Hi! I've noticed your mod includes parts of Status Effect Bars as mentioned in your readme, but I think your mod may not comply with some points of the LGPL license (nothing scary, just some simple fixes to make):

(or a shorter version like this)

(Alternatively you can make a list of files licensed under LGPL and put it somewhere "prominent")

- You included the COPYING file in your project but you're missing the [COPYING.LESSER](https://github.com/A5b84/status-effect-bars/blob/main/COPYING.LESSER) file (strictly speaking this is allowed by the license but it has implications that may not be intentional so I'd recommend adding the second file)

Thanks :)

Thank you for the comprehensive heads-up. My PR will remove all LGPL code, but I will still provide the copying and continue to include you as a contributor to the mod.
