Build Failed, failed for task ':processresources'

I am trying to run my mod, but am getting a message stating that "Build failed with an exception", and that it could not copy the 'mcmod.info' into the required location

Additional info: I am using MCreator version 2020.5 and the 1.12 mods generator plugin (could this be the cause of the problem?)

What I've tried: I've tried the most common and second most common solutions shown here, neither of which have fixed the issue
