Dear GitHub Copyright Agent(s),

I am submitting this Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice regarding unauthorized content uploaded to GitHub. This content infringes on [private] copyrighted work—a Minecraft mod [private] developed as part of a commission. Payment for the work was revoked by the client, and the material has been uploaded without [private] consent.

Statement of Understanding
I have read and understand GitHub’s guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.

Identification of the Copyrighted Work
The infringed work consists of custom code developed by [private] as part of the commissioned mod. Below is a grouped description of the infringed files:

1. Core Utility Classes:

• AbstractModMenu.class and AbstractModMenu.java
• AddedPlayerInventories.java
• ModResultSlot.java

2. Custom Block Functionality (Witches Cauldron):

• WitchesCauldron.class and WitchesCauldron.java
• WitchesCauldronBlockEntity.java

https://github.com/MasterQuentus/Hexcraft-1.20

Remedy to Resolve the Infringement
To remedy this infringement, the infringer must:

1. Remove the repository and any associated files containing [private] copyrighted materials from GitHub immediately or;
2. Revoke their [private] dispute and pay the outstanding balance of $160.51 USD, which includes:

• $145.51 USD representing the payment originally credited to [private] after [private] processing fees, now reversed.
• $15 USD for the fee [private] charged me for the dispute.

Failure to comply with either condition will result in further legal action to protect [private] rights and intellectual property.

Details of Infringement / Acknowledgment of Fair Use

The infringer uploaded these files, including .class files (compiled versions of [private] .java source code), which are [private] intellectual property. Portions of boilerplate code or public tutorials do not diminish the originality of the overall implementation.

Evidence of Ownership

I provide the following evidence to demonstrate [private] authorship:

• Communication Logs:
  Chat logs from [private] and [private] showing commission terms, discussions of functionality, payment agreements, and delivery of the mod.

• Local File Timestamps:
  Files showing the “last modified” date predating the infringer’s uploads.

• Transactional Records:
  [private] records showing partial payments and the client’s revocation of payment.

• Alias Confirmation:
  [private] use of aliases ([private], [private], and [private]…?) across [private], [private], and GitHub, as evidenced in chat logs and metadata.

A detailed zip file containing these materials is attached for review.

Good Faith Statement

I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material in the manner complained of is not authorized by me, the copyright owner, my agent, or the law.

Sworn Statement

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate, to the best of my knowledge, and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
