+BentoBox is an expandable Minecraft **1.13+ Spigot plugin** for island-type games like SkyBlock or AcidIsland.
 
-It is designed to take over ASkyBlock and AcidIsland for 1.13+ Minecraft versions.
+## About BentoBox
+
+### History
+
+ASkyBlock and AcidIsland were originally created by [tastybento](https://github.com/tastybento).
+These two plugins were sharing the same codebase, which grew fastly but ultimately became hard to maintain.
+[Poslovitch](https://github.com/Poslovitch) was running a Skyblock server before starting to contribute regularly on ASkyBlock's codebase.
+
+Then came the idea of *completely rewriting ASkyBlock*.
+A turning point that would be called *BSkyBlock*.
+In May 2017, tastybento agreed to the idea, and Poslovitch and him spent more time developing the code of the plugin which would become *BentoBox*.
+During summer 2018, ASkyBlock's support got dropped and development was focused on the now called plugin *BentoBox*, which would then take over ASkyBlock and AcidIsland for 1.13+ servers.
+
+### Description
+
+BentoBox introduces a **unique Addon system** and a **powerful API** which allows for a technically **unlimited customization** of the gamemodes.
+Therefore, BentoBox **does nothing on its own**: addons and gamemodes are bringing the features.
+
+BentoBox being totally **free and open-sourced**, we are confident in seeing this platform grow and become even more powerful in the future.
+
+Start now to create the server you've dreamed of!
