Topic category: Plugins and third-party tools
MCreator Plugin Builder is a program that allows the user to easily create MCreator plugins, only requiring you to know how to code in Java. This concept has been attempted before, but none have so far been as simple to use as this, nor offering as many features.

Cleaning the gradle cache can't hurt.
See https://mcreator.net/wiki/gradle-setup-errors
Ok, Doo89, NerdyPuzzle, Thanks for helping me. I thought MCreator was pretty good at catching gradle cache corruption.
Whoops, spoke too soon. I tried Clearing the gradle caches and the entire gradle folder, Rebuilding The gradle project and the entire MCreator project itself. Soo I have no idea once again. If it will help, here is the Github repository: https://github.com/THG2009/Alpha-APIs
In patchouli for Neoforge you have the letter 's' at the end of the code.
In patchouli and Jade for Neoforge, do not put fg.deobf
And CraftTweaker crashes gradle for Neoforge only.
Test it: https://mega.nz/file/W1dlQZiD#dKobhOTmkOGI6CUsGPaHxMvHugR0mDhom4H3HiG6DcA
Thanks to everyone who helped me port my plugin to NeoForge! You were a big hello!
