curse project unable to find candidate

[thisischrys]

project matches the last part of the url which I think is right?

( https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/mo-bends )
<Curse project="mo-bends" type="RELEASE" autoupgrade="true"/>
Unable to find candidate for curse:mo-bends after checking 18 files
Unable to fetch MD5 for curse:mo-bends with no URL

( https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/betterfps )
<Curse project="betterfps" type="RELEASE" autoupgrade="true"/>
Unable to find candidate for curse:betterfps after checking 22 files
Unable to fetch MD5 for curse:betterfps with no URL

Can you share the whole pack xml? It looks like you've got MC version mismatches or similar. For example, in the MC1.12 section of the optionals pack, I specify:

<Module name="BetterFPS [beta]" id="betterfps" depends="" side="CLIENT">
	<Curse project="betterfps" file="2483393"/>
	<Required isDefault="true">false</Required>
	<ModType>Regular</ModType>
	<MD5>d36f4d3c0f96e99a9a1ad2e8eeda1fc4</MD5>
	<Meta>
		<description>BetterFps is a Minecraft mod that add a few performance improvements, trying to be compatible with other mods.</description>
		<version>1.4.8</version>
		<authors>Guichaguri</authors>
	</Meta>
</Module>

But the discovery portion should still work with the file id and md5 removed.

I'm trying to get all clientmods to autoupdate where possible since that should be harmless

This file doesn't include the syntax you tried with those two mods ;)

But I think I see your problem. You're likely requesting a release build. There isn't a release build of BetterFPS or Mo'Bends for MC1.12.

Oops, I just undid it and saved it literally right before I copy pasted it here.
Tried it with beta, that was indeed the problem

I will update the messaging in this situation to make the solution more obvious.
