Export to zip not available

[DroidCrafter23]

I am wanting to export my mod to a .zip file in IntelliJ version 2024.1 but cannot.

 

I am not sure what to do, the only options available to me are "Files or selection to HTML" and "Project to eclipse."

A possible theory I have is that IntelliJ believes that my mod is a HTML file, though I am not sure whether I could change that or not. There is nothing I have found online about the missing zip option for exporting a file, so I am confused.

I export a backup of my mod every time I add/edit something important, though I don't think I can do this currently.

(I have tried to export as HTML though I did not think it would work).

Try using the build task to compile it into a runnable mod, if that's what you want. 

If you just want to copy the entire mod into a zipped folder, you can do that in your computer's file explorer. If you're on Windows, just go to the directory you're using and zip up the whole folder. Name it whatever you want.
