+# Kotlin and Essential template for 1.8.9 client-side forge mods
+
+A small template mostly designed for my own learning and potentially future projects. Based on @romangraef's Forge 1.8.9 template.
+
+Note that I am new to Java and Kotlin, and MC modding in general: there very well could be questionable design choices or serious issues. (if you happen to notice any, I'd appreciate a note!) 
+
+Includes an example Vigilance configuration for main settings and PersistentData data class to allow easily de/serializing additional data.
+
+This template is licensed under the Unlicense (license copy present in this repository), or alternatively under [Creative Commons 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).  This means your mod, based on this template can be licensed whatever way you want, and does not need to reference back to this template in any way.
