+	<description>
+		<p>
+			Multicraft is an infinite-world block sandbox game and game engine.
+		</p><p>
+			Players can create and destroy various types of blocks in a
+			three-dimensional open world. This allows forming structures in
+			every possible creation, on multiplayer servers or in singleplayer.
+		</p><p>
+			Multicraft is designed to be simple, stable, and portable.
+			It is lightweight enough to run on fairly old hardware.
+		</p><p>
+			Multicraft has many features, including:
+		</p>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Ability to walk around, dig, and build in a near-infinite voxel world</li>
+			<li>Crafting of items from raw materials</li>
+			<li>Fast and able to run on old and slow hardware</li>
+			<li>A simple modding API that supports many additions and modifications to the game</li>
+			<li>Multiplayer support via servers hosted by users</li>
+			<li>Beautiful lightning-fast map generator</li>
+		</ul>
