 # CheapMC
-Very Cheap Minecraft
+
+**CheapMC** is a Minecraft resource pack that represents the game in a deliberately cheap and low-quality visual style. The project is inspired by low-cost online shops that often deliver products with poor quality and inconsistent appearance.
+
+
+
+This is the **official** [**GitHub Repository**](https://github.com/deutschich/CheapMC). Feel free to contribute to the project with creating own textures and add them with a [Pull Request on the official GitHub](https://github.com/deutschich/CheapMC/pulls) to add them to the **Official Pack**! (Please pull into the `dev` Branch and **not** into the `main` Branch)
+
+## Development Status
+
+CheapMC is currently in an **early alpha stage**. At this stage, only a small number of textures differ from the original Minecraft textures. Most of the vanilla visuals remain unchanged, and new textures are added gradually over time.
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+The goal of CheapMC is to reinterpret selected Minecraft textures with a cheap, imperfect, and mass-produced aesthetic. The resource pack does not aim to fully replace Minecraft’s original visual identity, but instead modifies individual elements step by step.
+
+All textures included in this resource pack are **hand-pixelled** and created manually.
+
+## Updates
+
+CheapMC is an **actively developed** project. The resource pack will receive regular updates, adding new textures and adjusting existing ones as development continues.
