I am currently trying to make a mod with a database using SnakeYAML. I am currently using VSCODE, Minecraft forge version 1.19, and Forge Gradle. I was previously trying to use SQLite, but had the same error so I switched to Snake. I have experience with Java, but no experience with SnakeYAML or Minecraft modding so let me know if I'm missing something. I have cleaned and rebuilt multiple times. I have also assured that SnakeYAML is being built into the .jar, which it is (It is listed as a dependency for the jar when built.) Exception message: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.yaml.snakeyaml.DumperOptions DatabaseManager (where I intialize the SnakeYAML class): package me.cadenwolfdog.furclasses.Data; import me.cadenwolfdog.furclasses.PlayerClass; import org.yaml.snakeyaml.DumperOptions; import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import java.util.UUID; public class DatabaseManager { private static final File configFile = new File("mods/FurClasses/players.yaml"); private static final DumperOptions options = new DumperOptions(); private static final Yaml yaml = new Yaml(options); private static final Map<UUID, PlayerClass> playerData = new HashMap<>(); public static void initializeDatabase() { configFile.getParentFile().mkdirs(); if (!configFile.exists()) { try { configFile.createNewFile(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } public static void setPlayerClass(UUID playerUUID, PlayerClass playerClass) { playerData.put(playerUUID, playerClass); try (FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(configFile)) { yaml.dump(playerData, writer); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static PlayerClass getPlayerClass(UUID playerUUID) { return playerData.get(playerUUID); } } The common set up where I am running the database initialization: private void commonSetup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { // Some common setup code LOGGER.info("HELLO FROM COMMON SETUP"); try{ DatabaseManager.initializeDatabase(); }catch (Exception e){ LOGGER.info("EXCEPTION MADE: " + e.toString()); } finally { LOGGER.info("Database initialization successful."); } }
