 # Java Edition only
 This only supports the true version of Minecraft, not that phone and console spinoff named "Bedrock Edition".
+
+# Setting up
+## Step 1: Installing
+This will bootstrap MCSD.
+```bash
+git clone "https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/mcserverdocker.git"
+cd mcserverdocker
+mkdir server
+```
+## Step 2: Installing the server software
+Rename the jar file of your preferred server software to `server.jar` and move it into the `server/` directory.
+
+## Step 3: Modify the docker-compose.yml
+Take a look at the ports and environment variables inside the `docker-compose.yml` file and leave everything else as-is.
+
+## Step 4: Launching the server
+You need to start your server two times as we need to generate the `server.properties` file first. MCSD will do this automatically for you.
+```plain
+# Use this to launch your server every time you need it
+docker compose up -d
+```
