stray \n somewhere in quilt.mod.json

[Merith-TK]

I was making a tool that automatically parses mod.json in jars to automatically remove duplicates, and I ran into an wierd issue decoding the json

$ go run .
2023/04/16 17:05:36 ./mods/midnightlib-quilt-1.3.0.jar
2023/04/16 17:05:36 [DECODE QUILT MOD] invalid character '\n' in string literal

I was able to manually fix it by removing all \n characters in the json and reformatting, figured I would inform you

found it ripped straight from the mod.json

manually patching mod json to have an proper \n there fixes it (as shown by here, filename is only printed if there is an error decoding json)

How would I insert a proper \n character?

Sorry I didnt reply here but it looks like the compiler is incorrectly converting the escaped \n into a literal, for some reason, will see if I still have my tool for it so you can take a look at how I discovered this
