+If this plugin has helped you in any way, and you would like to return something back 
+to make the plugin even better, there is a lot of ways to contribute:  
+* Open a **pull request** containing a new feature or a bug fix, which you believe many users will benefit from.
+* Make detailed high-quality **bug reports**. The difference between a bug getting fixed in 1 week vs 1 hour 
+is in quality of the report (typically providing correct steps to reproduce that actually work).
+* Test **experimental builds**, which can be found in [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/actions) for problems of any kind including bugs. 
+This way you will help make the actual releases more stable / help get stable releases sooner.
+* Help improve the wiki by opening a [Wiki change issue](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Wiki&template=wiki_change.yml), 
+where you can improve existing descriptions, add information you found missing, fix typos / grammar mistakes or add more examples of usage of functions.
+* [Buy a copy](https://builtbybit.com/resources/14009/) of the plugin or [send a donation](https://paypal.me/neznamy1) to keep the plugin active.

-## Introduction  
-Here it is. After countless requests to go opensource, I did it to make those people quiet. It worked.  
-It's already been a year and I still can't see any positives of it. This way I just made it easier for everyone to make a plugin as good, so people can stop using it and switch to something better. Or just get premium version for free.  
-  
-  
-## Compiling
-Plugin can be compiled using maven. Once you've purchased the premium version, you can enable premium features by setting [this line to return true](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/blob/master/shared/src/main/java/me/neznamy/tab/shared/TAB.java#L82) and apply your code improvements. Enabling it without purchasing the plugin may result in the features not working correctly.  
-**No support is provided for self-compiled jars, only for official compilations.** If you compiled it yourself, it is highly likely you modified something, which might be the reason why is the plugin not working. If you didn't modify anything, you can just get the plugin from official download locations.

+# About
+TAB aims to be a superior all-in-one minecraft plugin for displaying information that outperforms all 
+similar plugins in terms of features, performance, compatibility and support.  
+More information can be found at [Why TAB?](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/wiki/Why-TAB%3F) wiki page.

+# Distribution
+As of TAB 3.0.0, released with MC 1.18 (November 30th, 2021), there is no free / premium
+version anymore. Only one version of the plugin exists now, which contains all implemented features
+and is available to everyone for free. However, customer support is only provided to 
+customers who have purchased the plugin.
