16+ additional permissions according to Section 7 of the AGPL to make it compatible with Minecraft, while at the same

24+ that cannot be loaded by any other fork.

25- "trapped" in a random fork of ChunkAPI without any way to recover to vanilla or the official release of ChunkAPI
26- without world corruption, in case no suitable backups are available.
26+ Note that forks of this mod may have bugfixes that the original mod does not, so you should only swap different forks'
27+ releases of this mod if you know how those bugfixes affect the other mods you're using it with.
