Is your suggested feature related to a problem? Please describe.
Users are currently not notified when we publish updates to our projects on Modrinth. This makes it difficult to keep community Discord servers informed without manual announcements.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a new tab in the project settings where maintainers can configure a Discord webhook URL. When a new version is published (including changelogs), or when important project metadata (e.g., description, gallery, status) is updated, Modrinth would automatically send a formatted message to the configured Discord channel.
Security note:
Webhook URLs should be stored encrypted and only visible/editable by project members with the appropriate role (Owner / Admin).
A minimal initial implementation could simply notify on new version releases, with future enhancements covering additional events.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to build an external service that polls the Modrinth API at regular intervals, compares versions, detects changes, and sends webhook messages. However, this approach is inefficient, adds maintenance overhead, and duplicates functionality that Modrinth could natively support.
Additional context
This feature is commonly requested by mod developers and resource pack creators who rely on Discord communities. Native webhook support would improve automation, reduce manual work, and help keep players and contributors up to date.
