# Notice on the game data

> Required Notice: Copyright 2026 DSSidhu2206. https://github.com/DSSidhu2206/PalDataKit


Read this before you use or redistribute anything from this repository.

## What belongs to whom

Palworld and all of its content are the property of Pocketpair, Inc. This project claims no
ownership of any of it.

What this project claims is the toolkit built around that data. That means the generator
scripts, the verifier, the stress harness, the mechanics engine, the schema and registry
structure, and the documentation. Those are covered by the terms in `LICENSE`.

The `LICENSE` file applies to the toolkit only. It grants you nothing in respect of
Pocketpair's content, because those rights are not this project's to grant.

## What is actually in the package, stated plainly

The `palworld-datakit` folder is not only a description of the game's data. It contains the
game's data itself, read out of the game files and rewritten in a machine readable form.

Specifically it includes:

* The values from the game's data tables, such as item stats, prices, drop rates, recipes,
  spawn entries, and arena setups.
* The game's English text, around 10,700 strings and 700,000 characters, including item
  names, item descriptions, skill text, and note text. This is Pocketpair's writing,
  reproduced as it appears in the game.
* Identifiers, enum values, and the relationships between tables.

Anyone considering redistribution should treat the package as a copy of the game's data
rather than as commentary about it.

## What is not included

There are no game executables, no art, no audio, no models, no animations, and no packaged
game files. There is no `.pak` and no mappings file. Nothing here lets a person play
Palworld or any part of it.

To regenerate the package you must own Palworld and have it installed. This project ships
the result of reading your own copy, not a substitute for owning the game.

## Why this exists

This is an interoperability aid for people who make Palworld mods and tools. Without it,
every mod author and tool author repeats the same extraction work and guesses at field names
and legal values, and ships mods that crash players. The purpose is compatibility and
correctness, not substitution for the game.

## If you redistribute

Keep this notice with the package. Keep the build stamp that every generated file carries, so
the data can always be traced back to the exact game version it came from.

Do not present the data as your own work, and do not sell it.

## If Pocketpair objects

If Pocketpair asks for this to be changed or taken down, comply. Their rights come first.
Anyone maintaining a copy or a fork should do the same.

## Not legal advice

This notice describes what the project contains and what it intends. It is not legal advice
and it is not a grant of rights over Pocketpair's content. If you plan to redistribute this
package, or to build anything on it that earns money, review the position yourself and check
Pocketpair's current terms for fan and modding projects before you do.
