+- [ ] Decouple bundled dependencies
+### Original Minecraft resources support
+- [x] Block models
+- [ ] Block states
+- [ ] Generating texture atlas at runtime
+### Network
+- [x] Connecting to server and receiving/transmitting of packets
+- [x] Server with compression (receiving packets only)
+- [ ] Mojang account auth
+- [ ] Server with encryption
+### Physics
+- [x] Simple AABB-collision detection
+- [x] Simple physics
+- [ ] Advanced physics
+- [ ] Optimization: Octree
+### Gameplay
+- [x] Player moving
+- [x] Chat and inventory partially implemented
+- [x] GUI based on [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) library
+- [ ] Digging

+# Build
+1. Install C++17 compiler, CMake 3.8, SDL2, libZLib.
+>Linux: GCC7 and system package manager.
+
+>Windows: Visual Studio 2017 and vcpkg.
+3. Generate project-files for your compiler by CMake.
+```
+    mkdir build && cd build
+    cmake ..
+```
+2. Copy *.minecraft/version/1.12.1/1.12.1.jar/assets/* to *AltCraft-root/cwd/*
+>You can extract .jar file as .zip archive.
+
+>*/cwd/assets/minecraft/models/block/block.json* must be a valid path.
+4. Compile generated files. Content of */cwd/* will be automatically copied to directory with compiled binary.
+>Linux: `make` in directory with generated files.
+
+>Windows: Use VS2017 to open .sln file and build project.
+5. Enjoy!
