Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am not sure where in the mod files it is declared, but your mod is showing up as Sodium on the mod management page of modpack launchers. Because of this, when people come seeking assistance for issues, and we tell them it is because of Halogen (IE they cannot use optifine and do not understand why) they say but Halogen is not installed. We then have to inform them that the mod is named Halogen, but for some reason the mod launcher (Curseforge, AT Launcher, MultiMC, and GD Launcher) reports it as Sodium. Additionally, the name of your mod is Halogen, however you named the file itself sodium, which further contributes to the confusion.

Describe the solution you'd like If possible, within the mod's meta data have it set so that when the modlauncher reads the mod information, it correctly displays the name of the mod.

Describe alternatives you've considered Change the name of the actual file to reflect the true name of the mod. Having the mod named Halogen, but the jar file named Sodium leads to confusion for players looking for help from modpack developers.

If you prefer to keep the file name Sodium Forge (or Sodium Reforged as it appears in MultiMC) please consider changing the name of the mod on Curseforge to reflect that instead.
