+### Download the mod
 
-**Forum topic:** <https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=509>
+To install More Blocks, clone this Git repository into your Minetest's `mods/`
+directory:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/minetest-mods/moreblocks.git
+```
+
+You can also
+[download a ZIP archive](https://github.com/minetest-mods/moreblocks/archive/master.zip)
+of More Blocks. If you do so, you will need to extract the archive, then rename
+the resulting folder from `moreblocks-master` to `moreblocks` – this is
+**absolutely** necessary to do, else, it won't work!
+
+### Enable the mod
+
+Once you have installed More Blocks, you need to enable it in Minetest.
+The procedure is as follows:
+
+#### Using the client's main menu
+
+This is the easiest way to enable More Blocks when playing in singleplayer
+(or on a server hosted from a client).
+
+1. Start Minetest and switch to the **Local Game** tab.
+2. Select the world you want to enable More Blocks in.
+3. Click **Configure**, then enable `moreblocks` by double-clicking it
+   (or ticking the **Enabled** checkbox).
+4. Save the changes, then start a game on the world you enabled More Blocks on.
+5. More Blocks should now be running on your world.
+
+#### Using a text editor
+
+This is the recommended way to enable the mod on a server without using a GUI.
+
+1. Make sure Minetest is not currently running (else, it will overwrite
+   the changes when exiting).
+2. Open the world's `world.mt` file using a text editor.
+3. Add the following line at the end of the file:
+
+```
+load_mod_moreblocks = true
+```
+
+If the line is already present in the file, then replace `false` with `true` on that line.
+
+4. Save the file, then start a game on the world you enabled More Blocks on.
+5. More Blocks should now be running on your world.
+
+## Version compatibility
+
+More Blocks is currently primarily tested with Minetest 0.4.16.
+It may or may not work with newer or older versions. Issues arising in older
+versions than 0.4.16 will generally not be fixed.
