Hello! Recently CurseForge has decided to enforce its API restrictions where they disallow third parties to download mods unless mod developers opt in, with CurseForge warning them that they will lose precious rewards for third party downloads. This was a very anti-consumer move: CurseForge still haven't launched on Linux yet, some won't use their app due to the fact it comes with Overwolf and requires admin access to install; it also broke some mod packs.

People fed up with CurseForge have decided to switch to other platforms like Modrinth, which recently launched mod packs feature and promises adding monetisation it the future. Modrinth has support for CurseForge mods, but unfortunately, CurseForge is so hostile that they legally threaten people over CDN links, so it wouldn't be a surprise that they also would attempt to threaten Modrinth and force them into removing said support Modrinth removes support for CurseForge mods after receiving a request from them. CurseForge integration has also been removed from MultiMC (in development versions currently) after its developer talked to CurseForge, but it does not work on stable either.

If it would not be too much a hassle for you, and no monetisation is a not a stopper, could you please upload your mod to Modrinth? They got tools like minataur that should ease (?) publishing new versions, it's overall more friendlier user-focused platform, many Fabric modders like it... Thanks for consideration(*^-^*)
