Hello, so basically when I try to build my mod with Gradle it says that the task has been successfully done but when I go to the build folder, there's only a tmp folder, no libs folder. Any idea why?

Thanks!

Sorry, where's the task output? Do you mean the moment it says that it's successful on Gradle?

What's the exact command you execute? 

Can you please post the contents of build.gradle? 

Can you please post the output of gradle?

Most likely, you're not executing the right task (build or assemble) or there's something messed up in your build.gradle. If you post it here, I'm pretty sure we can straighten this out very quickly.

Here's my build.gradle:

Here's my gradle.log (I think that's the output?):

This mapping 'snapshot_20171003' was designed for MC 1.12! Use at your own peril.

 

What does gradle display when you run it? That's what I meant by output.

Also, although I don't think this is what breaks your build, your base name should only contain lower case letters.

Nevermind, I found the solution. I was pretty stupid and launched gradlew.bat instead of going into the CMD and typing gradlew build

Sorry for the inconvenience!
