Topic category: Help with MCreator software
My mod I've been working on was created in 1.16.5, and I had installed the APIs Reborn plugin to help with development. One of the plugins it came bundled with was GeckoLib, and it seems to have not properly transferred all its files after I reinstalled MCreator with the 2021.3 update to work with 1.17. This has caused an error that is preventing my gradle from being properly started up when I open my workspace. I was going to attempt a reinstallation of the plugin, but I'm worried that removing it will cause even more issues for my workspace files. I went ahead and copied the error I've been receiving (this is not the whole thing, as it's far too many lines long for me to put in this post)

The only things I changed were the 100 or so lines of all the file paths the software searched through and removing my name. Other than that, this is the exact text I keep getting as an error. If anyone understands what is going on here (my ooga booga monkey brain sure can't), I would appreciate some help.
UPDATE:
I completely wiped everything that had to do with the plugin from MCreator and deleted the files for each mod element that required it, which fixed the build error. I'm obviously a bit upset that I had to delete some parts of my mod in order for the workspace even open, but I can try to recreate them without the plugin. They were all mobs that used Geckolib, which isn't even necessary now that Blockbench has the new Entity Wizard.
I had the same error, but i don't have any idea how to solve it!
