Version information

mc1.18.1-0.4.0-alpha6

Expected Behavior

sodium-fabric should be available to developers via JitPack.

Actual Behavior

sodium-fabric is currently unavailable on JitPack due to build failures caused by an outdated Java version (8).
I've created an issue report on the JitPack repo jitpack/jitpack.io#4991 (comment).

Reproduction Steps

Search sodium-fabric on JitPack and check out the build log for the latest available tag (https://jitpack.io/com/github/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/mc1.18.1-0.4.0-alpha6/build.log).
Assumedly this causes sodium-fabric to be unavailable as a Fabric mod dependency.

An alternative option is using Modrinth Maven.

We don't support using JitPack, and will probably remove the manifest file from our repository soon. It offers a very poor experience for developers and often messes Gradle up pretty badly. I also don't feel like keeping a bunch of workarounds in the repository to keep it working.

If you need to include a release version of Sodium in your project dependencies, use the Modrinth Maven instead as FlashyReese linked above, as it's much more straightforward.

Otherwise, if you need a specific revision, try using Git submodules to check out the specific version of Sodium next to your project, and then Gradle Composite Builds to include it in the dependency tree as an independent build. This will almost always offer a less buggy experience.
