How do you setup forge coding environment on Mac for 1.16.5?

So I HAVE to use a Mac, because I have to use it for my schoolwork (so no windows)

If you could, please put it in a video or give me a link to other people's video, or giving directions would work too.

I don't see how being required to use a specific computer for schoolwork means you need to use the same computer for modding,
unless that means your school has modding as part of their curriculum which is usually a bad thing as they basically never stay up to date.

Regardless, the process should be the same for all operating systems as long as you're using an IDE that has decent Gradle integration, just import the MDK as a Gradle project.

Because I can't get it to work because mac uses .sh files to run and i have .bat files so...

when i tried to set the gradle up it said that the command is invalid

What command did you use?
If I recall correctly OSX should use the Unix-like script that has no extension

No it won't, that's not the issue they're having.

Are you trying to execute the gradle tasks through the Terminal? You would first need to install gradle by following the install instructions on Gradle.org. Then, navigate to your project folder and run your desired gradle tasks.

My-Mac:~ user$ cd /Users/user/Documents/eclipse-workspace/forge-1
My-Mac:forge-1 user$ ./gradlew
My-Mac:forge-1 user$ ./gradlew build
My-Mac:forge-1 user$ ./gradlew runClient

It shouldn't be necessary to do this though as all the gradle tasks can be executed through Eclipse (I would recommend you stick with this since it seems you are a beginner). If you have properly imported your project folder as a Gradle Project, all gradle tasks are available in the "Gradle Tasks" tab in your workspace. Use these for when the Getting Started documentation tells you to run those tasks.

This is exactly what the gradle wrapper(gradlew) negates the need for...

gradle wrapper, not eclipse...

Please provide the command as you typed it and the response you got
