Describe the bug
When trying to include a server launcher jar (by my newly release mrpack4server) for my new modpack (Polymania), but the website is rejecting it.
Steps to reproduce
- Try creating new version/edit existing one.
- Try to add configured mrpack4server jar, like https://files.pb4.eu/polymania/0.1.0/server.jar
- Get rejected
Expected behavior
Ideally the website would allow inclusion of jar like this, which would make it easier for people to host modded servers. Currently it requires hosting the server launcher offsite, which is not ideal
Additional context
No response
According to my knowledge, ‘additional files’ are designed for things like source and documentation artifacts of mods exposed on Modrinth Maven, they're not designed for actual additional files. The interface for should probably be redone instead to be less confusing.
I think in case of a modpack, having an option to add server launcher / installer would still be quite useful, at least until modrinth doesn't have that natively.
