3. DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Author grants the platforms on which the Author personally publishes the
Mod (including Modrinth) the right to host, store, index and distribute the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. THIRD-PARTY AND DERIVED MATERIAL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The copyright claimed above applies to the Author's own original work only.

Portions of the worldgen data distributed with the Mod (under
src/main/resources/data/archean_rise/worldgen/, and the corresponding entries in
the release JAR files) are DERIVED FROM the vanilla Minecraft worldgen data,
which is (c) Mojang Studios. Those portions remain the property of their
respective owner, are used here as data consumed by the game itself, and no
ownership of them is claimed by the Author.

Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Studios. Archean Rise is an unofficial
third-party modification. It is NOT an official Minecraft product, and it is NOT
approved by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Mojang Studios or
Microsoft.

The Mod is built against, and interoperates with, third-party platforms
(Minecraft, the Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders and their APIs). Those remain
subject to their own respective licences. No third-party code or assets are
bundled inside the Mod's release JAR files.

ANY WORLD OR SAVE DATA BEFORE INSTALLING, UPDATING OR REMOVING IT.
