26.2 Release Pipeline

The compatibility pass should move through the same checklist for every supported mod.

1

Port

Update project code, mappings, dependencies, recipes, tags, assets, and loader entrypoints for Minecraft 26.2.

2

Build

Produce Fabric and NeoForge builds where supported, then confirm the output files are named clearly.

3

Test

Verify singleplayer, server behavior, loader compatibility, recipes, loot, blocks, items, and known edge cases.

4

Publish

Upload files to Modrinth, update changelogs, add screenshots, and sync wiki download data.

Release Notes Queue

Use this space for version targets, compatibility checks, and public release notes before publishing.

Current Scope

All Ion Forge mods except HatchWatch are being worked toward Minecraft 26.2 compatibility and Fabric plus NeoForge support.

Wiki Updates

Once releases are ready, the wiki should update project pages, supported loader badges, install guidance, and download links.

Changelogs

Each project should get a short release note covering Minecraft version, loader support, bug fixes, and breaking changes.

Documentation Tasks

  • Add Fabric install guide.
  • Add NeoForge install guide.
  • Add modpack install and update guide.
  • Add compatibility notes for projects with known conflicts.
  • Add screenshots, GIFs, or short clips to each project page.

Community Tasks

  • Keep Discord support and suggestion paths visible.
  • Add known issues and active workaround notes.
  • Track feature ideas that may become future projects.
  • Update CurseForge links when projects are available there.
  • Prepare upgrade notes for Minecraft version jumps.

Future Ideas

These are longer-term improvements that can move into the active board when they become real work.

Ion API Docs

Public examples, integration notes, and loader-specific setup guidance.

Known Issues

A simple tracker for active bugs, workarounds, and fixed-in-next-release notes.

Coming Soon Cards

Preview upcoming projects or major updates once they are ready to tease.
