 **Allows the connection of 1.8 clients to 1.9**
 
 This plugin modifies netty to allow connection of 1.9 clients to 1.8,
 
-**Don't use late bind nor ProtocolLib**
-
-**As of this point it doesn't have everything, I need to fix:**
-
-Attempt to make boats nicer when they don't work
-
-Remap spawn eggs
-
+**Don't use late bind*
 
 
 This took hours of work, so if you enjoy this consider looking into contacting me and supporting my projects.
