+# Mineclone2-Lectern
+---
+A ground up creation of a lectern to be used in MineClone 2. Requires Minetest and Mineclone2.
+---
+
+Created by Michieal (FaerRaven) @ DateTime: 01/07/2023 (07JAN2023)
+
+* Made for MineClone 2 by Michieal.
+* Texture made by Michieal; The model borrows the top from NathanS21's (Nathan Salapat) Lectern model; The rest of the
+  lectern model was created by Michieal.
+* Creation date: 01/07/2023 (07JAN2023)
