Is it OK that I usually read other mods' open source code for learning without any permission?

Usually when I want add something into my mod, but don't know how to make it, and there is an other mod where the similar feature was sucsessfully done, I see for its source code if it's open to learn how author managed it. But now I start to think that it could be a bit unfair that I do it without any permission from the author. And here we are, I decided just to aks such a question to the community to know what do you guys think about it.

P.S. Sorry if I made mistakes in my English, it's not my native and don't have a high level of it.

If the mod is open source, then it is completely fine, and likely one of the reasons the mod author made their mod open source to begin with.

If you release a mod, perhaps include the authors of open source mods that have given you help/inspiration in your credits/thanks/readme.

Thank you, you made me feel much less guilty c:

Reading is definitely acceptable because it is a learning experience. However id look at the license before using their code to see what they allow.

      1.20.1; horrendous lag, latest log filled with "Saving chunks for level 'ServerLevel'" for every dimension

      By gsanders4319 · Posted

      I cannot find any information on why this is specifically happening in any of the logs and i'm getting annoyed. it manifests primarily as lag when breaking and placing blocks, or picking up items. Items will be picked up than disappear, only to appear in my inventory many seconds later, blocks will not place for over 30 seconds at a time. observable shows 100459 μs/t on minecraft:player spark profile doesnt seem to show anything strange as far as i can tell though except for that about 20% of the usage is something called crusty_chunks and another 20% is distant horizons, even when i have distant rendering disabled. I've attached the latest.log, spark profile and observable exports.
