-This is an example README.TXT
+This directory holds the actual data for the Minecraft servers which are
+managed by minecproxy/minecctl.
+
+You need to download the Minecraft server .jar file and place it in this
+folder.
+
+The recommended approach is to download the version(s) of your choice
+and to store them with version numbers.
+
+So, for example, if you go to the minecraft.net server download page[1]
+and download version "1.16.1", then save it in this directory as
+"minecraft_server.1.16.1.jar".
+
+Next, create a symlink to the newly downloaded server to make it the default
+version by executing "ln -sf minecraft_server.1.16.1.jar server.jar".
+
+Whatever "server.jar" is pointing to will be used as the default server
+version.
+
+If you wish to use a particular server version for a particular server
+configuration, change the symlink in the corresponding server directory
+so that it points to a specific server version.
+
+For example, if server "myworld" should be at version 1.15.1, do the
+following (assuming you've already downloaded the corresponding
+Minecraft server .jar):
+
+cd myworld
+rm server.jar
+ln -sf ../minecraft_server.1.15.1.jar server.jar
