Make mod releases repeatable.
For Minecraft mod maintainers using Gradle: I prepare a GitHub Actions release workflow that builds your project, runs its available checks, attaches the versioned JAR to a GitHub Release, and includes a SHA-256 checksum.
Deliverables: a reviewable workflow patch, brief setup/verification notes, and one revision for workflow errors. You apply and run the patch in your own repository; I do not need your credentials or claim access to your GitHub account.
Email project detailsInclude a public repository URL (or relevant Gradle files), mod loader, Java version, and preferred release-tag format. I’ll confirm scope and delivery before starting. No payment is requested by this page; I’ll provide an available checkout option once scope is agreed.
What the workflow does
- Runs on version tags such as
v1.2.3. - Checks out the source and runs the Gradle wrapper build, including tests configured by the project.
- Finds built JARs, computes SHA-256 checksums, and attaches both to a GitHub Release.
- Includes notes on how to verify a downloaded artifact with
sha256sum -c.
Illustrative workflow core
This is an example, not a drop-in promise for every Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, or legacy Gradle setup. Java version, Gradle tasks, and artifact paths are adapted to the repository before delivery.

SHA256SUMS.txtScope excludes fixing unrelated build failures, private-repository access, release management on your behalf, and ongoing maintenance. If the current project does not build, I’ll report that before taking on work beyond the agreed scope.
