What the license covers

The Apache License 2.0 applies to the source code, compiled plugin files, configuration examples, documentation, and other files expressly marked as licensed under Apache-2.0 in the relevant repository or distribution.

Some projects may include separate notices for third-party libraries, media, trademarks, or other assets. Those notices remain applicable and may impose different license terms on those specific components.

What you may do

Subject to the Apache License 2.0, you are allowed to:

• Use the plugins on any number of personal, community, educational, or commercial Minecraft servers.
