Whats Changes

New Upload Task

Instead of running modrinth and curseforge when calling publish, these three tasks now exist independ from eachother, allowing users to publish only to maven. This can be useful if modrinth or curseforge completed successfully, allowing users to only re-run the failing parts.

There is now a new upload task, that runs all of these three in a specific order.

example project structure

└── project/
    ├── settings.gradle.kts
    ├── build.gradle.kts
    ├── common/
    │   └── build.gradle.kts
    ├── fabric/
    │   └── build.gradle.kts
    └── neoforge/
        └── build.gradle.kts

# tasks will be ran in the following order
:upload
   :curseforge
      :fabric:curseforge
      :neoforge:curseforge
   :modrinth
      :fabric:modrinth
      :neoforge:modrinth
   :publish
      :common:publish
      :fabric:publish
      :neoforge:publish

Enabled Module Metadata Generation

Module Metadata was previously disabled, as it was known to cause problems in modded environments, especially with ForgeGradle. It has now been enabled again and will receive similar modifications like the POM has already been receiving.

This means runtime-only dependencies will be removed from there. For forge it will remain disabled.

It is used for example by NeoForge's ModDevGradle to publish & include transitive Access Transformers

Detect required Java Version

The java_version property no longer defaults to 21, but will not be set according the the specified Minecraft version.

Minecraft Version	Java Version
≤ 1.20.1	17
1.21.*	21
≥ 26.1	26

Unit-Test helper for NeoForge

The neoforge extension has a new unitTests property. When set to true, it will enable & setup the NeoForge Unit Tests. No further setup is required, the required test dependencies are already added by the plugin.
