Resource Pack License

01

Scope and ownership

This license applies to Minecraft resource packs, textures, models, sounds, artwork, configuration files, documentation, previews, and other original assets released by NotToBlame, unless a particular project page includes different terms. In this license, these materials are referred to as the Licensed Materials.

NotToBlame retains ownership of the Licensed Materials. This license gives you limited permission to use them; it does not transfer copyright, ownership, or any other intellectual-property rights to you. You may not present the Licensed Materials as your own work or imply that NotToBlame has endorsed a separate project.

02

Download from an official source

Download each resource pack through an official project page or a direct link published by NotToBlame. Official sources may include the relevant Modrinth or CurseForge project page and links published on nottobla.me.

Do not download, mirror, scrape, or redistribute the pack from an unofficial copy. If someone asks you for a copy, send them to the official project page instead. This helps users receive the correct version and protects them from altered or unsafe files.

03

What you may do

As long as you follow this license, you may:

• Use the resource pack in your own Minecraft worlds, servers, recordings, livestreams, screenshots, and other personal or public gameplay.
• Use the resource pack in videos, livestreams, social posts, and other content that you create, including content that is monetised through normal platform advertising, memberships, sponsorships, or similar creator programmes.
• Use the resource pack in a public or private modpack when users obtain it through an official launcher or project integration rather than receiving a bundled copy.
• Create a separate addon or companion resource pack that depends on the original pack, provided that the addon contains only your own work and does not include copies of the original files.
• Make private changes for your own use. Private changes may not be uploaded, shared, or distributed.

04

Modpacks and addons

Modpack authors may reference a NotToBlame resource pack through a supported launcher or official project integration. The pack must be downloaded by the user from its official source. Do not place the original archive, extracted files, or copied assets inside your modpack repository, release archive, server bundle, or download mirror.

Addons are welcome when they genuinely add your own work and remain separate from the original pack. An addon must depend on the original resource pack, clearly identify that dependency, and direct users to the official download page. It must not repackage, overwrite, extract, or redistribute original NotToBlame files.

Do not publish a modified version as a new standalone resource pack, even if you changed some files. If your project needs the original assets, publish it as a separate addon instead.

05

Videos, streams, and community content

NotToBlame encourages people to show these resource packs in their work. You may feature them in gameplay, tutorials, reviews, livestreams, screenshots, thumbnails, social media, and other creative content without asking for separate permission.

Credit is not required, but it is greatly appreciated. Where practical, include “NotToBlame” and a link to the official project page or nottobla.me/projects/. Credit should not suggest that NotToBlame sponsors or approves unrelated content unless that has been agreed separately.

06

What you may not do

You may not:

• Reupload, mirror, share, or redistribute an original resource pack or any of its files.
• Include original files in another project, repository, modpack archive, server download, launcher package, asset bundle, or collection.
• Publish a modified or translated version that contains original NotToBlame work as a standalone project.
• Extract textures, models, sounds, artwork, or other assets for use in a separate project without written permission.
• Claim ownership of the Licensed Materials, remove ownership notices, or present them as assets made by someone else.
• Use the Licensed Materials to create a competing download, mirror, asset library, marketplace listing, or paid distribution.
• Use the Licensed Materials in a way that is unlawful, misleading, harmful, or likely to damage the reputation of NotToBlame.

07

Commercial use and profit

You may use the resource packs in monetised videos, livestreams, screenshots, and other creator content as described above. That permission does not allow you to sell, rent, license, paywall, bundle, or otherwise distribute the Licensed Materials themselves for profit.

Without prior written permission, you may not place the original files behind a subscription, ad-link gate, donation requirement, paid modpack, paid server download, marketplace listing, commercial client project, or other payment barrier. You may not charge for access to a copy or modified copy of the resource pack.

If you have a commercial use case that is not clearly covered here, contact NotToBlame before publishing it. Written permission applies only to the specific use that it describes.

08

Credit, names, and project presentation

Credit is optional, but a clear link to the official project page is appreciated whenever your format allows it. You may refer to a pack by its published name to identify what you are using. Do not use the NotToBlame name, logos, or project artwork in a way that suggests an official partnership, endorsement, or ownership of your separate project.

Third-party content, platform marks, or other materials that may appear in a project are not covered by this license and remain subject to their own terms.

09

Enforcement and permission changes

Your permission to use the Licensed Materials ends automatically if you materially breach this license. If that happens, you must stop distributing the affected use and remove copies that you control. NotToBlame may request the removal of unauthorised uploads, listings, mirrors, or bundled files and may use any other remedies available under applicable law.

NotToBlame may update this license for future releases. The terms that applied when you obtained a particular pack continue to govern that copy, unless a later project-specific notice clearly replaces them or the law requires otherwise. Nothing in this license removes rights that cannot legally be excluded.
