 ## Extent of Current Features
 
 At this time, aside from any new things I've implemented and forgotten
 to update here, the following features are present:
 
+* From v1.2.0-alpha.1, Biolith supports all four major mod loaders!
+
 * Place an Overworld, Nether, or End biome at a specified noise point.
 * Replace an Overworld, Nether, or End biome entirely or in part.
 * Add a sub-biome to an Overworld, Nether, End, or modded biome.
-* (End biome placement uses custom noise and is only available in 1.20.)
+* (End biome placement uses custom noise and is only available in 1.20+.)
 
 * Register custom surface rules.
 * Override vanilla surfaces using custom surface builders.
 
-Biolith 0.0.z releases are known to be compatible with Fabric and Quilt Minecraft 1.19.4, and TerraBlender.
-Biolith 1.0.z releases are known to be compatible with Fabric and Quilt Minecraft 1.20.
+* Fully compatible with TerraBlender and Fabric Biome API biomes.
+* Somewhat compatible with BClib (biome placement may be modified by BClib).
 
 ## Releases via Maven
 
+The instructions below are for Biolith 1.2.0 for Minecraft 1.20.4+.  If you
+are using earlier versions of Biolith, only Fabric/Quilt is supported, and
+the artifact ID is just `biolith`.

 ## Examples
 
-A wiki would be nice.  For now, here's some illegible probably outdated examples instead.
-
-```java
-public void during_mod_init() {
-    // Place a biome at a specific noise point
-    BiomePlacement.addNether(ModBiomeKeys.LUMINOUS_GROVE, MultiNoiseUtil.createNoiseHypercube(0.35F, 0.3F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.225F)); }
-
-    // replace a vanilla biome 20% of the time
-    BiomePlacement.replaceOverworld(BiomeKeys.FOREST, ModBiomeKeys.AUTUMNAL_WOODS, 0.2D);
-
-    // add an edge sub-biome
-    BiomePlacement.addSubOverworld(BiomeKeys.DESERT, ModBiomeKeys.OASIS, SubBiomeMatcher.of(SubBiomeMatcher.NEAR_BORDER));
