Describe the bug

My mod Block Helper was a regular "mod" entry once - this can also be seen through the WaybackMachine (entries with /mod/ in the URL existed until June 2025):
https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/https://modrinth.com/mod/block-helper
However, today, I noticed that my mod is now labeled a "plugin" on my projects page:

This is also reflected in the new URL:
https://modrinth.com/plugin/block-helper

Steps to reproduce

I don't know 100% what caused this change, but I suspect that the plugin/mod status is derived from the platforms a mod is compatible with.

Expected behavior

The mod should still be identified as a "mod", not a "plugin"

Additional context

For Block Helper, I recently started also specifying "Bukkit" since most versions are in fact compatible with hybrid "Bukkit-Forge environments" such as MCPC+ and Cauldron (and even krnlyng's Bukkit-ML/Forge compatibility layer).
I want to specifically indicate my mod as compatible because many mods are NOT compatible with such environments whereas my mod pays extra attention to such environments and/or needs extra versions to work in such environments that are available as "additional files".
