Initial Hellion Forge documentation for the Craftimizer fork. - Replace stub README with full project page (badges, fork scope table, tech stack, build instructions, project status, license block, FFXIV disclaimer, Hellion Forge footer) - Add NOTICE.md with acknowledgement to Asriel Camora as the upstream author, direct word on fork intent, scope of changes, contact path, and explicit non-upstreaming rationale - Add COPYRIGHT with dual-holder source code block (Asriel 2023 + Hellion Online Media 2026 for the SDK 15 maintenance), visual asset block (Hellion Forge logo by Florian Eck, all-rights-reserved), and bundled binary attribution (Raphael solver) - Drop in the Hellion Forge logo under docs/images/ LICENSE remains unchanged — Asriel Camora's original MIT notice is mandatory under MIT clause 3.

## Acknowledgements

|
|
This Craftimizer fork is built on
|
|
[Craftimizer](https://github.com/WorkingRobot/Craftimizer) by
|
|
**[Asriel Camora](https://github.com/WorkingRobot)**, who built and
|
|
maintained the plugin for years. The entire architecture, the crafting
|
|
simulator, the macro solver, the recipe data layer, the synthesis helper,
|
|
and every UI window come from Asriel's work. Without Craftimizer, this
|
|
fork would not exist.
|
|
|
|
If this fork is useful to you, the credit for that belongs in large
|
|
part to Asriel.
|
|
|
|
## A direct word to Asriel
|
|
|
|
Hi. I am Jon. I forked Craftimizer because the upstream `main` branch
|
|
had not received an update past FFXIV 7.4, and I wanted a working
|
|
crafting plugin for personal use that still loads on the current Dalamud
|
|
API. This is not a "do it better" fork. The opposite is true. I would
|
|
have happily kept using upstream if it had stayed current.
|
|
|
|
What this fork adds is purely a Dalamud SDK 14 → 15 migration cycle.
|
|
Concretely, three changes in `FFXIVClientStructs` and Dalamud's `ImRaii`
|
|
namespace were renamed or removed; this fork ports the affected call
|
|
sites to the new symbol names and adds a local `IEndObject` interface to
|
|
replace the nested one Dalamud removed. No new features, no design
|
|
departures, no rebranding of internal namespaces. Where I had to modify
|
|
your sources I kept the edits minimal, isolated to the lines the SDK 15
|
|
compiler refused, and revertible.
|
|
|
|
If you pick Craftimizer back up and ship an upstream SDK 15 update, this
|
|
fork folds back into a pure mirror and the recommendation will be to
|
|
switch back to your build.
|
|
|
|
If anything in this fork ever steps on something you would not be okay
|
|
with — attribution, naming, anything else — please reach out and I will
|
|
fix it. Genuinely.
|
|
|
|
## Why this fork exists
|
|
|
|
The upstream `main` last commit is "Update for 7.4" from late 2025. The
|
|
plugin is otherwise dormant: no SDK 15 branch, no public roadmap, no
|
|
recent issue activity from the maintainer. FFXIV 7.5 brought the Dalamud
|
|
API jump from level 14 to 15 in early 2026, and Craftimizer stopped
|
|
loading from then on. My personal crafting workflow depends on it, so I
|
|
took the maintenance burden on for a while.
|
|
|
|
This fork is maintained for personal and friend-circle use under Hellion
|
|
Forge. It is not a competing project and does not target the broader
|
|
Craftimizer user base.
|
|
|
|
## Why this fork is not upstreamed
|
|
|
|
I did not open a pull request because the upstream repository has been
|
|
quiet for months and there is no signal that maintenance bandwidth is
|
|
available on Asriel's side. A drive-by SDK-15-bump PR with no maintainer
|
|
to land it would sit open indefinitely and create the wrong impression
|
|
that the change has been reviewed. If upstream becomes active again and
|
|
wants the migration, the change set is small enough (+23 / -19 lines,
|
|
seven files) to merge by hand in minutes.
|

## Trademarks and naming
|
|
|
|
"Craftimizer" is the name Asriel chose for the upstream plugin. This
|
|
fork keeps the name as a reference to the origin and does not rebrand
|
|
the user-facing identity. The Hellion brand is mine.
