"Directory 'caches\neoformruntime\assets' does not exist"

This build error shows up every time i run the client. I deleted the "caches" folder and soon after deleted the entire "gradle" folder but none of that worked. I tried building the workspace again and regenerating the code as well, but it still didn't solve my problem.

From my logic it looks like a folder is missing, i checked the caches folder, where said directory would be, and it wasn't there.

Here's the crash log: https://pastebin.com/QWkVqcFX

Yes, I did. I followed the steps very carefully to avoid making mistakes. This didn't solve much, as the error still appeared.

But that's the missing directory, I can't delete it. The error just showed up because of the absense of this directory.

I have exactly the same problem.I tried to create this missing folder manually and minecraft started, but the menu background was gray and missing all the sounds in the game.I tried exporting the mod, and outside of mcreator everything works fine

This is problem with gradle not being able to write there. This is either caused by antivirus, firewall, file system permissions or something else.

If you are not sure what is preventing MCreator from operating on your device, I may recommend trying on some other device

Looks like multiple people are having the same issue as what I posted in the issues space.  I've turned off Defender Firewall and Antivirus and it still does not download the .mcreator/gradle/caches/neoformruntime/ folder.  All the other folders are present (8.11.1, build-cache-1, jars-9, journal-1 and modules-2) so it isn't an issue with access to writing to the folder.

I had this same error, and I managed to fix it by finding the missing folder in my recycling bin from when I last deleted the caches, and just put it back in the current caches folder.

Obviously there's still the issue of mcreator not generating the folder for some reason, but if you haven't emptied your recycling bin this'll work.
