## Publish Minecraft Mods - GitHub Action [![GitHub tag](https://img.shields.io/github/tag/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish.svg?cacheSeconds=3600)](https://github.com/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish/releases/latest) [![GitHub build status](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish/ci/master?cacheSeconds=3600)](https://github.com/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish.svg?cacheSeconds=36000)](https://github.com/Kir-Antipov/mc-publish#readme) The `Publish Minecraft Mods` action helps you upload assets of your Minecraft mods to GitHub Releases, Modrinth and CurseForge. This is a cross-platform action that runs on any environment. ### 📖 Usage Most of the values are automatically resolved *(read further for more info)*. Therefore, here's all you really need to publish your mod: ```yml jobs: build: # ... steps: - uses: Kir-Antipov/mc-publish@v3.1 with: # You don't need this section if you don't want to publish # your assets to Modrinth modrinth-id: AANobbMI modrinth-token: ${{ secrets.MODRINTH_TOKEN }} # You don't need this section if you don't want to publish # your assets to CurseForge curseforge-id: 394468 curseforge-token: ${{ secrets.CURSEFORGE_TOKEN }} # You don't need this section if you don't want to publish # your assets to GitHub github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} ``` ### 📖🦜 Unnecessary Verbose Example Please, **do not** consider the following example as something you should use. `mc-publish` was made to be as zero-configy as possible, you just do not need all this. It's here to show you most of the available inputs in the form of an actual configuration. It not only hurts me on a spiritual level to see configurations with hardcoded values that could be automatically resolved, but sometimes people copy-paste inputs that will break their workflows, e.g., I saw someone trying to use `github-discussion: Announcements` in repo that had neither "Announcements" discussion category, nor discussions in general. [Occam's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor) in action - if you don't see a reason to use an input, just don't use it. With all that said, let's get back to our unnecessary verbose example: ```yml jobs: build: # ... steps: - uses: Kir-Antipov/mc-publish@v3.1 with: modrinth-id: AANobbMI modrinth-featured: true modrinth-unfeature-mode: subset modrinth-token: ${{ secrets.MODRINTH_TOKEN }} curseforge-id: 394468 curseforge-token: ${{ secrets.CURSEFORGE_TOKEN }} github-tag: mc1.17.1-0.3.2 github-generate-changelog: true github-draft: false github-prerelease: false github-commitish: dev github-discussion: Announcements github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} files-primary: build/libs/!(*-@(dev|sources|javadoc)).jar files-secondary: build/libs/*-@(dev|sources|javadoc).jar name: Sodium 0.3.2 for Minecraft 1.17.1 version: mc1.17.1-0.3.2 version-type: release changelog-file: CHANGELOG.md loaders: | fabric forge quilt game-versions: | 1.18.2 1.19 21w37a dependencies: | required-dependency | depends | * optional-dependency | recommends | 0.1.0 suggested-dependency | suggests | 0.2.0 included-dependency | includes | 0.3.0 conflicting-dependency | conflicts | * incompatible-dependency | breaks | * java: | 8 17 retry-attempts: 2 retry-delay: 10000 fail-mode: fail ``` ### 📝 Inputs | Name | Description | Default value | Examples | |------|-------------|---------------|----------| | [modrinth-id](#user-content-modrinth-id) | The ID of the Modrinth project to upload to | A value specified in the config file | `AANobbMI` | | [modrinth-token](#user-content-modrinth-token) | A valid token for the Modrinth API | ❌ | `${{ secrets.MODRINTH_TOKEN }}` | | [modrinth-featured](#user-content-modrinth-featured) | Indicates whether the version should be featured on Modrinth or not | `true` | `true`

It's required if you want to publish your assets to GitHub. ```yaml github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} ``` #### files A glob of the file(s) to upload.

```yaml loaders: | fabric forge quilt ``` #### game-versions A list of supported Minecraft versions. If no value is provided, the minimum supported version will be retrieved from the configuration file of your mod, if any, otherwise it will be parsed from the [`version`](#user-content-version) value (e.g., `0.40.0+1.17` results in `1.17`), and then it will be expanded using the specified [`version-resolver`](#user-content-version-resolver). ```yaml game-versions: | 1.16.5 1.17 1.17.1 21w37a ``` #### version-resolver Determines the way automatic `game-versions` resolvement works. Default value is `releasesIfAny`. ```yaml version-resolver: latest ``` Available values: - `exact` - exact game version *(`1.16` -> `1.16`)* - `latest` - the latest release of the given minor *(`1.16` -> `1.16.5`)* - `all` - all versions of the given minor starting with the specified build *(`1.16.5` -> `[20w45a, 20w46a, 20w48a, 20w49a, 20w51a, 1.16.5-rc1, 1.16.5]`)* - `releases` - all releases of the given minor starting with the specified build *(`1.16.3` -> `[1.16.3, 1.16.4, 1.16.5]`)* - `releasesIfAny` - all releases of the given minor starting with the specified build, if any; otherwise, all versions #### dependencies A list of dependencies. ```yaml dependencies: | required-dependency | depends | * required-dependency | depends required-dependency optional-dependency | recommends | 0.1.0 suggested-dependency | suggests | 0.2.0 included-dependency | includes | 0.3.0 conflicting-dependency | conflicts | * incompatible-dependency | breaks | * ``` As you can see, each dependency should be written on a new line using the following format - `{id} | {kind=depends} | {version=*}`. Available dependency kinds: - `depends` - for dependencies required to run. Without them a game will crash. - `recommends` - for dependencies not required to run. Without them a game will log a warning. - `suggests` - for dependencies not required to run. Can be used as a kind of metadata. - `includes` - for dependencies embedded into the mod. Can be used as a kind of metadata. - `conflicts` - for mods whose together with yours cause some kind of bugs, etc. With them a game will log a warning. - `breaks` - for mods whose together with yours might cause a game crash. With them a game will crash.

Default value is `fail`. ```yaml fail-mode: fail ``` Available values: - `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
