-## Build instructions
+## Building the qt6 branch (recommended)
+
+The `qt6` branch is the actively maintained branch. To build it:
+
+``` bash
+git clone --recursive -b qt6 https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest.git mcpelauncher && cd mcpelauncher
+mkdir -p build && cd build
+CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake .. -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DJNI_USE_JNIVM=ON
+make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
+```
+
+## Build instructions (ng branch, deprecated)
+
+> **Warning:** The ng branch uses Qt5 and is deprecated. Prefer the [qt6 branch](#building-the-qt6-branch-recommended) unless you specifically need the Qt5 version.
