What Mod Publish Plugin is

Mod Publish Plugin is a free, self-hosted Gradle plugin for publishing Minecraft mods to multiple destinations. It can send releases to CurseForge, Modrinth, GitHub, Gitea, GitLab, Forgejo, Codeberg, and Discord. A typesafe DSL configures several locations with little repetition; after setup, the Gradle publishMods task performs publishing. Failed attempts are retried, with the common maxRetries setting defaulting to 3 and configurable. Dry-run mode stores release assets in the build directory for checking. Platform access tokens can be supplied through environment variables in the documented configuration examples. The plugin is independent of mod loader, supports Groovy build scripts, and lists Fabric and Forge among supported loaders. CurseForge publishing requires at least one supported environment, client, server, or both. The project describes its API as stable and prioritizes backwards compatibility. It is installed through a Gradle plugins block from the Gradle Plugin Portal. Version 2.0.0 requires Gradle 9.0.0 or newer.

Who it suits
