Environment metadata cannot be set on multiplatform uni-jars #5199
Description
Please confirm the following.
- I checked the existing issues for duplicate problems
- I have tried resolving the issue using the support portal
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Chrome (including Arc, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi)
Describe the bug
You cannot select an environment type if the project you are uploading contains multiple modding platforms (presumably PaperMC and Sponge hide the option?). This wouldn't inherently be an issue, but the AutoMod has flagged my mod as incomplete and auto rejected it with something I can't fix. Here is my mod and here is a screenshot of the metadata editor:
https://modrinth.com/plugin/fair-fight
Steps to reproduce
- Upload a jar and label it as Fabric and Sponge/PaperMC
- Since Sponge/PaperMC is always server-side, it seems that Modrinth just assumes that no other option is selected and doesn't allow me to choose an environment
- This makes AutoMod think that there is none selected and rejects the mod
Expected behavior
The environment option is either still selectable (preferable) or defaulted to server-side for all loaders if paired with one that forces server-side modding.
Additional context
The automatic metadata system seems to be extremely fragile with projects such as mine. I think the automatic detection should either be reworked to fix some issues with uni-jars, just disabled if more than one loader is present, or preferably allow me to override options like the environment even if it seems impossible on some loaders (Ex: client & server even if PaperMC is selected)
