Because AstralSorcery needs forge 28.2.* (dont know the exact version), it is unreasonable why the mod still accepts even 28.0 (mods.toml) which results in a crash. The log only says NoClassDefFoundError DistExecutor#SafeSupplier, which is no helpfull. So it should be resonable to change the value in the mods.toml to the required forge version to avoid such things.

Right.. Sorry, didn't adjust that yet, will now properly be [31.2,) for a more up-to-date requirement

its also very helpful to extract those values into a property file like example. So you only need to edit variables in one file and dont need to search for them.
You can even use the property inside the mods.toml file mods.toml
