Things to keep in mind while creating addons

Better Than Wolves is made freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License. Minecraft, however, has its own separate End User License Agreement, viewable here.

As afforded by the CC-BY-4.0 license, you are free to modify and redistribute Better Than Wolves binaries, assets, and source code, but FlowerChild (the originator of the mod) would appreciate an acknowledgment if you do. Keep in mind however that parts of BTW may be based on modified versions of Mojang's code and assets, and it is left to anyone redistributing portions of BTW to make sure they are appropriately considering Mojang's intellectual property and licensing as well.

When creating your own addons for Better than wolves, special care should be taken with regards to decompiled vanilla Minecraft source code in use (anything without an FC prefix, basically). Posting decompiled, lightly-altered Minecraft source code files could be grounds for legal trouble. There are ways to post only the changes to your repository, as seen on the BTW-Public repo, but ultimately, it may just be easier to avoid those files unless needed for addon instantiation or invasive changes. And ultimately, you are responsible for the legality of what you post. These are just guidelines to help keep you out of trouble.
