🔐 BuiltByBit License

EventForge is a premium resource distributed through BuiltByBit.

A valid license is granted when you purchase EventForge from the official BuiltByBit resource page.

Official purchases​

EventForge should only be downloaded from the official BuiltByBit resource page.

When you purchase EventForge, BuiltByBit provides a buyer-specific download. This allows EventForge to identify the licensed buyer during startup.

A valid purchase gives you access to:

  • the EventForge plugin jar
  • updates for your purchased version/resource
  • support
  • documentation and setup guidance
  • access to official downloads

License validation​

EventForge includes BuiltByBit license validation.

When the plugin starts, it can validate the buyer information injected by BuiltByBit and display a console message similar to:

[EventForge] [License] BuiltByBit product licensed to: HxZe (668531)

This confirms that the copy was downloaded through BuiltByBit and is associated with a licensed buyer.

Why license validation exists​

License validation helps protect EventForge from:

  • unauthorised redistribution
  • leaked copies
  • fake downloads
  • cracked versions
  • modified resale copies
  • unsupported third-party uploads

It also helps with support, this way we can verify whether a user owns a legitimate license.

Do not redistribute EventForge​

You may not upload, share, resell, leak, or redistribute EventForge.

This includes sharing:

EventForge.jar
EventForge source code
modified EventForge jars
license-patched jars
cracked copies
private buyer downloads

Your BuiltByBit download is tied to your purchase.

If you share it publicly or privately, it may still contain buyer-identifying information.

Do not tamper with licensing​

Do not attempt to remove, bypass, disable, patch, crack, or modify EventForge licensing systems.

This includes:

  • editing the jar to bypass validation
  • removing BuiltByBit checks
  • modifying license messages
  • replacing buyer information
  • distributing patched versions
  • selling modified copies
  • claiming the plugin as your own

Tampering with licensing may result in support being refused and may be reported through BuiltByBit where appropriate.

Do not sell unofficial copies​

Only the official author should sell EventForge.

Do not sell:

  • reuploaded EventForge jars
  • cracked EventForge versions
  • modified EventForge builds
  • “nulled” copies
  • bundles containing EventForge without permission

If you bought EventForge, that does not give you permission to resell the plugin itself.

Event packs and addons​

EventForge is designed to support third-party event packs and addons.

You may create your own:

  • event configuration packs
  • custom objective addons
  • server-specific event files
  • integrations using the public API

However, your pack or addon must not include or redistribute the EventForge plugin jar itself.

Good:

MyEventPack/
├─ pack.yml
└─ events/
   └─ my_event.yml

Good:

MyEventForgeAddon.jar
Not allowed:
MyPack/
├─ EventForge.jar
└─ MyEventPack/

Server owners should purchase/download EventForge separately from the official BuiltByBit page.

Developer API license note​

The public API is available through Maven Central:

<dependency>
  <groupId>dev.hxze</groupId>
  <artifactId>eventforge-api</artifactId>
  <version>{eventforge-api-version}</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

This API dependency is provided so developers can compile addons.

It does not grant permission to redistribute the premium EventForge plugin jar.

Server owner installation​

Server owners should install:

plugins/EventForge.jar
plugins/YourAddon.jar
Do not install a separate API jar.

If someone claims you must install a EventForge API jar, don't trust it!

The eventforge-api dependency is for developers using Maven.

BuiltByBit placeholders​

BuiltByBit injects anti-piracy placeholders into downloaded files.

EventForge can use these placeholders to validate a license and identify the buyer.

Example placeholders include:

%%__USER__%%
%%__USERNAME__%%
%%__RESOURCE__%%
%%__VERSION__%%
%%__TIMESTAMP__%%
%%__NONCE__%%

These values are used for license validation and buyer identification.

Strict license behaviour​

EventForge supports strict license behaviour.

warning

EventForge may disable itself when license validation fails and no valid cached license is available.

Support policy​

Official support is intended for legitimate buyers.

If you are using a leaked, modified, cracked, or redistributed copy, support may be refused.

If you need help, use your official BuiltByBit purchase account when requesting support.

tip

Include your license number

What to do if you see a leaked copy​

If you find EventForge uploaded somewhere unofficially, do not download it.

Unofficial copies may be:

  • outdated
  • modified
  • unsafe
  • unsupported
  • missing files
  • bundled with malicious code

Use the official BuiltByBit resource page instead.

Summary​

EventForge licensing protects the plugin, the author, and legitimate buyers.

Purchase EventForge through BuiltByBit, do not redistribute it, do not tamper with licensing, and use the official download for updates and support.
