 ===== Mod Startup =====
+There are two main ways to make a new mod for Minecraft based on Fabric. You can either manually download fabric-example-mod and setup by yourself, or use automatic tools for you.
 ==== Manual Steps ====
    - Copy the starting files from [[https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-example-mod/|fabric-example-mod]] (or from [[https://github.com/natanfudge/fabric-example-mod-kotlin|the Kotlin version]], if you wish to use Kotlin,) excluding the ''LICENSE'' and ''README.md'' files - as those apply to the template itself, not necessarily to your mod.

 ===== Advice =====
   * While Fabric API is not strictly necessary for developing mods, its primary goal is to provide cross-compatibility and hooks where the game engine does not, and as such it is highly recommended!
-  * As Fabric is in early development, occasionally, with development of fabric-loom (our Gradle build plugin) issues may crop up which require a manual clearing (deleting) of the cache (which can be found in ''.gradle/caches/fabric-loom''). Those will generally be announced as they are identified.
+  * Occasionally, with development of fabric-loom (our Gradle build plugin) issues may crop up which require resetting the cache files. This can be done by running ''gradlew cleanloom''. Running ''gradlew --stop'' can also help with a few rare issues.
   * Don't hesitate to ask questions! We're here to help you and work with you to make your dream mod a reality.
