i just spent two f*cking hours trying to find out why my mod wasnt loading in neoforge

So get this: In NeoForge 20.4 and earlier (which maps to MC version 1.20.4 and prior, I’m on MC 1.20.4), the metadata file should be under META-INF/mods.toml.

Exactly ONE version later (NeoForge 20.5+, aka MC 1.20.5+), that changed to META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml. Of course, my build toolchain was generating neoforge.mods.toml and NeoForge wasn’t recognizing that, it wanted mods.toml.
