ASTRALBOUND PATCHES PROJECT LICENSE
Astralbound Patches edition
Version 1.0
Copyright (c) 2026 NoxDeimos
All rights reserved except as expressly granted below.
1. SCOPE AND OWNERSHIP
This license applies to Astralbound Patches releases that NoxDeimos (the
"Licensor") expressly identifies as using this license. The "Project" means
Astralbound Patches' original code, compiled files, artwork, textures, models,
animations, audio, documentation, and other material that the Licensor
owns or has authority to license on these terms.
This license does not transfer ownership. It does not cover Minecraft,
third-party mods, libraries, contributed material under separate terms, or
other material excluded by an applicable license or notice. Including a
third-party item in a modpack does not make it the Licensor's property.
An "Official Source" is a project page, repository, download service, or
distribution channel operated by the Licensor or expressly authorized by
the Licensor for the particular Project. A third-party reupload does not
become an Official Source merely by crediting the Licensor.
2. PLAYING AND RUNNING THE PROJECT
Subject to this license, you may download the Project from an Official
Source, install it, play it, and run it on private or public game servers.
You may make the local copies and backups reasonably necessary for these
uses, including installation on a server you administer through a hosting
provider. You may share ordinary screenshots, videos, and streams of
gameplay. These permissions do not authorize distributing the Project's
files to other players or extracting its assets for reuse.
3. MODPACK PERMISSION
You may include the Project as a dependency in a modpack without requesting
additional permission, including CurseForge modpacks and modpacks on other
platforms, provided that each installation obtains the Project separately
from an Official Source.
You may distribute modpack manifests, dependency identifiers, download
links, installation instructions, and installers that obtain the Project
from an Official Source in accordance with that source's access rules.
Normal downloads, local installation caches, and delivery by the Official
Source's authorized platform, API, or content-delivery service are allowed.
Identify the Project and credit NoxDeimos in the pack's mod list or credits.
This permission does not allow you to bundle the Project's JAR, source
files, or assets inside a modpack ZIP, server-pack download, installer, or
other distribution. It also does not allow you to host a mirror, proxy
download service, or public cache of those files. Obtain the Licensor's
express written permission if you need to distribute a bundled copy.
4. CONFIGURATIONS AND ORIGINAL DATA OVERRIDES
You may create, edit, use, and distribute configuration files, settings,
scripts, and original datapack or resource-pack overrides that configure
the Project, adjust its behavior, or make it work with other mods or a
modpack. You may also distribute customized copies of configuration files
that the Project generates or supplies for end-user configuration,
including their settings, keys, structure, and configuration comments.
This permission does not extend to executable implementation code,
artwork, models, textures, audio, or other protected Project content merely
because it is placed in a configuration, script, data, or resource folder.
Use your own implementation and assets for any replacement content, or
obtain separate permission for the material you wish to reuse.
5. COMPATIBILITY PATCHES
You may develop, use, and distribute separately packaged compatibility
patches, adapters, integrations, and patching tools for the purpose of
making the Project work with other mods, modpacks, loaders, or supported
game environments. These may include newly written mixins, event handlers,
API integrations, scripts, and data overrides.
For that purpose, you may inspect available source code, inspect or
decompile a lawfully obtained copy, make local development copies, compile
local test builds, and modify your local installation. You may invoke the
Project's APIs and target its classes, methods, fields, registry entries,
resource paths, and configuration keys. Your patch may identify the names,
signatures, identifiers, and other interface details reasonably necessary
to perform and explain the integration.
A distributed patch must contain your own patch logic and any separately
authorized third-party material. It must not contain copied or adapted
Project implementation code, extracted assets, original or modified
Project class files, or a complete or repackaged Project. A source diff or
binary patch that contains protected Project implementation or assets
requires express written permission for that material. Calling an existing
method in a separately installed Project, or transforming that installation
locally with your own patch instructions, is permitted.
The patch must require users to obtain the Project separately from an
Official Source. It may generate changes locally from that installation,
but it must not provide a redistributable replacement copy of the Project
or reconstruct the Project from content bundled with the patch.
Identify the Project and NoxDeimos in the patch's description or credits.
Clearly identify the patch as an independent third-party project and do
not suggest that the Licensor created, approved, or supports it unless
that is true. You retain ownership of your original patch code and may
license that code yourself; doing so grants no additional rights to the
Project. These permissions do not authorize a standalone fork, port, or
continuation containing Project code or assets.
6. RESERVED RIGHTS AND EXPRESS PERMISSION
Except for the limited permissions above, you may not copy, redistribute,
reupload, mirror, sell, sublicense, or republish the Project, in whole or
in part, in source or compiled form, whether unchanged or modified.
You may not extract, adapt, or reuse its implementation code or assets in
another mod, game, library, asset pack, or other work without the
Licensor's express written permission. This includes recolored or otherwise
modified versions of protected assets and translated or adapted versions
of protected implementation code. These restrictions do not claim ownership
of ideas, functionality, facts, or material that copyright does not protect.
Any use outside the permissions in this license requires express written
permission from the Licensor identifying the permitted use. A public
permission statement by the Licensor may provide such permission within
its stated scope. Silence, attribution alone, source visibility, possession
of a file, and permission for a different project do not provide consent.
Permission requests should use a contact channel identified on an Official
Source. Preserve copyright and license notices in copies you are permitted
to make, except that editing end-user configuration comments as permitted
above is allowed.
7. THIRD-PARTY, EARLIER, AND INDEPENDENT RIGHTS
Third-party components remain governed by their own licenses. Their
notices must remain intact where required, and this license does not add
restrictions to permissions those components' copyright holders grant.
This license does not revoke, replace, or narrow rights already granted
under MIT or another license for previously released material. A person
relying on an earlier license must comply with that license. Changes or
new material released solely under this license are not automatically
covered by an earlier version's license.
Nothing here limits rights that applicable law grants independently of
this license, including exceptions that cannot lawfully be waived. Nor
does this license withdraw separate distribution or hosting permissions
the Licensor has granted to a platform under an applicable agreement.
Those platform permissions do not by themselves authorize unrelated
off-platform redistribution or reuse.
8. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Project is supplied
without any warranty, including any assurance that it is fit for a
particular purpose, free of defects, compatible with other software, or
noninfringing. The Licensor has no obligation under this license to provide
maintenance, updates, compatibility support, or recovery of game data.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Licensor is not
liable for losses arising from use of, inability to use, or distribution
of the Project, including lost data, damaged saves, lost income, or other
direct or indirect losses. This clause does not exclude liability that
applicable law does not permit to be excluded.
9. COMPLIANCE AND LICENSE VERSIONS
The permissions in this license are conditional on compliance with its
terms. If you materially breach them, those permissions terminate until
the Licensor reinstates them in writing. Termination under this license
does not terminate independent rights described in Section 7.
A later license or policy change does not retroactively replace this
version for copies already received under it. A new release may be offered
under different terms. No permission to use a later license version is
implied unless the Licensor expressly grants it.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to
apply to the extent permitted by law. Any permissions not expressly
granted remain reserved.
