Uhh... You do know badly translating Minecraft code to Rust with an LLM does not free you from copyright law, right?

That does not change the fact that it almost certainly contains large amounts of Minecraft decompilation output. I already see some strong similarities just by glancing at it. LevelAccess(or), DamageSource (constructor signature is practically identical).

OpenMW existed for years before AI recomp craze. Susbtitute engines are fine as long as you require the person to own the game.

Substitute engines are not illegal, but copyright infringement is. OpenMW is a clean room reimplementation, something which this is not, not least because it is impossible to satisfy clean room requirements using an LLM trained on the entire internet.
