+# Point Teleporter [teletool]
+Version: 1.0.0
+
+## Description
+This mod adds a new tool: The point teleporter. It is a tool which allows for short-range teleportation.
+To use it, leftclick with it on any pointed node, you will be teleported next to surface of the node you have clicked.
+The point teleporter has a range of 20 node lengths, but you cannot dig or attack while holding it.
+However, to teleport, the destination needs to have enough space, there must be at least 1×2×1 nodes of passable space.
+
+Point teleporters comes in three varieties, which only differ in how often you can use them and whether and which energy source they use:
+* Infinite point teleporter: You can use it without limits.
+* Magic point teleporter: It uses 20 mana per teleportation.
+* Electronic point teleporter: It has to be charged at a battery station first. A charged one grants you about 50 teleportations. This point teleporter can be crafted.
+
+## Dependencies
+All dependencies are optional. The infinite point teleporter is always available, the existance of the other point teleporters depends on
+the installed mods.
+
+* `technic`: For electronic point teleporter
+* `mana`: For magic point teleporter
+* `default` and `technic`: For crafting recipe for electronic point teleporter
+* `intllib`: For simple translation of item names
+
+## Configuration
+You probably do not need to configure the mod, and the settings are mostly only provided for testing and using the default
+configuration is recommended. But you can change it anyways, if you wish. Configuration is done via ordinary `minetest.conf` variables:
+
+* `teletool_avoid_collisions`: Boolean. If `true`, it is not possible to teleport somewhere where you would collide with a node. Default: `true`.
+* `teletool_adjust_head`: Boolean. If `true`, you will be teleported one node lower if you clicked on the lower side of a node. Otherwise, your “head” will be initially “stuck” in the node. Default: `true`.
