I'm pretty sure its probably nothing to worry about or its probably been resolved already but every time i run get these warnings in the log window

"Mod ironchest is missing the required element 'version' and a version.properties file could not be found. Falling back to metadata version 1.12.2-7.0.56.840"

It intrigued me so I went digging, i extracted the ironchest.jar file to find this

it clearly lists the version.properties right there I even opened the file and it has all of the correct documentation

The other mods don't seem to have this version.properties though

What I want explained though is as to why the iron chest mod is giving this warning when version.properties exists

its forge giving the warning, the file being setup this way instead of using metadata is an artifact of how CPW setup gradle initially, we will change this for 1.13
