[1.15.2/1.16.2] How can i go about updating my mod to higher versions?

[starstorms21]

Hello there, i started development of my mod a few months ago and have made considerable progress, making it a quite big project, but as 1.15.2 is starting to be outdated in terms of support, i wanted to update my project to 1.16.2
Where should i start? Are there any helpful guides/wiki pages/documentation i should have a look at before i do anything?

I mainly use intellij IDEA to code and I have made a backup of my mod files on github, so im only looking for where to start..

Thanks for any help/advice.

Ah i see, okay, so 1.16.5 then, how would i start the process of updating? Is there any way to quickly changing the mappings to the official names without having to run through my project to rename everything?

And for the general update from 1.15? 
I have done: 
Changed the mc version in @Mod
Changed 1.15.2 to 1.16.5 latest version in build.gradle
Edited the mod.toml file to require the right minecraft version
anything im missing?

I was working on a mod a while back, and now I've updated to Forge 1.17.1-37 and I have nearly 12 trillion compilation errors now. 

I've been fixing most of them, but I am still quite unclear on getting a fluid from a ForgeFlowingFluid to compile, let alone actually work. 

I wish there were an example that I can easily find.

forge is using mojang class names since 1.17

there was a script that would have done this for you automatically
