-SRG Names) - this means that you will not be able to read them directly against
-normal code.

+mod. Simply create a new repository cloned from this one, by following the
+instructions at [github](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template).

 Mapping Names:
-=============================
+============
 By default, the MDK is configured to use the official mapping names from Mojang for methods and fields 
 in the Minecraft codebase. These names are covered by a specific license. All modders should be aware of this
 license, if you do not agree with it you can change your mapping names to other crowdsourced names in your 
 build.gradle. For the latest license text, refer to the mapping file itself, or the reference copy here:
