 Events
 ======
+
+The main way you'll interact with your Clojurecraft bots is through event handlers.
+
+Event handlers are functions you create that respond to events that happen in the
+Minecraft world.  They return a list of Actions that you want your bot to perform.
+
+Event handlers are pure functions that should take the bot as their first argument.
+Their other arguments will depend on the particular handler.
+
+Creating and Registering Event Handlers
+---------------------------------------
+
+The first thing you need to do is create an event handling function::
+
+    (defn jump-on-chat [bot message]
+      [(clojurecraft.actions/jump bot)])
+
+Then register the handler for the action::
+
+    (clojurecraft.events/add-handler bot :chat `jump-on-chat)
+
+Notice that you don't pass the function directly to the ``add-handler`` function.
+You pass a syntax quoted symbol to the function.  This is an extra character to type,
+but it means you can redefine the function in the REPL and your changes will take
+effect immediately in all of the currently running bots.
+
+Available Events
+----------------
+
+You can register handlers for the following events.
+
+``:chat``
+`````````
+
+::
+
+    (defn chat-handler [message]
+      [... actions ...])
+
+Chat events are fired when a chat message arrives.

 Once your bot is in the world you're all set to play around.  At the moment the only
 action implemented is basic movement.  Move your bot around with ``act/move``::
 
-    (act/move bot 2 0 1)
+    (force (act/move bot 2 0 1))
 
 The numbers are the x, y, and z distance you wish to move.  For now you can't use the
 ``y`` argument -- you must always pass ``0``.
