 * OptiFine shaders aren't compatible, and will probably never be unless someone contributes a PR, as I have neither the knowledge nor the interest to add compatibility for them.
 * Various coremods may be incompatible with Mixin. Use [Mixingasm](https://github.com/makamys/Mixingasm) to fix this.
 
+### About `nomixin` builds
+
+The mod comes in two flavors:
+* The regular version embeds Mixin 0.7.11, allowing the mod to run standalone. However, this makes the jar a bit larger, and can cause problems in certain use cases.
+* The version marked with `+nomixin` doesn't embed Mixin, which lets it avoid these problems. But it requires a separate [Mixin bootstrap mod](https://gist.github.com/makamys/7cb74cd71d93a4332d2891db2624e17c#mixin-bootstrap-mods) to be installed in order to run. If you have one installed already, getting this version is recommended.
