This PR has set the base archives name to be the name of the published module -- however, you're now publishing the artifact at com.example.examplemod:ExampleMod-1.20.4. By convention, module names are lowercase, so this is not great. The inclusion of the minecraft version in the module name is also not optimal - it means that someone could depend on both ExampleMod-1.20.4 and, say, ExampleMod-1.20.2 and gradle would just pull in both -- whereas publishing every version of a mod under the same module name wouldn't allow this to happen.

The other solution to the latter problem is the use of capabilities but that is way to complicated for the MDK.

Almost every mod file I've ever seen has published using WordCase names.

Yes, and that's fine for CF/MR publishing but a bad pattern for maven publishing (which is all this block is for) because it's the opposite of what is done in the wider gradle and maven world. Let's set a good example instead of propagating a problematic pattern. The use of the MC version in the module name is an even bigger issue, as it can lead to issues during dependency resolution and getting two copies of a module.

Move this above the comment (which is for the publishling block), and add its own comment explaining that this enables the creation of the -sources JAR.

See above: the file name can be this for the local file and that's fine, but for the published module (the bit in the publishing block) it should be a normal, conventional module name -- in this case, probably com.example.examplemod:examplemod. A simple way to do this is to set the rootProject.name in the settings.gradle.
