Our verdict on CurseForgeGradle
CurseForgeGradle is an open-source Gradle plugin for developers publishing Minecraft mods and other CurseForge projects. It is aimed at teams and individual developers who want release tasks to handle CurseForge uploads from a build process, rather than managing each project manually. The plugin can publish build artifacts to multiple CurseForge projects and supports ForgeGradle, Fabric Loom, Quilt Loom, and NeoForge Gradle integrations.
Its strongest area is release metadata and file management. Configurable Gradle tasks can set changelogs, release types, and display names while adding game-version, mod-loader, environment, and Java-version metadata. CurseForgeGradle also defines required, optional, embedded, incompatible, and tool relationships, and supports additional or child files. Automatic detection covers Minecraft game versions and Forge, Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge integrations; the listed supported loaders also include Rift.
The main boundary is scope: CurseForgeGradle automates publishing, not the core development of a Minecraft mod. It is also a developer tool that operates through an API, so it fits projects already organized around Gradle and one of its compatible mod toolchains. Choose it when CurseForge release automation, structured metadata, dependency relationships, and multi-project uploads are priorities. Developers seeking an authoring environment, a hosted release dashboard, or a broader build system should look for a tool that covers those functions directly.
