[Request] Modrinth page for MapFrontiers does not mention dependencies.

As the title says, there is no mention of any non-obvious dependencies on the modrinth page. If you are just downloading the mod from there and not using the Modrinth launcher you won't find out that the Forge Config API Port is required until attempting to launch the game, where it will error-out and you'll have to Google it or go to the CurseForge page to find the proper dependency mods.
A Modrinth page for each one does exist, so if a simple link mentioning each dependency could be added to the mod's Description page it would be appreciated:
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/journeymap (Required, though that is obvious)
https://modrinth.com/mod/forge-config-api-port/versions (Required, not obvious)
https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu (Optional)
Thank you for looking into this. :)
Dependencies are mentioned within each version, both in the changelog and in the Modrinth "dependencies" section (with direct links to the minimum required version).

Thanks for the reply. I see them there now, but I think the issue is that there are 3-4 ways to download the mod on Modrinth without ever going into those pages. This is mainly a Modrinth UI issue, since CurseForge has a dedicated section for these accessible right from the main mod page (labeled Relations). Since dependencies vary from version to version, it makes sense to have the specifics listed per-download as you have it now, but I think a simple note on the description page about the Fabric version requiring the Forge API Port would be helpful, with a note or link to check the download\changelog page for version details.
I will admit, I missed the list on the Changelog page (I did not go to that page before downloading the mod). It is very subtle and easy to miss, but that is on me. Thanks for the reminder that they are listed there too. :)
