• java version inference from minecraft version
• loom-based loader handlers (fabric, ornithe, babric)
• neoforge handler via moddevgradle
• common subproject support (vanilla minecraft classpath, no loader api)
• mod metadata extension (modInfo) on the root project
• comment-based source preprocessor for version-specific code blocks
  • version predicate evaluation (e.g. ≥, =, ≤) against the active minecraft version
  • editor-friendly syntax that keeps files valid java/kotlin regardless of active version
• modrinth publishing
• gradle plugin portal publication
