JURASSIC BEGINNING'S SHADER SUPPORT
CUSTOM RESTRICTED-USE LICENSE

Copyright © 2026 wholelottakiller. All rights reserved to the extent permitted by applicable law.

1. WHAT THIS LICENSE COVERS

“Software” means the original code, configuration, documentation, and other materials distributed under the name “Jurassic Beginning's Shader Support,” but only to the extent the copyright holder owns or is authorized to license those materials. This is a custom, restricted-use license, not an open-source license. It does not override third-party licenses or grant rights to material owned by other parties.

2. PERSONAL GAMEPLAY

You may download the Software from its official distribution page and install it in your own Minecraft client for private gameplay. This permission does not transfer ownership and does not allow you to re-upload or redistribute the standalone Software.

3. VIDEO, STREAMING, AND CONTENT CREATION

You may create, publish, stream, and monetize videos, livestreams, reviews, demonstrations, showcases, tutorials, and other audiovisual content featuring or discussing the Software. No separate written permission is required for this type of content.

Please credit the project as “Jurassic Beginning's Shader Support” and, where practical, link to its official download page. Credit and a link are requested, but do not grant permission to redistribute the Software files.

This permission covers audiovisual content only. It does not permit you to upload or redistribute the Software, provide a download mirror, attach Software files to a video description, distribute source code or modified builds, or include the Software files in a download bundle except as expressly permitted in Section 5.

4. PRIVATE MODIFICATIONS

You may modify the Software's code or mappings for your own private use, including to add support for additional Minecraft biomes, biome mods, trees, leaves, grasses, foliage, or other plant blocks. You may test and use those changes locally in your own Minecraft client.

Without advance, explicit written permission from the copyright holder, you may not publish, share, sell, sublicense, or otherwise distribute modified source code, patches containing the Software's code, compiled JARs, or other modified versions, except that the copyright holder may distribute their own authorized version as part of the official Jurassic Beginnings modpack described in Section 5.

5. REDISTRIBUTION AND MODPACKS

Except for the specific permissions in Sections 2, 3, and 4, you may not, without advance, explicit written permission from the copyright holder:

(a) include, bundle, mirror, re-upload, or distribute the Software in or with any modpack, server pack, addon, plugin, launcher, installer, resource pack, shaderpack, repository, compilation, or other project or distribution;
(b) publish, share, or distribute copies of the Software, its source code, patches containing substantial portions of its code, or modified versions;
(c) sell, rent, sublicense, or offer the Software through another website, file host, or distribution channel; or
(d) claim authorship of material owned by the copyright holder or imply that the copyright holder endorses another project.

Explicit exception for the copyright holder: wholelottakiller may include and distribute the Software as part of the official Jurassic Beginnings modpack, including through its official modpack distribution page and associated server-pack distribution. This exception does not authorize third parties to redistribute the standalone Software or to include it in any other project or modpack. Other exceptions require advance, explicit written permission.

These restrictions apply whether a distribution is free or paid, public or private, and whether the Software is modified or unmodified. Giving credit or linking to the official page does not replace the need for written permission except where this license expressly allows the use.

6. THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS

This license covers only material the copyright holder owns or is authorized to license. It does not claim ownership of Minecraft, Minecraft Forge, Oculus/Iris, Complementary Reimagined, Biomes O' Plenty, or any other third-party software, assets, names, or trademarks. Those remain subject to their respective owners' terms and licenses. This document does not grant rights to third-party material.

7. NO WARRANTY

The Software is provided “AS IS,” to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, without warranties or guarantees of any kind. The copyright holder is not responsible for damage or loss arising from its use, to the extent permitted by law.

8. TERMINATION AND RESERVED RIGHTS

Any permission granted by this license ends automatically if you materially violate its terms. Upon termination, you must stop uses not otherwise permitted by applicable law and remove copies you are not authorized to retain. All rights not expressly granted are reserved, subject to applicable law and third-party rights. Nothing in this document overrides rights that cannot legally be waived.
