+# Geoffrey: A Discord Bot for Minecraft Servers
+Geoffrey was created to be an information source for base and shop locations on Minecraft severs. The bot mainly tracks
+base, shop, and tunnel locations. This allows for users to quickly find each other's builds and find shops selling
+goods.
+
+Geoffrey can be used on a Discord server or in a private message with the bot.
+
+## Information
+Geoffrey was written in python and uses the [Discord.py rewrite](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/)
+ to interface with Discord and [SQLAlchemy](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/) for database
+access.
