[Likely Unfixable] Issues with Architectury Loom

[RedstoneWizard08]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When trying to use Veil in a Fabric/NeoForge multiplatform project (1.21.1) with Architectury Loom, it fails to build because Veil uses Fabric Loom 1.8-SNAPSHOT for the 1.21.1 builds, whereas Architectury Loom v1.8-SNAPSHOT doesn't exist, and it fails with:

> Failed to setup Minecraft, java.lang.IllegalStateException: Mod was built with a newer version of Loom (1.8.9), you are using Loom (1.7.414)

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if Veil could roll back Loom to 1.7-SNAPSHOT.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A (Well I could build it myself but that would be less convenient and I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one with this issue.)

Additional context

Using Veil 1.0.0.28 for Minecraft 1.21.1 and Architectury Loom 1.7-SNAPSHOT.

While there is an exp/1.8 branch on the Architectury Loom GitHub, it is currently not on their maven (and it doesn't even look like it works, CI is failing), and therefore basically unusable.

[RedstoneWizard08]

I understand that Sodium (I haven't looked at Iris) is using Loom 1.8 which makes this difficult, and I would love to see a permanent solution in the future, which will likely be whenever Architectury Loom 1.8 comes out.

(I hit shift while I was trying to make a new line, bruh.)

For now, I'll just try to set the ignoreDependencyLoomVersionValidation property to true (if I can figure out how).

Edit: I figured out how.
For anyone who encounters the same issue:

# in gradle.properties
loom.ignoreDependencyLoomVersionValidation=true

It seems 1.8 release was skipped? But there is architectury loom 1.9 now, so this probably can be closed as solved.

I have had this issue before. ~~There is a flag to override the version check. ~~ (I just realised this post is 6 months old and you already fogured that out) However, I don't recommend using veil with arch at all. Preferably use multiloader if possible, as some veil features do not work with arch anyways.
