[FEAT] Support uploading Hytale Plugins

[hypherionmc]

Since Hytale will allow developing server mods (or plugins as they are called) in java, it would be nice to support uploading Hytale plugins using the plugin.

At this point, it's unknown if this will be possible or feasible, but opening this as a possible implementation.

CurseForge

• Check if any upload endpoints are available
• Update CurseUpload4j to support such endpoints if available
• Adjust game version fetching/handling to support Hytale versioning
  NOTE: Upload endpoint exists, but game version fetching does not. There is an alternative one we can use, but it requires a different API key. We could make a wrapper for this so users don't need their own separate API key
• Remove the need to specify loaders when the project is a Hytale mod

---

Modrinth

Minecraft only at this moment. No support will be added from our side, unless they implement it.

EDIT: It's confirmed. Modrinth will NOT be supporting Hytale anytime soon. Source

---

GitHub

Not a lot of changes needed. The current implementation should handle it just fine.

• Test if Hytale plugins can be uploaded to GitHub releases without any changes

---

NightBloom

We currently only support Minecraft mods on NightBloom. Plans are in place to add support for more games very soon

• Adjust game version fetching/handling to support Hytale versioning
• Remove the need to specify loaders when the project is a Hytale mod

---

Modtale

• Build API wrapper
• Implement Publishing Task
• Check what Metadata is required and missing from the current implementations

Awesome feature, would really love it!
What about Modtale? They provide a well-documented API.

[Antikyth]

Seconding Modtale support. I think there are many of us who would like to use Modtale as the primary platform for our mods.

I added Modtale to the TODO list.

Will probably start with that one first, since most people seem to be leaning towards that.

I still need confirmation from CurseForge on what needs to be done to support Hytale, so might as well start implementing stuff in stages so it can go through testing

Just for you guys that actually use Modtale (I don't have anything to publish yet, so can't do tests myself), what format do their changelogs use?

Is it Markdown, HTML or raw string (meaning no formatting supported)?

And then the version numbers, is it strictly just 0.0.0 or do they allow stuff like 0.0.0+alpha etc?

The API docs talk about the versioning, but not the changelog format

It's in string per docs but markdown seems to be working fine for me as that's what I use here: https://github.com/AzureDoom/LevelingCore/blob/main/build.gradle#L230-L231 and it's rendering out correctly

Per Ryan from the CurseForge team when I had poked them as I been wanting to get a publishing task up myself but haven't yet:

you have to use the legacy endpoint as hytale.curseforge.com is still not working.

[hypherionmc]

Thanks for that 🥳

I got confirmation from Heaser as well just a couple of minutes after posting the comment about Curse.

I just have one endpoint used in the plugin that I need to change (not really THAT bad, but just to future proof when Hytale does have more versions than just EA) for full CF support

So I'll be able to do Modtale and CurseForge at the same time
