ok so ever since 2020.3 i cannot use mcreator whenever i start it up the gradle fails then i try it again it works but then when i make something test it with the mcreator testing thing it says gradle failed ive reinstalled, deleted old versions but nothing and if i install the zip folder for mcreator then whenever i start the application it deletes so i can only go on it once but even then it says gradle failed i love mcreator but bugs like this just makes me annoyed especially since they are so big.

In some cases, Gradle caches that make sure the build process does not take too long can get corrupted. In such a case, go to:

<your user home folder>/.mcreator/gradle

In this folder, there is a folder called caches. Delete this folder and open MCreator again. Next build will take a bit longer as caches need to be rebuilt. If you can not delete all files in this folder (which is necessary), reboot the computer first to remove any potential file locks.

If this is not enough to make things work, delete the entire gradle folder, not just caches, and try again.

If even this fails, try to delete the entire <your user home folder>/.mcreator/gradle folder, create a new workspace with the same generator version as the version of the workspace failing, after the setup of this new workspace is done, open your current workspace, and click Build & run -> Build workspace, then Build & run -> Reload gradle project and then Build & run -> Regenerate code and build.
