Hi, I am currently coding a mod that needs javafx as dependency, but whatever i try it just doesn't want to load or build my mod... If i import any of the javafx classes in my mod, the mod just stops working.
To get javafx into the mod i shadow all of the dependencies into the jar with the code below but the build task errors with the error below... Does someone know what i am doing wrong?

I also tried just putting the javafx jars in my mods folder but that didn't work, so i think i have to shadow them in...

Also sometimes when i change the way i shade the dependencies it does build the mod, but Forge fails to load it, forge gives me the error listed under the other error...


For extra info: i am able to build the jar perfectly fine without the shading
 

configurations {
    shade
    compile.extendsFrom(shade)
}

dependencies {
    shade "org.openjfx:javafx-web:19:win"
    shade "org.openjfx:javafx-graphics:19:win"
    shade "org.openjfx:javafx-controls:19:win"
    shade "org.openjfx:javafx-base:19:win"
}


shadowJar {
    dependencies {
       
    }
    configurations = [project.configurations.shade]
    duplicatesStrategy DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE //prevent duplicates
    classifier "" //prevent creation of unshadowed jar
}

reobf {
    //reobfuscate the shadowed jar
    shadowJar {}
}

The game crashed whilst there was a severe problem during mod loading that has caused the game to fail Error: net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoaderException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.gwoonryan.videoplayer.VideoPlayer

(VideoPlayer is the main class that imports javafx classes)

More specific info added

The recommended method to do this now is through the JarInJar system. There are docs for it, but I recommend using the mdk as an example to add them.
