Pack format ranged version numbers

In the pack.mcmeta file there is the pack_format line with a number that states which set of versions this resource was made for
The problem is that resource packs can work across multiple versions but the creator is only allowed to remove the Incompatible error from one set of versions

The request is to change the line to allow multiple pack format numbers or multiple direct version numbers
Or at the very least, allow a pack format of -1 to bypass the check altogether

"pack_format": 6,
"pack_format": "3, 4, 5, 6",
"pack_format": "1.12.X, 1.13.X, 1.14.X, 1.15.X, 1.16.X",

    i agree, since my resource pack works on all versions after 1.8. it would be super useful to just type in 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9; since it works on 1.9-1.19 (as of the wild update)

    It was added!
    23w31a:
    Pack metadata now includes an optional field supported_formats which describes a range for pack formats that this pack supports. Packs can now contain overlay directories ("overlays").

    Example:
    "supported_formats": {"min_inclusive": 16, "max_inclusive": 24}
