 # Docker Minecraft FTB
 
-A Docker image for running [FTB](https://www.feed-the-beast.com/) Minecraft servers.
+A Docker image developed to launch Minecraft [FTB](https://www.feed-the-beast.com/) Modpack servers as safely, quickly and easily as possible.
 
-### Example
+## Features
+
+- Supports all "Feed The Beast" (FTB) [modpacks](https://www.feed-the-beast.com/modpacks?sort=featured)
+- Configurable modpack versions
+  - Allows pinning to a specific modpack version (see `FTB_MODPACK_VERSION_ID`)
+  - Installs the latest version of the modpack, if no specific version is configured
+- Supports automatic modpack upgrades on container start (see `AUTO_UPDATE`)
+- Supports unattended installation (see `ACCEPT_MOJANG_EULA`)
+- Supports configuration of user-defined JVM arguments as part of the container configuration (see `USER_JVM_ARGS`)
+- Drops `root` privileges after setting up the container and runs the server as an unprivileged user
+
+## Example
 
 ```bash
 docker run -itd --name minecraft-ftb \
     -v "/docker_data/minecraft:/var/lib/minecraft" \
     -e "FTB_MODPACK_ID=126" \
     -e "ACCEPT_MOJANG_EULA=1" \
+    -e "USER_JVM_ARGS=-Xms1G -Xmx4G" \
     -p "25565:25565" \
     --stop-timeout=60 \
     ghcr.io/flobernd/minecraft-ftb
 ```
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> The server process does not shut down gracefully, if no TTY is present. Please pass the `--tty`/`-t` switch (Docker) or use `tty: true` (Docker Compose).
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> It is strongly recommended to set the `stop-timeout` / `stop_grace_period` to at least `60` seconds to avoid data loss when stopping the container.
-
