+Description
+
+<!--more-->
+
+Formally known as Left Click Counter Mod, Click Counter counts your left and right clicks and displays them on your Minecraft HUD. Version 2.4.0 saw the introduction of right clicks, a general refactor, a more stable/modern codebase, and QOL features. Note: a migration of your previous config is needed (located in `.minecraft/config/LeftClickCounter.cfg`). Copy the value in the `SHHH...` key to value in `Clicks` under the `Left` catergory (located in `.minecraft/config/Clicks.cfg`).
+

+    - Removed support for other Minecraft versions (I welcome pull requests with ports to other versions)
+    - MIT Open Source License
+    - Forge 1.8.9 Gradle MDK included

+    - Settings/config file has been heavily refactored
+  - Known Bugs
+    - Older configs no longer work (won't fix)
+
+### Positioning
+  - New
+    - Added "Go back" button to return to the main page
+  - Overhauls
+    - Clicking and dragging the text moves it around and saves its position on release
+    - Previously: A left click on the text selected it and and right clicked saved it in a new position, no feedback was given to the user on if the text was moving
+  - Known Bugs
+    - Both lines of text can be moved at the same time, leading to them always being selected together after saving (planned for 2.4.1)
+
+### Colors
+  - Changes
+    - Friendly naming for chroma and shadow options
+  - Fixes
+    - Chroma and shadow options are now reflected in the "Test Color" text
+    - The "Refresh Color" button is more stable and will no longer crash from text input errors
+  - Planned
+    - Remove the "Refresh Color" button and update the colors on the fly (planned for 2.4.1)
+
+### Prefixes
+  - Changes
+    - Removed the symbol option and merged it with the entire prefix
+    - Note: a space should be included and must be done so by the user
+
+### Update Checking
+  - Overhauls
+    - Updates are now checked through GitHub's REST API
+    - Removed auto checking for updates on server join (prone to crashes with a race condition if the response from the API was recieved before the game server loaded)
+    - Failed update checks are sent silently to the console
+  - Known Bugs
+    - No response for if there are no updates avaible (planned for 2.4.1)
+    - Older users are no longer notified of updates (won't fix)
