+The Minecraft Overviewer
+========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+The Minecraft Overviewer is a command-line tool for rendering high-resolution
+maps of Minecraft worlds. It generates a set of static html and image files and
+uses the Google Maps API to display a nice interactive map.
+
+The Overviewer has been in active development for over a year and has many
+features, including day and night lighting, cave rendering, mineral overlays,
+and many plugins for even more features! It is written mostly in Python with
+critical sections in C as an extension module.
+
+For a simple example of what your renders will look like, head over to `The
+"Exmaple" Map <http://overviewer.org/example/>`_. For more user-contributed
+examples, see `The Example Wiki Page <https://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer/wiki/Map-examples>`_.

+built executables available for download on our `Github Homepage`_.
