+# Exclusion Zone
+An incredibly cursed pile of spaghetti code that builds into a more-or-less functional mod for Fabric 1.20.4
+
+### What does it do?
+- Adds a few utilities that I miss from modded when playing Vanilla
+- A dangerous new custom biome
+- Adds some structures, which create a small pocket of said custom biome in the area
+- Some unique loot items with no purpose besides being display pieces
+- Potion of Milk
+
+## Mechanics
+The Exclusion Zone is intended to be used on a server standalone, to add a little flavor to Vanilla Minecraft, without
+completely overtaking the game.
+
+It works fabulously when paired with TheEpicBlock's [PolyMc](https://github.com/TheEpicBlock/PolyMc) in order to allow
+fully Vanilla clients to join a lightly modded server.
+
+The features EZ adds are intended to be unobtrusive by default,
+while still giving server owners the power to convert vast swaths of terrain into magically irradiated land. 
+
+#### The "Exclusion Zone" Biome
+When entering an Exclusion Zone (usually denoted by teal-ish particles in the air, as well as an overgrowth of moss and warped blocks),
+the player should be wary of their Toxic Buildup. This is displayed as a bar near the bottom of their screen that steadily fills over time.
+
+As Toxic Buildup increases, the player will begin to suffer more and more debilitating potion effects, eventually culminating in death.
+
+One can prevent Toxic Buildup simply by filling their armor slots.
+
+#### Archaeology
+Exclusion Zone piggybacks off the vanilla Archaeology system, implementing suspicious variants of moss and all the colors of concrete powder.
+Keep in mind, however, that only Suspicious Moss is currently available to survival players under normal circumstances. 
+
+When digging about in Exclusion Zones, one is likely to find various artifacts and relics of an ancient civilization. Make up your own lore,
+it's more fun that way :)
+
+
+## Building the Mod
+Building Exclusion Zone is as easy as cloning the repository and running the `genSources` gradle task, followed by the `build` task.
