Gradle 8.3 Zip Distribution Timeout and File Lock Issue

Error Message:org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.3-bin.zip'. Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Timeout of 120000 reached waiting for exclusive access to file: C:\Users\USER\.mcreator\gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-8.3-bin\dxjbbhstwasg8cb

 

I want to make a spigot plugin but I get an error when creating the project

 

Steps I've Tried:

  • Disabled antivirus and firewall
  • Deleted the Gradle zip file to force re-download
  • Moved MCreator outside of OneDrive
  • Corrected JAVA_HOME and relocated Java installation
  • Manually downloaded the Gradle zip and placed it in the required directory
  • Tried different network connections

Timeout of 120000 reached waiting for exclusive access to file: C:\Users\USER\.mcreator\gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-8.3-bin\dxjbbhstwasg8cn

Something is preventing access to this file.

Keep in mind that 2023.3 is no longer supported too
