Credits and License

Applies to every version of Carry Mechanics.

This is a fork, and the licence obligations are specific

Carry Mechanics is a fork of Carry On by Tschipp and PurpliciousCow, which is licensed under the GNU LGPL v3.

Because it is a derivative work, it is distributed under the same licence, and:

  • The original copyright is retained — Copyright (c) Tschipp, PurpliciousCow.
  • Fork modifications are attributed separately — Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Stalking Dragons.
  • The complete corresponding source is published in the repository, as the LGPL requires.

License

GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later (LGPL-3.0-or-later). See the LICENSE file.

Both licence texts ship with the repository: COPYING (the GPL-3.0) and COPYING.LESSER.

What changed in the fork

This is a modified derivative, not a drop-in copy. Gameplay dynamics differ in:

  • crouch-to-pick-up behaviour
  • block and entity grab rules
  • carry conditions
  • rendering

It has also been ported and reworked across five Minecraft versions on three loaders — 1.20.1 through 26.2, on Forge, NeoForge and Fabric.

A note on attribution consistency

The project README originally described this mod as "inspired by Carry On, rewritten from scratch" while its own LICENSE described it as a derivative work retaining the original copyright. Those two positions are not compatible, and the ambiguity is the kind that causes trouble for a fork.

The README now says what the LICENSE says: a modified fork, with the original copyright retained and the corresponding source published.

Trademark
