Development note

This project is AI-assisted: the code is written with Claude under the direction, testing and release approval of the maintainer. Every release is run against a live Paper server before it ships.

Human-led development: a human maintainer directs, tests and takes responsibility for every release; AI is used as a development tool (disclosed per Modrinth policy). The icon is hand-made geometric artwork, not AI-generated.
