Topic category: Help with MCreator software
Greetings to all. Recently, there was an error with Gradle during the launch of the workspace in MCreator. Everything worked well at first, but after I decided to upgrade MCreator to EAP version 2026.1.04117, it all started. No matter how much I tried, the error remained. I've tried everything. Reinstall completely, swap the disk, swap the versions (I tried EAP 2026.1.04117, 2025.3 and 2025.1), I tried to change the JDK. It doesn't work with a VPN anyway. No new workspace is being created either. At the same time, everything works fine on the other computer, even without a VPN. I do not know how to fix this, and I would be very glad to hear a way to fix the error. Link to the error: https://pastebin.com/Gn0rdYyq
It should normally be in the user folder .gradle, after I completely deleted it to completely clear the data, it is no longer being created.
Something is preventing the downloading of the files. What country are you from?
Incorrect, it is ./mcreator/gradle
Please, read https://mcreator.net/wiki/gradle-setup-errors
The problem is that I've been studying the material from that link, but I haven't found anything. I'm from Russia. At first, I thought they were blocking it, but the funny thing is that it works perfectly on another device.
There is also no Gradle folder in ./mcreator. It doesn't seem to have even started processing.

I was looking in the wrong folder, but Gradle is there.
As far as I know, your country blocks certain URLs that are essential for Gradle operation
I've noticed this for a long time. The interesting thing is that it works perfectly on other devices.
I managed to fix it! I'll write a short guide on how to fix the Gradle issue in MCreator.
(This method works in Russia and other countries where some services may be restricted.)
The problem is that Java sometimes uses a different network connection, so even if your VPN is enabled you may still get the Gradle download errors. This method redirects Gradle to the proxy server created by your VPN.
First, you need a VPN that supports a SOCKS proxy server. This is required so Gradle can download the dependency files. If your VPN supports this, continue with the steps below.
C:\Users\<YOU>\.mcreator\gradle(or wherever your MCreator Gradle folder is located).
Replace
PORTwith the port of your VPN's SOCKS proxy server.(You can find this information in your VPN settings.)
Save the file and launch the project again.
After doing this, Gradle should start working normally.
Glad to hear you found a solution! :)
