End User License Agreement

SquidServers ("Licensed Application") is a piece of software created to simplify the process of creating and hosting Java Edition Minecraft servers by providing users with an intuitive desktop interface, removing the need for technical setup steps like port forwarding, manual downloads, or server configuration. It is used to allow users to quickly set up and launch their own self-hosted Minecraft server through a guided GUI-based setup wizard. It automates the downloading of server files, sets up compatible server types like Paper, Forge, and other modded server platforms.

Furthermore, it provides a local management hub for viewing and managing existing Minecraft server instances, automatically downloads compatible server versions to reduce setup time, and serves as a learning tool for new server owners to understand and manage Minecraft servers without needing deep technical knowledge.
