-LuckPerms is an advanced permissions implementation aiming to be a fast, reliable and flexible alternative to existing permission plugins. The project's main goals are centered around high performance and a wide feature set, filling the gaps of functionality and building upon existing features found in other plugins.
+LuckPerms is a permissions plugin for Minecraft servers. It allows server admins to control what features players can use by creating groups and assigning permissions.

-LuckPerms also includes an extensive API for developers, and support for a variety of Minecraft server software & data storage options.
+The latest downloads, wiki & other useful links can be found on the project homepage at [luckperms.net](https://luckperms.net/).

-Still not convinced? More information can be found on the wiki, under: [Why LuckPerms?](https://github.com/lucko/LuckPerms/wiki/Why-LuckPerms)
+It is:

-## Useful Links
+* **fast** - written with performance and scalability in mind.
+* **reliable** - trusted by thousands of server admins, and the largest of server networks.
+* **easy to use** - setup permissions using commands, directly in config files, or using the web editor.
+* **flexible** - supports a variety of data storage options, and works on lots of different server types.
+* **extensive** - a plethora of customization options and settings which can be changed to suit your server.
+* **free** - available for download and usage at no cost, and permissively licensed so it can remain free forever.

-The latest **downloads** can be found on the [project's homepage](https://luckperms.net/).
