Building my own pre-release version

My buddy and I have been playing the 1.21.5-pre2 pre-release together on LAN- but I just watched the mutliplayer update video and I really want to give it a go. Distant horizons is built to fail if you attempt to boot it up without matching the build versions to your minecraft version, so it's not as simple as seeing if it will run on the pre release. I need to make my own build and attempt to run that instead. If I'm understanding the brief look I took at the repo, I need to update the mc version in gradle.properties, then create a matching file under versionProperties folder, and update my fabric/minecraft/sodium/iris/fabricApi versions there. Is there anything else I should change before attempting to build? I'm well aware it might not run at all, just want to give it a go.

porting to a new mc version is not as easy as changing the required version from 1.21.4 to 1.21.5 pre release x. if that is your expectation, i wouldnt give you much hope. i myself dont know what else you need to edit
