+    ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
+    INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES

+    THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
+    HEREUNDER.
+
+Statement of Purpose
+
+The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
+exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
+and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
+authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
+
+Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
+the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
+scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
+of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
+works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
+and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
+These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
+culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
+works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
+part through the use and efforts of others.
+
+For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
+expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
+associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
+is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
+elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
+terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
+Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
+
+1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
+protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
+Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
+limited to, the following:
+
+  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
+     communicate, and translate a Work;
+ ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
+iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
+     likeness depicted in a Work;
+ iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
+     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
+  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
+     in a Work;
+ vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
+     European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
+     protection of databases, and under any national implementation
+     thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
+     directive); and
+vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
+     world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
+     implementations thereof.
+
+2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
+of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
+irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
+Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
+of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
+future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
+worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
+treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
+medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
+including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
+purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
+member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
+successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
+revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
+equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
+as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
+
+3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
+be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
+Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
+account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
+extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
+person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
+irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
+Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
+maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
+time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
+of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
+limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
+"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
+applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
+reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
+partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
+of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
+will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
+Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
+action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
+express Statement of Purpose.
+
+4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
+
+ a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
+    surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
+ b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
+    warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
+    statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
+    title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
+    infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
+    the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
+    the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
+ c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
+    that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
+    limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
+    Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
+    consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
+    Work.
+ d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
+    party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
+    this CC0 or use of the Work.

+# 🔥 TinyTorch
+
+A Minecraft Fabric mod that makes lighting more realistic and atmospheric by reducing torch brightness and adding optional flickering effects.
+
+## Features
+
+### ✨ Core Features
+
+- **Reduced Light Radius**: Normal torch brightness reduced from light level 14 to configurable level (default: 8)
+- **Works for all torch types**: Both standing and wall torches affected
+- **Configurable**: All settings customizable via `tinytorch.json`
+
+### 🎭 Optional Effects
+
+- **Flicker Effect**: Light level oscillates randomly ±1 every few ticks to simulate flickering flame
+- **Particle Effects**: Small smoke and spark particles appear occasionally around torches
+- **Held Light**: Torches emit weak light (level 4-5) when held in main/offhand
+- **Smart Updates**: Held light only updates when player moves for performance
+
+### ⚡ Advanced Features
+
+- **Light Falloff Curve**: Sharper brightness drop-off after a few blocks (dark corners stay dark)
+- **Material-Based Lighting**: 
+  - Stone/Cobblestone/Deepslate absorb light slightly
+  - Iron/Copper/Gold blocks reflect light slightly
+- **Performance Optimized**: Lightweight implementation compatible with OptiFine/Sodium
+
+## Configuration
+
+The mod creates a `tinytorch.json` config file in your config directory:
+
+```json
+{
+  "torch_light_level": 8,
+  "held_light_level": 5, 
+  "enable_flicker": true,
+  "flicker_speed": 5,
+  "use_falloff_curve": true,
+  "held_light": true
+}
+```
+
+### Config Options
+
+- `torch_light_level` (0-15): Light level emitted by placed torches (default: 8)
+- `held_light_level` (0-15): Light level when holding a torch (default: 5)
+- `enable_flicker` (true/false): Enable flickering flame effect (default: true)
+- `flicker_speed` (1+): Ticks between flicker changes, higher = slower (default: 5)
+- `use_falloff_curve` (true/false): Use custom sharp light falloff (default: true) 
+- `held_light` (true/false): Enable dynamic lighting when holding torches (default: true)
+
+## Gameplay Impact
+
+- **Caves become darker** even with torches, forcing closer placement
+- **Building interiors** have cozy, dim lighting atmosphere
+- **Night exploration** feels eerie but natural
+- **Torches glow gently** in-hand when walking at night
+- **Strategic lighting** becomes more important for visibility
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install [Fabric Loader](https://fabricmc.net/use/)
+2. Install [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)
+3. Download TinyTorch jar
+4. Place in your `mods` folder
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- ✅ **Fabric API**: Required
+- ✅ **OptiFine**: Compatible
+- ✅ **Sodium**: Compatible  
+- ✅ **Shaders**: Works with vanilla lighting pipeline
+- ✅ **Multiplayer**: Server-side mod, clients benefit from effects
+
+## Technical Details
+
+- **Minecraft Version**: 1.21.1
+- **Fabric Loader**: 0.17.3+
+- **Java**: 21+
+- **License**: CC0-1.0
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build
+```
+
+Built jar will be in `build/libs/`
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions welcome! Please ensure:
+- Code follows existing style
+- Features are configurable
+- Performance impact is minimal
+- Works on both client and server
+

+
+*Made with ❤️ for atmospheric Minecraft lighting*

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
