+Textures
+--------
+The Overviewer uses actual textures to render your world. However, I don't
+include textures in the package. You will need to do one of two things before
+you can use the Overviewer:
+
+* Make sure the Minecraft client is installed. The Overviewer will find the
+  installed minecraft.jar and extract the textures from it.
+
+* Install a texture file yourself. This file is called "terrain.png" and is
+  normally found in your minecraft.jar file (not "Minecraft.jar", the launcher,
+  but rather the file that's downloaded by the launcher and installed into a
+  hidden directory). You can also get this file from any of the third party
+  texture packs out there.
