- ChunkAPI is designed with players in mind, and as such, it uses slightly aggressive licensing to make sure that third
16
- 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
16
+ additional permissions according to Section 7 of the AGPL to make it compatible with Minecraft, while at the same
17

+ The additional permissions help ensure that no matter what fork of this mod you use, your saves are going to be
23

24
+ 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
25
- "trapped" in a random fork of ChunkAPI without any way to recover to vanilla or the official release of ChunkAPI
26
- without world corruption, in case no suitable backups are available.
26
+ Note that forks of this mod may have bugfixes that the original mod does not, so you should only swap different forks'
27
+ releases of this mod if you know how those bugfixes affect the other mods you're using it with.
