1.6 “Official Release” means an unmodified copy of a Project obtained from an Official Source or through an authorised platform dependency or manifest system.

1.7 “Protected Content” means original code, scripts, configurations, quests, textures, models, audio, writing, documentation, designs, branding, and other copyrightable material owned by Setokaiba218.

1.8 “Written Permission” means permission given by Setokaiba218 in a durable written form, including email, a signed agreement, or a clearly identifiable message from an official account.

2. OWNERSHIP

2.1 Setokaiba218 retains all copyright and other applicable intellectual-property rights in Protected Content.

2.2 Downloading, installing, running, or contributing to a Project does not transfer ownership of the Project or its Protected Content.

2.3 A Modpack may contain third-party mods and assets. Those items remain owned by their respective creators and are governed by their respective licences. This licence applies only to material owned by Setokaiba218.

2.4 Minecraft, Mojang, Microsoft, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, CurseForge, Modrinth, and other third-party names, trademarks, software, and assets remain the property of their respective owners.

3. GENERAL LICENCE GRANT

Subject to compliance with this licence, Setokaiba218 grants users a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to download, install, run, and use an Official Release for the purposes expressly permitted below.

No permission is granted by implication. Rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. PERMITTED USE OF MODS

You may:

4.1 Download and use an Official Release for personal use.

4.2 Install and run an Official Release on private, community, or public Minecraft servers.

4.3 Use an Official Release on a monetised server, provided that:
    a. users are not charged specifically for access to the Mod or its protected features;
    b. the Mod itself is not sold or presented as paid content;
    c. the server follows the applicable Minecraft rules and platform rules; and
    d. no official affiliation with Setokaiba218 is implied.

4.4 Include an Official Release in a legitimate modpack, subject to Section 5.

4.5 Make reasonable backup copies for permitted personal or server-administration use.

5. MODPACK INCLUSION

An Official Release of a Mod may be included in a modpack if all of the following conditions are met:

5.1 The Mod is not modified, patched, renamed, or stripped of licence or attribution information.

5.2 The Mod is obtained from an Official Source or added through the hosting platform’s authorised dependency, manifest, or download system.

5.4 The Mod is not offered as a separate mirror or standalone download.

5.5 The modpack does not claim ownership or authorship of the Mod.

5.6 Access to the Mod or modpack files is not sold or placed behind a mandatory payment.

5.7 The modpack complies with Minecraft’s rules and the rules of its distribution platform.

5.8 Ordinary modpack inclusion does not require credit, although credit and a link to the Official Source are appreciated.

5.9 Setokaiba218 may publish project-specific restrictions where technically, contractually, or legally necessary. A clearly displayed project-specific notice takes priority over the general modpack permission for that Project.

6. PERMITTED USE OF MODPACKS

6.2 Install and operate the Modpack on a private, community, or public server.

6.3 Make private changes to your own local or server installation.

6.4 Create backups for personal or server-administration use.

You may:

7.1 Stream, record, review, showcase, or discuss a Project.

7.2 Monetise videos and livestreams through advertisements, subscriptions, memberships, sponsorships, donations, or similar platform features.

You may not falsely claim sponsorship, approval, partnership, employment, or other official affiliation with Setokaiba218.

Unless this licence, applicable law, or Written Permission expressly allows it, you may not:

8.2 Publish a modified version, fork, unofficial build, port, backport, conversion, continuation, or derivative version of a Project.

8.3 Copy, extract, adapt, translate, or reuse Protected Content in another mod, modpack, game, application, website, dataset, product, or service.

8.4 Decompile, reverse engineer, or extract Protected Content for the purpose of copying or reusing it, except where applicable law provides a right that cannot be restricted.

8.8 Present a Project or substantial part of it as your own creation.

8.9 Use a Project in a manner that violates applicable law, Minecraft’s rules, or a distribution platform’s rules.

Unless Written Permission is granted, you may not:

9.1 Publish a copied, renamed, lightly altered, or substantially derived version of a Setokaiba218 Modpack.

9.4 Claim ownership over third-party mods included in the Modpack.

9.5 Use the Modpack’s identity, name, logo, or presentation to market an unofficial continuation or replacement.

10. ADD-ONS, COMPATIBILITY PROJECTS, AND “INSPIRED BY” WORK

10.2 The work uses only lawful interfaces, dependencies, public APIs, or independently created code and assets.

10.3 Users are directed to an Official Source to obtain any required Setokaiba218 Project.

10.4 The name, branding, and presentation do not create confusion or imply that the work is official.

10.5 Any statement such as “inspired by,” “compatible with,” or “add-on for” is accurate and clearly identifies the work as independent and unofficial.

This permission does not allow modified JARs, unofficial ports, copied implementations, or replacement distributions.

Accurate, non-misleading references used for reviews, compatibility descriptions, credits, commentary, or lawful discussion are permitted.

13.2 Unless a separate signed agreement states otherwise, a contributor retains copyright in their original contribution.

18. DISCLAIMER

18.1 Projects are provided “as is” and “as available.”

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Setokaiba218 is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, lost profits, loss of opportunity, server downtime, corrupted worlds, compatibility problems, or damage resulting from the installation, use, modification, or inability to use a Project.

Nothing in this licence excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

20.1 Each Project release remains governed by the licence version supplied with or clearly assigned to that release.

21. SEVERABILITY

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights a user has under applicable local law.
