P1 Badge Use semantic version ordering for latest lookup

jq '.versions | keys | last' chooses the lexicographically largest key, not the newest Minecraft version; with version strings this can select older releases (for example 1.9.x compares greater than 1.21.x as plain text). In environments where Paper exposes multiple historical versions, this will download and run an outdated server instead of the latest stable release, so the version selection needs semantic ordering (or API-provided ordering) rather than string-key ordering.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

echo "Latest Minecraft version: ${LATEST_VERSION}"

BUILDS_JSON=$(curl -fsSL -H "User-Agent: ${USER_AGENT}" "${FILL_API}/versions/${LATEST_VERSION}/builds")
