+This mod automatically adds groups to items based on item metadata.
+
+Specifically, this mod has 2 purposes:
+1) Automatically adding the group “solid” for blocks considered “solid” in Minecraft.
+2) Generating digging time group for all nodes based on node metadata (it's complicated)
+
+See init.lua for more infos.
+
+The leading underscore in the name “_mcl_autogroup” was added to force Minetest to load this mod as late as possible.
+As of 0.4.16, Minetest loads mods in reverse alphabetical order.
