer voxel-games. At its core beats
+a C++ engine which is controled with Lua scripts.
+
+
+1. Multiplayer by default
+-------------------------
+
+The very core is designed for multiplayer games, of course one can play offline
+and all on their own, but Minetest makes it extremely easy to just start a server
+and invite friends over. This comes at no additional cost for the developer,
+mods and games for Minetest are automatically single- and multiplayer ready.
+
+
+2. Moddable by default
+----------------------
+
+Minetest games are structured in multiple mods, which are simple directories
+which contain the Lua code which is run. A game can consist of one or multiple
+mods and the user has always the possibiliy to remove or add additional mods
+without much effort.
+
+This also means that Minetest allows you to build your own game by simply adding
+the mods that you would like to use, no programming required.
+
+
+3. Lua and simplicity
+---------------------
+
+The combination of Lua and the simplicity of the API make it a joy to use. With
+only a few lines of code functionality can be implemented and an existing game
+extended. The API allows control over nearly every aspect of the engine, and
+getting started with it is as easy as adding a single file and writing a few
+lines of Lua.
