+# bounty
+
+Bounty mod for MTG. Originally written by **Bas808** in May of 2014, modified by CSirolli in May of 2018. My GitHub repo was lost, so I had to start over in December of 2024. Original concept and code can be found here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9355
+
+This mod can be used for placing bounties on players. Bounties are placed or removed in increments of 20 points. If a player with a bounty is killed, that player drops a reward, which the killer can collect.
+
+## Chat Commands
+
+Using the chat command `/bounty <player_name>` adds a 20 point bounty to that player.
+
+The chat command `/forgive <player_name>` removes 20 points from the player's bounty.
+
+The third chat command is `/bounties` and is used for displaying all bounties on players.
+
+## Rewards
+
+Whenever a player with a bounty is killed, they drop different items depending on how large the bounty is. Here is a table showing this relationship:
+
+    Points = Reward
+    ---------------------------------
+    20     = "default:wood 50"
+    40     = "default:cobble 50"
+    60     = "default:stone 40"
+    100    = "default:steel_ingot 2"
+    200    = "default:steel_ingot 5"
+
+These values and items can be changed in the `init.lua` file.
+
+## To Do
+
+* Require users with special privs to use chat commands
+* Lower bounty on one player if they kill/capture another player with bounty
+* Allow for capturing
