Post to CurseForge or Modrinth?

Would it be possible to upload this mod to CurseForge or Modrinth?

Is there some kind of benefits from doing that? Seems like just extra work

There would be some benefits actually, especially for the end user.

For the mod creator, most likely more people would download the mod and you'd get higher user counts due to the mod being easier to find on these popular websites. Most people don't browse GitHub alone for mods, relying on these big mod sites to find mods. I didn't even know this mod existed until someone brought it to my attention. I think Modrinth can even be integrated into github for easy managing, but not 100% sure, not a mod creator.

As for the end users, It would 1) be easier to find the mod if they didn't know about it and 2) the install process could be automated with the use of mod managers. People just find the mod, select it, and install. They even keep the mods updated for the correct versions of minecraft.

Okay, haven't used mod managers myself but that is a good point. I should look into it next time I do a release

Hey! You've posted a few releases but still haven't seen anything on any other websites. Still think you could do this? Maybe I could help out and keep a Modrinth page updated for you if you're interested?

Still planning on putting it on curseforge, but feel free to create a Modrinth for the project since I don't see myself updating the mod in more websites than github and curseforge.

I appreciate you letting me to do that. Should be available as soon as it's approved. https://modrinth.com/mod/litematica-printer

If you're interested, you can sign in via GitHub and I can set you as the developer, but that's up to you. Thank you for letting me, and thank you for dealing with me :P
