-# Minecraft Docker Image
-This Dockerfile sets up a Minecraft server based on the `debian-slim` image.
+# Minecraft Container Image
 
 ## Quick Start
-By running the following and building this image, you are agreeing to
-[Minecraft's EULA](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/eula):
+Assume a clean repository (i.e., without .env and plugins.json in the top
+directory), and Docker cache. You can use `make clean` to clear specific
+default images and prune the unused build cache. However, you'll still need to
+inspect all containers and images to ensure you've removed them all.
+
+- `make clean` only removes certain images and prunes the builder cache.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Configure your build:**
+    ```
+    make configure
+    ```
+    This defaults to `make configure BUILD=basic`, but if you have directories
+    in `./scratch`, you can specify those build names here. Repository-included
+    builds are in`./builds`, but it's advised to copy `./builds/basic` or
+    whichever build configuration you are basing off and copy it into
+    `./scratch/X` to control your settings apart from the repository. This
+    separation allows you to manage your configurations independently and avoid
+    overwriting repository defaults.
+
+2.  **Build the PaperMC server:**
+
+    ```
+    make paper
+    ```
+    This builds the PaperMC server, which is likely what you want unless you
+    prefer a 100% vanilla server experience. PaperMC is recommended for its
+    performance benefits and support for Bukkit API server mods. Both
+    EssentialsX and WorldGuard suggest using Paper for better performance and
+    stability.
+
+3.  **(Optional) Install for testing:**
+
+    ```
+    make install
+    ```
+    This runs `docker compose up -d` and brings up a `minecraft-minecraft-1`
+    network/container compose stack using the `.env` and `plugins.json` in the
+    root of the repository. It includes settings for image overrides, the
+    `EULA` agreement, and a `DEBUG` option for the custom `entrypoint.sh`
+    script, Java options (defaulting to `-Xms1G -Xmx2G`), and the ability to
+    set any `server.properties` file entry using the `SETTINGS_` prefix in the
+    compose file. The purpose of `make install` is for testing only, and it is
+    advised not to rely on it for managing an actual server deployment. You
+    will likely want to add other settings not specified in the
+    `docker-compose.yml` and manage your own compose files.
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+### Image Management
+All images are tagged with `localhost/minecraft`, etc. It's acceptable not to
+override these default image names and just tag your own versions after
+building the `localhost` images. The images will include git hash information
+for extra traceability.
+
+After using the quick start, you'll get something like this:
 ```
-echo "EULA=true" > .env
+$ docker image ls
+REPOSITORY                TAG            IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
+localhost/minecraft       1.20.1-paper   814edda474c4   9 seconds ago    568MB
+localhost/minecraft-jre   latest         50350d8d3947   30 seconds ago   379MB
 ```
 
-Build the image using the Makefile:
+It is advisable to tag your own images and push them to a private container
+repository, as you'll want to avoid pushing these images to a public DockerHub
+repository due to the Minecraft EULA with typical proprietary software
+non-redistribution rules.
+
 ```
-make build
+docker tag localhost/minecraft:1.20.1-paper example.org/minecraft:1.20.1-paper
+docker push example.org/minecraft:1.20.1-paper
 ```
 
-Optionally, build _and_ run to test it:
-```
-make install
-```
-
-Feel free to use `docker compose` directly to build and test:
-```
-docker compose build
-docker compose up -d
-docker logs -f minecraft-minecraft-1
-```
