## Removed / replaced (still owe thanks)

| Project | Why replaced | Where it went |
|---------|--------------|---------------|
| Lands | Paid, closed source — incompatible w/ FOSS mission. Author Angeschossen still produced excellent work; our switch is principle, not criticism. | Replaced by LandClaimPlugin |
| LitePlaytimeRewards | Upstream dead since 2021 | Awaiting FOSS replacement |
| CosmicGuard | Premium continuous build, can't audit | GrimAC covers anti-cheat |

## Special

This server was scaffolded with help from Claude Code (Anthropic). Documentation written collaboratively. Bugs, design choices, and any opinions in this repo are the operator's, not the AI's.
