 2. License Grants and Conditions
 --------------------------------
 2.1. Grants
 Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
 non-exclusive license:
 (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
    as part of a Larger Work; and
 (b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
 2.2. Effective Date
 The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
 become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
 distributes such Contribution.
 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
 The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
 this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
 distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
 Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
 Contributor:
 (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
    or
 (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
    Version); or
 (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
    its Contributions.
 This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
 or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
 the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
 2.4. Subsequent Licenses
 No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
 distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
 License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
 permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
 2.5. Representation
 Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
 Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
 to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
 2.6. Fair Use
 This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
 applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
 equivalents.
 2.7. Conditions
 Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
 in Section 2.1.
 3. Responsibilities
 -------------------
 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
 All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
 Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
 the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
 Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
 License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
 attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
 Form.
 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
 If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
 (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
 (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
 You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
 provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
 the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
 Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
 Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
 License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
 under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
 the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
 Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
 License(s).
 3.4. Notices
 You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
 (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
 or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
 the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
 the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
 You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
 indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
 Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
 behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
 such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
 You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
 liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
 indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
 disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
 jurisdiction.
 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
 ---------------------------------------------------
 If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
 License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
 the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
 describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
 be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
 Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
 or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
 recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
 5. Termination
 --------------
 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
 if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
 compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
 Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
 Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
 ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
 non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
 come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
 Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
 notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
 first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
 from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
 Your receipt of the notice.
 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
 infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
 counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
 directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
 You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
 end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
 have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
 prior to termination shall survive termination.

 -------------
 Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
 courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
 place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
 jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
 Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
 cross-claims or counter-claims.
 9. Miscellaneous
 ----------------
 This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
 necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
 that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
 shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.

 of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
 or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
 steward.
 10.3. Modified Versions
 If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
 create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
 modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
 any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
 such modified license differs from this License).
 10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary

 # ProjectCapture
 > **Unofficial, open-source and non-commercial Pokémon fan project for Hytale.**
 ProjectCapture is an independently developed, server-authoritative Pokémon creature mod and embedded asset pack for Hytale. It aims for the same kind of open fan-project model as Cobblemon while using entirely new ProjectCapture code and newly produced assets.
 ProjectCapture is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or approved by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., Hypixel Studios or Hytale. Pokémon names, characters and related marks belong to their respective owners. The MPL-2.0 license covers only original ProjectCapture source code; it grants no rights to third-party properties.
 ## Current goals
 - deterministic, testable capture, battle, progression, breeding and trading engine;
 - Hytale 0.5.9 adapter isolated from domain logic;
 - twelve-form playable Pokémon slice;
 - reproducible Blockbench/Hytale asset workflow controlled through a hardened local MCP bridge;
 - explicit non-commercial, attribution and release-review safeguards.
 ## Local development
 Requirements are Java 25 and the checked-in Gradle wrapper. The build downloads the public Hytale server API from the official Hytale Maven repository but never commits proprietary server or game assets.
 ```shell
 ./gradlew check
 ./gradlew fanBuild
 ```
 Public releases require a documented policy/rights review; the repository never bundles Hytale server JARs, `Assets.zip`, extracted base assets or secrets. See the [fan-project policy](docs/UNOFFICIAL_FAN_PROJECT_POLICY.md), [third-party notice](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICE.md) and [implementation plan](docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md).

ProjectCapture does not distribute Hytale server binaries, `Assets.zip`, extracted Hytale base assets, original Pokémon game assets, recordings, music or files copied from Cobblemon or another mod.
 Third-party development tools and dependencies retain their own licenses. The isolated Blockbench MCP development fork is GPL-3.0-only and is not linked into the distributed Hytale plugin.

 # Private Fanmod Policy
 ## Status
 ProjectCapture ist ausschließlich ein **privates, nicht kommerzielles Entwicklungsprojekt**. Das Repository besitzt absichtlich keinen Remote und darf in seinem privaten Content-Zustand weder veröffentlicht, verteilt, monetarisiert noch als Download bereitgestellt werden.
 ## Gesperrte Veröffentlichungen
 Builds für lokale Entwicklung und lokale Hytale-Tests sind erlaubt. Folgende Aktionen bleiben gesperrt, solange `content-private` oder daraus abgeleitete Artefakte enthalten sind:
 - Veröffentlichung eines Git-Repositorys oder Quellarchivs;
 - Upload eines Plugin-JARs, Asset-Packs oder Mod-Browser-Pakets;
 - öffentliche Releases, Testdownloads oder Serververteilung;
 - Monetarisierung, Spendengegenleistungen, Verkäufe oder Paid Random Items;
 - Verwendung als offiziell wirkendes Hytale- oder Pokémon-Produkt.
 ## Publication-Gate
 Eine spätere Veröffentlichung ist ein eigenständiges Projektgate. Sie ist nur zulässig, wenn eine vollständige IP-Ablösung dokumentiert und technisch validiert wurde. Zu ersetzen sind mindestens:
 - alle Pokémon- und Nintendo/TPC-bezogenen Namen und Begriffe;
 - Silhouetten, Designs, Modelle, Texturen und Animationen;
 - Sounds, Rufe, Musik und Audio-Motive;
 - Attackennamen, Effekte, Beschreibungen und Balancing-Daten;
 - Logos, Symbole, UI-Anleihen, Fanggeräte und Markenauftritt;
 - Pokédex-/Speziesdaten, Werte, Evolutionsketten und sonstige abgeleitete Daten.
 Das Gate erfordert anschließend ausschließlich eigene Kreaturen, eigene Lore, eigene Mechanikbezeichnungen und eigene oder ordnungsgemäß lizenzierte Assets. Der Validator in `content-tools` muss ohne Ausnahmen bestehen, bevor eine Publish- oder Release-Aufgabe aktiviert werden darf.
 ## Technische Durchsetzung
 - Es wird kein Git-Remote konfiguriert.
 - Release- und Publish-Aufgaben sind standardmäßig deaktiviert.
 - Private Inhalte tragen maschinenlesbare `privateFanContent`-Markierungen.
 - Paketierung für Distribution verlangt eine explizite, geprüfte `publication-cleared`-Manifestdatei.
 - Die Freigabedatei wird erst nach einer separaten rechtlichen und inhaltlichen Prüfung erstellt; sie ist nicht Teil des privaten MVP.

 # Unofficial Fan Project Policy
 ## Status
 ProjectCapture is an **unofficial, open-source and non-commercial Pokémon fan project for Hytale**. It is independently developed and is not endorsed by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., Hypixel Studios or Hytale.
 The source repository may be public. Source code authored for ProjectCapture is offered under MPL-2.0. This license does not grant any rights to Pokémon, Hytale or other third-party names, characters, designs, game files, trademarks or copyrights.
 ## Content rules
 - ProjectCapture code, content definitions and production files must be authored for this project.
 - Cobblemon or other mods may be studied at the product level, but their code, models, textures, animations, sounds and data are not copied.
 - Hytale server JARs, `Assets.zip`, extracted base assets and launcher/live-world data are never committed or distributed.
 - No reverse engineering or decompilation is part of the workflow; only official public APIs, Maven artifacts and documentation are used.
 - Pokémon music, recordings and ripped game assets are not included. New models, textures, animations, UI and placeholder audio are produced for ProjectCapture.
 - The project remains non-commercial. No sales, paid access, loot boxes or paid random capture mechanics are allowed.
 ## Release gate
 Before any tagged build or public binary is uploaded, a maintainer must complete `release-review.json` from the checked-in example and confirm:
 1. the current Hytale EULA, community guidelines and mod-distribution rules were reviewed;
 2. third-party ownership and non-affiliation notices are present;
 3. no Hytale game files, secrets, copied mod files or ripped Pokémon assets are packaged;
 4. the build remains non-commercial and is clearly described as unofficial;
 5. schema, engine, asset and in-game smoke checks pass.
 This gate is a project safeguard, not a legal determination or a promise that a platform owner will accept a release.
