Mod Elements Don't Compile Properly

Status
Can not reproduce
Issue description

GUI will give an error message. I'm following a tutorial from the Pylo YouTube channel, and have checked for mistakes multiple times.

I have attached the compile log given with this error message.

Issue comments

I have tested and variables in 1.9.0 indeed work. You did not give any details on how you accessed this variable so I can't really help you much, but the proper way is <VAR:varName> and varName is the name of a global variable.

I am also having a similar problem after updating to the latest version of MCreator 2020.3
