+# Paintball
+
+Minecraft Plugin enabling users to play versions of Paintball. 
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> This plugin is currently under development and release has not been finalized. Bugs are expected.
+
+## Quickstart
+Download the .jar file corresponding to your server version and insert in `plugins` folder.
+Once loaded, assign players to teams with
+
+```/changeteam <TeamName> <player>```
+
+Toggle gamemode with
+
+```/gametype [PAINTBALL/QUICKFIRE/FROSTBITE]```
+
+Finally, start the game with
+
+```/start```
+
+## Gameplay
+
+### Paintball
+The default paintball gamemode currently offers a single weapon with a set cooldown. More customization features are planned in the future.
+Last team alive wins.
+
+### Quickfire
+A faster paced version of paintball with quickcharge crossbows, where players have fewer hearts of health by default. Each crossbow shot deals one heart.
+Last team alive wins.
+
+### Frostbite
+Tagging players with a bow freezes them in place, but frozen players can be revived by unfrozen teammates with a punch. Last team alive wins.
+
+## Development
+
+Feature requests, bugs, feedback, etc. can be made [here](https://github.com/rspacerr/Minecraft-Paintball/issues).
