wait, it wasn't doing this before !?

help, HELP!!!!!

seems to be an issue with your anti virus software. Does it do this when downloaded from curseforge or modrinth?

yes, it did from both of those sites.

very odd, but it's certainly a false flag. the 2.5.6 update was created by running shadowJar in the mod's build.gradle. The only new file this update introduced was just a new mixin to streamline surfaceRule merging, so that's unlikely to be the cause of this. I'll write this off as just something in common antivirus likely flagging the specified jar name and version as a virus for some unknown reason, but if it persists beyond this version then we certainly will have a problem. For now, none of my mods require 2.5.6, so you can either use it and enjoy the new bugfixes or continue using 2.5.4.
