Most of the values are automatically resolved (read further for more info). Therefore, here's all you really need to publish your mod:

          # your assets to Modrinth
          modrinth-id: AANobbMI

files: build/libs/*.jar

A glob of the primary files to upload. Default value is build/libs/!(*-@(dev|sources)).jar.

files-primary: build/libs/!(*-@(dev|sources)).jar

A glob of the secondary files to upload. Default value is build/libs/*-@(dev|sources).jar.

files-secondary: build/libs/*-@(dev|sources).jar

The name of the version. If no value is provided, a title of the release that triggered the action will be used. If you want Modrinth and CurseForge to determine the version name themselves, omit the field with an empty string ("").

name: Sodium 0.3.2 for Minecraft 1.17.1

The version number. If no value is provided, a tag of the release that triggered the action is used.

version: mc1.17.1-0.3.2

The type of the release. If no value is provided, it will be parsed from the version value (e.g., 0.40.0+1.17-alpha results in alpha).

version-type: release

The changelog for this version. If no value is provided, a body of the release that triggered the action will be used.

changelog: This release fixes a few more issues in Sodium 0.3 for Minecraft 1.17.1.

loaders: |
  fabric
  forge

A list of supported Minecraft versions. If no value is provided, the minimum supported version will be retrieved from the configuration file of your mod, if any, otherwise it will be parsed from the version value (e.g., 0.40.0+1.17 results in 1.17), and then it will be expanded using the specified version-resolver.

game-versions: |
  1.16.5
  1.17
  1.17.1
  21w37a

Determines the way automatic game-versions resolvement works. Default value is releasesIfAny.

version-resolver: latest

Available values:

• exact - exact game version (1.16 -> 1.16)
• latest - the latest release of the given minor (1.16 -> 1.16.5)
• all - all versions of the given minor starting with the specified build (1.16.5 -> [20w45a, 20w46a, 20w48a, 20w49a, 20w51a, 1.16.5-rc1, 1.16.5])
• releases - all releases of the given minor starting with the specified build (1.16.3 -> [1.16.3, 1.16.4, 1.16.5])
• releasesIfAny - all releases of the given minor starting with the specified build, if any; otherwise, all versions

A list of dependencies.

dependencies: |
  required-dependency | depends | *
  required-dependency | depends
  required-dependency
  optional-dependency | recommends | 0.1.0
  suggested-dependency | suggests | 0.2.0
  included-dependency | includes | 0.3.0
  conflicting-dependency | conflicts | *
  incompatible-dependency | breaks | *

As you can see, each dependency should be written on a new line using the following format - {id} | {kind=depends} | {version=*}.

Available dependency kinds:

• depends - for dependencies required to run. Without them a game will crash.
• recommends - for dependencies not required to run. Without them a game will log a warning.
• suggests - for dependencies not required to run. Can be used as a kind of metadata.
• includes - for dependencies embedded into the mod. Can be used as a kind of metadata.
• conflicts - for mods whose together with yours cause some kind of bugs, etc. With them a game will log a warning.
• breaks - for mods whose together with yours might cause a game crash. With them a game will crash.

Can be automatically retrieved from the config file of your mod:

• fabric.mod.json (Fabric)
