 === IntelliJ IDEA ===
 If you are using IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains, please follow these steps:
-    - Run ''gradlew idea'' first, then import the Project to IDEA.
+    - In the IDEA main menu, select 'Import Project' (or File -> Open... if you already have a project open).
-    - In order to run/debug your project, go to menu ''Run -> Edit Configurations...''. In ''Run/Debug Configuration'' dialog, find ''Application > Minecraft Client'' and change ''Use classpath of module'' from ''[ProjectName]'' to ''[ProjectName].main'', then change for ''Application > Minecraft Server'' as well. After pressing OK, you will know see Minecraft Client and Minecraft Server now showing up at Run/Debug Toolbar.
+    - Select the project's build.gradle file to import the project.
+    - After Gradle is done setting up, close (File -> Close Project) and re-open the project to fix run configurations not displaying correctly.
+//Optional, but recommended//:
+By default, IntelliJ delegates to Gradle to build the project. This is unnecessary for Fabric and causes longer build times and hotswapping related weirdness, among other problems. To make it use the builtin compiler:
+    - Open the 'Gradle Settings' dialog from the Gradle tab.
+    - Change the 'Build and run using' and 'Run tests using' fields to 'IntelliJ IDEA'.
+    - Go to File -> Project Structure -> Project and set 'Project compiler output' to the 'out' subdirectory of your project. This directory doesn't have to exist, IDEA will create it when compiling the project for the first time. (Tip: Use the 'Project Directory' button in the directory select dialog to quickly jump to your project directory.)
+Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to set an IDE-wide default for the 'Build and run using' and 'Run tests using' options, so these steps have to be repeated for every new project.
