-## 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 1.12** (later known as “Java Edition”)
-* MineClone2 also includes Optifine features supported by the Minetest
-* In general, Minecraft is aimed to be cloned as good as possible
-* Cloning the gameplay has highest priority
-* MineClone 2 will use different assets, but with a similar style
-* Limitations found in Minetest will be documented in the course of development
-* Features of later Minecraft versions are collected in the mineclone5 branch
-
-## Using features from newer versions of Minecraft
-For > 1.12 features, checkout MineClone5. It includes features from newer Minecraft versions.

+## Target
+- Crucially, create a stable, moddable, free/libre clone of Minecraft
+based on the Minetest engine with polished features, usable in both
+singleplayer and multiplayer. Currently, most of **Minecraft Java
+Edition 1.12.2** features are already implemented and polishing existing
+features are prioritized over new feature requests.
+- With lessened priority yet strictly, implement features targetting
+**Minecraft version 1.17 + OptiFine** (OptiFine only as far as supported
+by the Minetest Engine). This means features in parity with the listed
+Minecraft experiences are prioritized over those that don't fulfill this
+scope.
+- Optionally, create a performant experience that will run relatively
+well on really low spec computers. Unfortunately, due to Minecraft's
+mechanisms and Minetest engine's limitations along with a very small
+playerbase on low spec computers, optimizations are hard to investigate.
 
 ## Completion status
 This game is currently in **beta** stage.
