Patches that aren't enabled by default generally meet at least one of the following criteria:

• The new behavior created by the patch is (possibly) not what's actually intended by Mojang
• The patch circumvents the issue but doesn't truly correct it
• The manner in which the patch is applied is not technically elegant and might cause unforeseen issues and/or performance degradation
• Mojang has not assigned the ticket a priority, meaning that a Mojang employee has not yet personally reviewed the ticket and confirmed that the described behavior is unintentional
• Mojang closed the ticket with the "Cannot Reproduce" resolution, meaning that a Mojang employee was unable to reproduce the described issue
• Mojang closed the ticket with the "Won't Fix" resolution, meaning that the behavior is confirmed unintentional but they don't care enough to fix it themselves

If you wish to enable them, you will have to do so in .minecraft/configs/whiteout.properties.

Disclaimers

Whiteout is in no way associated with the Paper project. Please do not contact the maintainers of the Paper project about Whiteout.

License

Since all bug fixes provided by this mod are ported from Paper, said fixes inherit their licensing from the Paper project, which is licensed under the GPLv3.

While some contributors to the Paper project chose to release their code under the more permissive MIT License, it is easier, and legally permissible, to release this entire project under the GPLv3.

Compatibility

Best effort is made to keep Whiteout compatible with Lithium. Reporting of issues with compatibility is appreciated.

Compatibility with all other mods is at my discretion.

Compatibility with Sinytra Connector and similar projects is not supported at all. Issues using Whiteout with such layers are the responsibility of those wishing to use it.

Backporting

I currently do not have the time to maintain backports. Deprecated versions will likely never be supported. Do not open issue tickets asking for backports.
