+![QC](/QCSimple3.jpg)
 
-First, you need to install the QuestCraft APK to your VR Headset using [SideQuest](https://sidequestvr.com) and follow the necessary steps to connect your Quest. 
+QuestCraft, utilizing Vivecraft and Pojlib, is a standalone port of Minecraft: Java Edition to Oculus Quest Headsets. With a team of four main developers and 8 third party developers, over the past year we have not only gotten the bestselling game, Minecraft: Java Edition running on Android, but we have also worked with third-party developers to bring it into Virtual Reality on the Oculus Quest line of standalone HMDs.
 
-Next, open the QuestCraft launcher on your headset. Be sure to grant it all requested permissions. Once complete, follow the on-screen prompts to enter your Minecraft login details and wait for QuestCraft to download any remaining files.

+## Supported Renderers (Take note when installing mods!)
+### **We have a [list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12yUTO_HgAEyZFoETxmzqaxPZrOUF1ocaQjbi_u5U2jI/edit?usp=sharing) that contains supported mods that are not in the ModManager! You can also add to this list with this [form](https://forms.gle/TRU7NN4YdgR4oDeW9)!**
+These are renderers that you can toggle on anytime. Each of them comes with their own benefits. **Note that GL4ES and Zink already have performance mods installed. (see [the mod list.)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12yUTO_HgAEyZFoETxmzqaxPZrOUF1ocaQjbi_u5U2jI/edit?usp=sharing)**
+- ### GL4ES
+GL4ES (**[OpenGL ES](https://www.khronos.org/opengles/#)**) has moderate speed, with moderate mod compatibility. Complex mods like Distant Horizons and Immersive Portals may not work.
+- ### Zink
+**[Zink](https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/zink.html)**, while being primarily slow, has great mod compatibility. Complex mods like Distant Horizons and Immersive Portals should work.
+- ### Vulkan
+**[Vulkan](https://www.vulkan.org/)**, while being very fast, has low mod compatibility. Complex mods like Distant Horizons and Immersive Portals should work.

-## Recommended Mods
+- **[Smooth Boot](https://modrinth.com/mod/smoothboot-fabric)** (Makes Minecraft loading smoother)
 
-QuestCraft is mildly slow by itself because minecraft is a very badly optimized game. QuestCraft already includes a couple of mods to enhance the performance, but here is a (not comprehensive) list of some more recommended mods to enhance the experience:                                             
+- **[Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium)** (Improves FPS and fixes graphical issues)
 
-**NOTE: When installing (supported) mods on your Quest, you may need to update a dependancy that's bundled in with QCXR (Fabric API, Sodium, etc.). However, this may lead to issues, ranging from unexpected behavior to crashes! If you experience any, please [file an issue](https://github.com/QuestCraftPlusPlus/QuestCraft/issues/new/choose)!**
+- **[Starlight](https://modrinth.com/mod/starlight)** (Improves the lighting engine)
 
-- [Architectury API](https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api) (Library for plenty of mods)
-- [Debugify](https://modrinth.com/mod/debugify) (Fixes many Minecraft bugs)
-- [Exordium](https://modrinth.com/mod/exordium) (Decrease GUI framerate to speed up world rendering)
-- [Indium](https://modrinth.com/mod/indium) (Uses the Fabric Rendering API to allow many mods to work with Sodium) (**NOTE: You must have the latest [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium) version in order for the mod to work, otherwise the game WILL crash.**)
-- [LambDynamicLights](https://modrinth.com/mod/lambdynamiclights) (Adds dynamic lights to light emitting blocks. Example, when holding a torch on your hand.)
-- [Mod Menu](https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu) and [YetAnotherConfigLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/yacl) (Allows you to see and (with YACL) configure installed mods.)
-- [Memory Leak Fix](https://modrinth.com/mod/memoryleakfix) (Fixes random memory leaks to reduce RAM usage)
-- [More Culling](https://modrinth.com/mod/moreculling) (Culls not just leaves, but loads of other things to improve performance. Installing [More Culling Extra](https://modrinth.com/mod/morecullingextra) will also add more culling features!)
+- **[Tweakeroo](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tweakeroo)** (Big QOL mod that changes alot of things)
 
-At the moment, Iris and Canvas do not work. Distant Horizons support is planned, but may take a while.                                                   
+- **[VivecraftMod](https://github.com/ferriarnus/VivecraftMod)** (Port of Vivecraft to run on Fabric)
 
-## Some Recommended Settings and Tips 
-1. In the options menu, go to VR Settings/Stereo Rendering and set the resolution (NOT CAMERA RES) to 80%. This will decrease the general quality, but will give an extra performance boost.
-2. The game's render distance is best at 4. 5 works, but you may encounter lag spikes when using it. 6 and above, you are on your own.
-3. Oceans contain LOTS of kelp that decrease framerate. Don't mine any of it all at once, as your game may CRASH if lots of entites (in this case, kelp waiting to be picked up) exist at once.
-4. Skyblock and Oneblock worlds perform the best, as they require less hardware usage.
-4. You are able to max out Biome Blend if you have QCXR 3.1 or later!
+- **[Simple Voice Chat](https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat)** (Adds proximity voice chat)
 
+**Iris and shaders in general are not yet available in QC. Installing any will crash the game!**
 
+## Some Recommended Settings and Tips (For Zink and GL4ES)
+1. In the options menu, go to VR Settings/Stereo Rendering and set the resolution (NOT CAMERA RES) to 80%. This will decrease the general quality, but will give an extra performance boost.
+2. The game's render distance is best at 4-6, but you *may* encounter lag spikes when using it. 9 and above is not recommended.
+3. Oceans contain LOTS of kelp that decrease framerate. Don't mine any of it all at once, as your game may CRASH if lots of entities (in this case, kelp waiting to be picked up) exist at once.
+4. [Skyblock](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Skyblock) and [Oneblock](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/worlds/oneblock) worlds perform the best, as they require less hardware usage.
