+# Kingdoms and Magic by Beha
+The Kingdoms + Magic modpack is designed to allow kingdom vs kingdom PvP in Minetest, along with a wide variety of spells and nodes to attack and defend kingdoms.
+
+Interesting features include:
+
+* A fully formspec-based kingdom manager.
+* Chat channels for the area, your kingdom, and everywhere.
+* Many magic crystals and essences which combine to form powerful devices and spells.
+* Several damage types and defenses.
+* Reward blocks found in dungeons.
+* The ability to hunt mobs via missile bombs.
+
+# Modifications
+This modpack contains some alternative versions of mods with modifications to work better alongside the main kingdoms/magic combination.
+
+* bones: drop items upon explosion, respect kingdom heavy_chests level.
+* doors: respect kingdom levels, add heavy doors.
+* tnt: respect explosion blockers/absorbers, work better with objects and mobs, deal damage through magic.damage_obj.
+
+# Compatability
+
+Kingdoms is mostly compatible with other mods by default, but mods that register locked/owned items or query protection may need some tweaking.
+Protection should be tested with kingdoms.player.canpos rather than minetest.is_protected (unless testing for digging/building rights.) This is not critical, but it will result in less-flexible kingdom levels.
+All locked/owned items should be replaced with tests for kingdom levels or is_protected. At the very least, allow maxlevel members of the kingdom to remove the nodes by force.
+
+# Recommended/Tested Mods
+
+* 3d_armor is fully compatible with kingdoms + magic and provides a variety of protections against all forms of "fleshy" damage. Kingdoms will disable the healing feature automatically.
+* unified_inventory is hooked into with a kingdoms button.
+
+* Most hunger mods will work, the mana bar from magic is placed above the usual hunger bar location.
+* Most mob mods will be compatible with magic's damage system.
