A versatile GitHub Action to streamline the publication of Minecraft projects.
Supports mods, plugins, resource packs, and more, across various platforms such as Modrinth, GitHub Releases, and CurseForge. Features automatic value resolution and minimal configuration requirements for effortless setup and use.
The following verbose example is for illustrative purposes only and is not recommended for regular use. `mc-publish` was designed to require minimal configuration, so there's no need for all of these settings.
Overly complex configurations with hardcoded values that could be resolved automatically not only complicate your workflow but can also introduce errors. For example, attempting to use `github-discussion: Announcements` in a repository that doesn't have a "Announcements" discussion category or discussions in general would lead to problems.
As a rule of thumb, if you don't see a clear reason to use an input, it's best not to include it.

Please note that any top-level property *(`name`, `version`, `dependencies`, `files`, etc.)* can be used as a target-specific one. This allows you to customize `mc-publish` to better meet your individual preferences and requirements. To illustrate, let's take a look at the following configuration:
Sets the behavior for unfeaturing older Modrinth versions. Default value is `subset`, if [`modrinth-featured`](#modrinth-featured) is set to `true`; otherwise, `none`.
-`none` - no Modrinth versions will be unfeatured.
-`subset` - only those Modrinth versions which are considered a subset of the new one *(i.e., new release supports all of the version's mod loaders **and** game versions)* will be unfeatured.
-`intersection` - only those Modrinth versions which intersects with the new one *(i.e., support at least one of the mod loaders and one of the game versions supported by the new release)* will be unfeatured.
-`any` - all Modrinth versions will be unfeatured.
If none of the given presets suits your needs, you can construct a new one from the following values via bitwise `OR`, like so - `game-version-intersection | loaders-subset`:
Set to `true` to generate a changelog automatically for this release; `false` otherwise. Ignored if the GitHub Release already exists. Default value is `true`, if `changelog` and `changelog-file` are not provided; otherwise, `false`.
Set to `true` to mark the release as a prerelease; `false` otherwise. Ignored if the GitHub Release already exists. Default value is `false`, if [`version-type`](version-type) is `release`; otherwise, `true`.
Defines the commitish value that determines where the Git tag is created from. Can be any branch or commit SHA. Ignored if the Git tag already exists. Default value is the repository's default branch.
The name of the version. Defaults to a title of the release that triggered the action. If you want Modrinth and CurseForge to determine the version name themselves, omit the field with an empty string (`""`).
The version type - alpha, beta, or release. By default, it will be parsed from the [`version`](#version) value. If no value is provided, it will be parsed from the [`version`](#version) value (e.g., `0.40.0+1.17-alpha` results in `alpha`).
An array of supported mod loaders. By default, it will be automatically determined from your project's metadata file (e.g., `fabric.mod.json`, `mods.toml`, `quilt.mod.json`, etc.).
An array of supported Minecraft versions. By default, `mc-publish` will look for `minecraft` dependency in your project's metadata file (e.g., `fabric.mod.json`, `mods.toml`, `quilt.mod.json`, etc.).
The format for dependencies can be described as follows: `id@version(type){platform:alias}#(ignore:ignored-platform)`. Each component of this format, with the exception of the `id`, is optional.
-`fail` - immediately sets the action status to **failed** and terminates its execution.
-`warn` - warns about errors. The action won't be terminated, nor its status will be set to **failed**.
-`skip` - warns about errors. The action won't be terminated, but its status will be set to **failed** after all specified targets have been processed.
