Your license doesn't let me add compatibility with your mod.

" A User cannot distribute this Mod in the following ways:

source files, including assets, no matter how heavily they were modified."

I cannot bundle your API (which counts as source files) with my mod, according to your own license, making it impossible for me to offer support without reflection/classloader hackery which I'd love to stay away from.

  1. There is no code from RedLogic in this mod.
  2. The license should be changed to something like LGPL

Also, if you've taken code from Red Logic, you need to include the licensing information:

Will change.

I might use one of those or just vastly simplify the current license.

commented
  1. I disapprove of putting mods until the GPL due to the fact that many of its regulations dont fit the world of Minecraft modding. Try MMPL or BSD.
commented

I would suggest BSD - I have a tendency to use 2-clause.

Addressed via b456085

@asiekierka LGPL is very different to GPL - and is usually fine for Minecraft mods.
