Licensing and Redistribution
ChunkCarts is licensed under the LGPL v3 or later (LGPL-3.0-or-later). Copyright (C) 2026 Aplite36.
In plain terms: redistribute it, bundle it, ship it alongside proprietary plugins. Modifications to ChunkCarts itself stay under the same licence. The licence does not reach into the other things on your server, which is the practical difference between the lesser licence and the full GPL.
This page describes the intent. The licence text in the repository is what actually governs.
ChunkCarts may be included in any modpack, public or private, free or paid, without asking. No permission request, no credit requirement beyond the licence, and no notification.
A link back is appreciated so people can find the configuration documentation and report bugs against the real thing, but it is not required.
A published modified build should have a different name and a different mod id.
The reason is specific rather than territorial. This mod's whole value is a safety claim about its
default behaviour. A fork with the loop detector loosened would still be called ChunkCarts, would
still answer /chunkcarts list, and would still be what people's trust and bug reports attach to. The
rename exists so that the claim keeps meaning something, not to discourage forking.
Modifying it privately, for your own server, needs nothing from anyone.
Best effort, by one person, for free.
Supported in practice: the current Minecraft release and the one before it. Older versions keep working and keep getting builds for as long as they build unchanged, but a bug that only reproduces on 1.21.3 will sit behind one that reproduces on the current release. The full version list is on Platform Support.
Every published jar is built by CI from a tagged public commit, so "this jar came from this source" is checkable rather than a matter of trust.
Bugs and questions: github.com/Aplite36/ChunkCarts/issues. Before opening a report about the loop detector releasing chunks it should have kept, or keeping chunks it should have released, Verify It Yourself has the reproduction steps worth including.
