+## Help! I can't find the file I'm looking for!
+By default, Paper (and upstream) only import files that we make changes to.
+If you would like to make changes to a file that isn't present in Paper-Server's source directory, you
+just need to add it to our import script.
+
+1. Save (rebuild) any patches you are in the middle of working on!
+2. Identify the names of the files you want to import.

+4. Re-patch the server `./paper patch`

+## Patch Notes
+When submitting patches to Paper, we may ask you to add notes to the patch header.
+While we do not require it for all changes, you should add patch notes when the changes you're making are technical or complex.
+It is very likely that your patch will remain long after we've all forgotten about the details of your PR, patch notes will help
+us maintain it without having to dig back through GitHub history looking for your PR.
+
+These notes should express the intent of your patch, as well as any pertinent technical details we should keep in mind long-term.
+Ultimately, they exist to make it easier for us to maintain the patch across major version changes.
+
+If you add a long message to your commit in the Paper-Server/API repos, the rebuildPatches command will handle these patch
+notes automatically as part of generating the patch file. Otherwise if you're careful they can be added by hand (though you should be careful when doing this, and run it through a patch and rebuild cycle once or twice).

+Subject: [PATCH] revert serverside behavior of keepalives
+
+This patch intends to bump up the time that a client has to reply to the
+server back to 30 seconds as per pre 1.12.2, which allowed clients
+more than enough time to reply potentially allowing them to be less
+tempermental due to lag spikes on the network thread, e.g. that caused
+by plugins that are interacting with netty.
+
+We also add a system property to allow people to tweak how long the server
+will wait for a reply. There is a compromise here between lower and higher
+values, lower values will mean that dead connections can be closed sooner,
+whereas higher values will make this less sensitive to issues such as spikes
+from networking or during connections flood of chunk packets on slower clients,
+ at the cost of dead connections being kept open for longer.
