+## Project description
+The main goal of **MineClone 2** is to be a clone of Minecraft and to be released as free software.
+
+* **Target of development: Minecraft, PC Edition, version 1.11** (later known as “Java Edition”)
+* Features of later Minecraft versions might sneak in, but they have a low priority
+* In general, Minecraft is aimed to be cloned as good as Minetest currently permits (no hacks)
+* Cloning the gameplay has highest priority
+* MineClone 2 will use different graphics and sounds, but with a similar style
+* Cloning the interface has no priority. It will only be roughly imitated
+* Limitations found in Minetest will be written down and reported in the course of development
 
 ## Completion status
-This game is very unfinished at this moment. Expect bugs! Expect chaos
+This game is currently in **alpha** stage.
-and destruction to rain down on your worlds whenever you update! ;-)
+It is playable, but very unfinished, many bugs are to be expected.
+Backwards-compability is *not* guaranteed, updating your world might cause small and
+big bugs (such as “missing node” errors or even crashes).

-The focus on this clone lies especially on gameplay and to reflect it as good as possible.
+* Different textures (Pixel Perfection)
-Ideally, no gameplay features will be added or removed.
+* Different sounds (various sources)
-A secondary goal is to make modding easy as pie. Minetest is of great help here!
+* Different engine (Minetest)
-Trying to stay faithful to the original look and feel is a side goal, but not an important one.
+* Free software (“free” as in freedom *and* free beer)
-If deemed neccessary, MineClone 2 *will* deviate from Minecraft in interface issues.
-There's already a built-in crafting guide and a full-blown in-game help system.
-Finally, any limitations found in Minetest (the game engine) will be written down in the course
