+Minecraft Forge: Credits/Thank You
+
+Forge is a set of tools and modifications to the Minecraft base game code to assist
+mod developers in creating new and exciting content. It has been in development for
+several years now, but I would like to take this time thank a few people who have
+helped it along it's way.
+
+First, the people who originally created the Forge projects way back in Minecraft
+alpha. Eloraam of RedPower, and SpaceToad of Buildcraft, without their acceptiance
+of me taking over the project, who knows what Minecraft modding would be today.
+
+Secondly, someone who has worked with me, and developed some of the core features
+that allow modding to be as functional, and as simple as it is, cpw. For developing
+FML, which stabelized the client and server modding ecosystem. As well as the base
+loading system that allows us to modify Minecraft's code as elegently as possible.
+
+Mezz, who has stepped up as the issue and pull request manager. Helping to keep me
+sane as well as guiding the community into creating better additions to Forge.
+
+Searge, Bspks, Fesh0r, ProfMobious, and all the rest over on the MCP team {of which
+I am a part}. For creating some of the core tools needed to make Minecraft modding
+both possible, and as stable as can be.
+ On that note, here is some specific information of the MCP data we use:
+ * Minecraft Coder Pack (MCP) *
+ Forge Mod Loader and Minecraft Forge have permission to distribute and automatically
+ download components of MCP and distribute MCP data files. This permission is not
+ transitive and others wishing to redistribute the Minecraft Forge source independently
+ should seek permission of MCP or remove the MCP data files and request their users
+ to download MCP separately.
+
+And lastly, the countless community members who have spent time submitting bug reports,
+pull requests, and just helping out the community in general. Thank you.

+=========================================================================
+
+This is Forge Mod Loader.
+
+You can find the source code at all times at https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/tree/1.12.x/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/fml
+
+This minecraft mod is a clean open source implementation of a mod loader for minecraft servers
+and minecraft clients.
+
+The code is authored by cpw.
+
+It began by partially implementing an API defined by the client side ModLoader, authored by Risugami.
+http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/75440-
+This support has been dropped as of Minecraft release 1.7, as Risugami no longer maintains ModLoader.
+
+It also contains suggestions and hints and generous helpings of code from LexManos, author of MinecraftForge.
+http://www.minecraftforge.net/
+
+Additionally, it contains an implementation of topological sort based on that
+published at http://keithschwarz.com/interesting/code/?dir=topological-sort
+
+It also contains code from the Maven project for performing versioned dependency
+resolution. http://maven.apache.org/
+
+It also contains a partial repackaging of the javaxdelta library from http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaxdelta/
+with credit to it's authors.
+
+Forge Mod Loader downloads components from the Minecraft Coder Pack
+(http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/index.php/Main_Page) with kind permission from the MCP team.
