License
-------
ChunkAPI is designed with players in mind, and as such, it uses slightly aggressive licensing to make sure that third
party developers cannot break your worlds in an irrecoverable way by changing huge parts of the API.
The mod itself is fully licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3.0, with several
additional permissions according to Section 7 of the AGPL to make it compatible with Minecraft, while at the same
time protecting your save files from getting corrupted by broken commits.
For this reason, the mod itself is fully licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3.0 or later,
with several additional permissions according to Section 7 of the AGPL.
You can find these permissions in the full [LICENSE](LICENSE) file. (TL;DR: Yes, you can use ChunkAPI in a modpack
without getting trapped by AGPL's viral licensing).
You can find these permissions in the full [LICENSE](LICENSE) file. (TL;DR: Yes, you can use official releases of
ChunkAPI in a modpack without getting trapped by AGPL's requirements).
The additional permissions help ensure that no matter what fork of this mod you use, your saves are going to be
fully compatible, and your worlds don't get trapped in an abandoned fork of the mod with a different save file format
that cannot be loaded by any other fork.
Note that while these limitations might seem unnecessary, it is essential for protecting your saves from getting
"trapped" in a random fork of ChunkAPI without any way to recover to vanilla or the official release of ChunkAPI
without world corruption, in case no suitable backups are available.
Note that forks of this mod may have bugfixes that the original mod does not, so you should only swap different forks'
releases of this mod if you know how those bugfixes affect the other mods you're using it with.
