Help me i'm new on MCreator

Hi, I started modding about one week ago. I’m starting with a good first impression since MCreator seems easy to use and I already have some skills in programming.

However, I’m having trouble understanding some features — or rather how they actually work. I started creating an incubator for my pet eggs for my mod, and despite writing a rather laborious piece of code for the incubator’s functionality, I always get the same error when I launch the game :
 

> Task :compileJava FAILED 
Note: SpongePowered MIXIN Annotation Processor Version=0.8.5 
Note: Supported obfuscation types: ObfuscationServiceMCP supports [searge,notch] 
C:\Users\nxbelixm\MCreatorWorkspaces\eggpet\src\main\java\net\mcreator\eggpet\init\EggpetModBlockEntities.java:18: error: cannot find symbol

                                                       ^

BUILD FAILED in 2s

 

I don’t understand why. I did everything properly: I placed the procedure where it’s supposed to run and set up the GUI as well, but the game just never wants to launch…

Please help me, I’m begging you, thx.

What MCreator version do you use?

What generator and any plugins?

If possible, also upload workspace zip to some file sharing service and share the link here
