ModManager Rewrite

[DeathsGun]

ModManager's current situation

ModManager currently has three branches for MC version 1.16.5, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2 these branches need to be kept synchronized for every bug fix, translation change and feature.

The "old/current" updating process works as follows:

1. Get a list of all mods loaded by Fabric
   1. Sort out all mods which are jar in jar or not in the mods directory
   2. Check if mod has disabled update checks
2. Get the Modrinth Id of the mod
   1. If the id is provided in the fabric.mod.json use that
   2. If no id was provided try the fabric mod id as Modrinth slug and use that if successful
   3. If that wasn't successful try searching for the mod name and use that one
3. Get all versions of that mod and compare them using SemVer
   1. If SemVer fails compare return latest released version
4. Get the SHA hash of the jar file and compare it to the file Modrinth provided.
   1. If the hashes don't match -> Update found
   2. otherwise -> No update found

ModManager rewrite

• Extract ModManager's version independent core functionalities as an own mod
• Implement the version specific stuff in a branch divided mod
• Use Modrinth's V2 API
• Use Modrinth's Hash Route
• Extract the language files into an own repo (maybe even an own mod)

Not necessarily a problem, but most of the time Mod Manager fails to update. I end up going to update it myself, only to find that I either had the latest version or that it downloaded for Forge by mistake.

ModManager should be reliable and not confuse the user about the possibility of some update that doesn't even exist.

I just updated all of my mods, so I cannot demonstrate the issue right now, but it would simply throw an error on screen. When I check my instance, it downloads a mod that isn't recognized by the Fabric profiles on MultiMC and deletes the old mod.

About #152, it appears to be specific mods, with the Fabric API being the most egregious offender,
