Topic category: Help with Minecraft modding (Java Edition)
I'm from China, and I can't create a new Mcreator mod project because the error "createMinecraftArtifacts FAILED" ,and "Connection reset by peer" appeared many times. I read the page "Gradle setup and build errors" on Mcreator.net ,asked AI to give me sone advice ,and tired to rebuild the workspace in many times,but they all didn't work.
Here's the log:

What country are you from?
Also read https://mcreator.net/wiki/gradle-setup-errors
I read this page, and I'm from China. Could you give me some suggestions?
You may need tools to take care of country level blocks
Are there any free and useful tools that can help me to solve this problem? In 2024, when I use Mcreator 2024.3 and 2024.4 with Forge 1.20.1, I didn't meet any network problems. Also, I didn't change my address and the computer that I used in these years.
Modern versions may need different servers that are blocked
May 2026.1 can help me solve this problem?
Gradle is independent of MCreator, so we can't affect what URLs it needs and is independent of MCreator version, just modding API and Minecraft version
OK, thank you.
