 # Forge Mod API
 
-This repository contains the implementation of the Hypixel Mod API for the Froge Mod Loader in 1.8.9 for end-users. If you are a developer, and are looking to utilise the API you should look at the core [Hypixel Mod API](https://github.com/HypixelDev/ModAPI) repository.
+This repository contains the implementation of the Hypixel Mod API for the Forge Mod Loader in 1.8.9 for end-users. If you are a developer, and are looking to utilise the API you should look at the core [Hypixel Mod API](https://github.com/HypixelDev/ModAPI) repository.
+
+## Usage
+
+Add the HyPixel Maven repository to your build:
+
+```kotlin
+repositories {
+    maven("https://repo.hypixel.net/repository/Hypixel/")
+}
+```
+
+Then depend on the Forge Mod API. This will automatically pull in dependencies too.
+
+```kotlin
+val version = "1.0.0.2"
+dependencies {
+    modImplementation("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge:$version")
+    // If you use ForgeGradle 2 you might need to use fg.deobf or deobfCompile instead. Consult your MDK for tips on how
+    // to depend on an obfuscated dependency
+}
+```
+
+From here on out you can use the [HyPixel Mod API](https://github.com/HypixelDev/ModAPI#example-usage) directly.
+
+### Bundling the HyPixel Mod API
+
+When using the HyPixel Mod API you need to instruct your users to
+[download](https://modrinth.com/mod/hypixel-mod-api/versions?l=forge) the mod api and put it in their mods folders.
+
+Alternatively you can bundle a loading tweaker instead. This involves a bit more setup, but will result in your mod
+containing a copy of the mod api and at runtime selecting the newest available version of the mod api.
+
+First you need to have a shadow plugin in your gradle setup. Note that normal `fileTree` based JAR copying does not
+work, since we will need to relocate some files. Instead, use the [shadow plugin](https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow)
+or make use of a [template](https://github.com/nea89o/Forge1.8.9Template) with the plugin already set up.
+
+Once you have your shadow plugin set up you will need to include a new dependency:
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    modImplementation("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge:$version") // You should already have this dependency from earlier
+    shadowImpl("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge-tweaker:$version") // You need to add this dependency
+}
+```
+
+Make sure to relocate the `net.hypixel.modapi.tweaker` package to a unique location such as `my.modid.modapitweaker`.
+
+Finally, add a manifest entry to your JAR pointing the `TweakClass` to `my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker`
+(or otherwise load the tweaker using delegation).
+
+```kotlin
+tasks.shadowJar {
+	configurations = listOf(shadowImpl)
+    relocate("net.hypixel.modapi.tweaker", "my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker")
+}
+
+tasks.withType(org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar::class) {
+	manifest.attributes.run {
+		this["TweakClass"] = "my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker"
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Now your users will automatically use the bundled version of the mod api.
