Help - Error attempting to run mod

Topic category: Troubleshooting, bugs, and solutions

Please help, I just got and set up Mcreator. First I created a new mod and added a new ore to the game. I went to test it out but it would not work, saying there were mod elements that didnt compile or something, but the list of elements was blank. I looked around this forum and tried to solve the solution. I used the method of deleting my gradle folder and setting up a new mod. However, this new mod did not run either. I am using the up to date version of the app on macOS 10.11.6, if that is relevant. I have no idea what could be causing this issue

my error message looks like this:

> Task :compileJava FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I am not sure what to do to fix it and could not find any other solutions on the forum. If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, please help me out

In most cases all Gradle errors are caused by one of these:

Firewall or antivirus blocking MCreator

Slow internet connection

Your ISP blocking certain websites

Too slow VPN or VPN with blocked domains that MCreator needs to access

Any other software blocking access to download repository

The most common errors from Gradle are caused by firewalls or antivirus software. If you have any issues, we recommend you to temporarily turn off this software and try again. If this works, add MCreator as an exception to your firewall or antivirus or reconfigure the software properly to not block programs such as MCreator.

It can also happen that the servers from which Gradle downloads files (Minecraft servers, Minecraft Forge repo, Maven repository) are down and you might just need to try again later in such cases.
