Partial The patcher itself is a small .NET tool, but it depends on knowing exactly which IL methods in the PCL2 assembly to change. Locating and safely patching those targets requires reverse-engineering skill that vibe coding does not supply.
What it would actually take: Build a small C# tool that uses dnlib to load the PCL2 assembly, locate the RestrictMcDownload check by name or IL signature, rewrite the branch or return logic, and save a patched copy. The hard part is decompiling the target build (e.g., with dnSpy or ILSpy) to identify the right method, and handling version drift between releases. This needs basic .NET reverse-engineering experience.
