Uploading to modrinth / other plugin sites?

[DereC4]

Hello! I was wondering if you had ever considered uploading builds to modrinth and plugin sites to allow for more people to find this easily!

When I first looked into them, Modrinth and Hangar were too new and no tools existed to automate uploads. I don't like manually uploading files for a number of reasons. Primarily, it's boring, and I could be having fun writing code instead. In addition to that I feel like it gives people a small sense of extra security knowing that a file has been automatically compiled from open source, uploaded, and never touched by human hands during the process (though I should probably just start signing jars if I'm that worried about people thinking about interference).

At this point, supporting them would require me to swap to a different action like mc-publish. That might be necessary anyway, as the action I currently use for CurseForge hasn't been updated in a long time and only accidentally supports plugins. CurseForge has separate MC versions for Bukkit plugins, but it selects the Forge MC version, that gets removed because it's not available for Bukkit plugins, and then CurseForge defaults to the latest Bukkit version.
That said, I have 3 course projects due this week and finals next week. I will not be devoting brainpower to looking into other upload actions.

In terms of other plugin sites, OpenInv already is on Bukkit/CurseForge, and Spigot's resources system is too difficult to automate to bother with.

lowk i had no idea mc-publish existed and that would've made my modding hobby so much more streamlined
