I've recently tried to get into modding minecraft using a tutorial. I've followed the tutorial completely so far to the best of my ability, yet I get this error: 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to find system mod: minecraft

My best guess is that it can't find the minecraft exe/jar but I am not sure. Heres the log.

I use IntelliJ on Java17, trying to mod 1.20.1, and I'm using KaupenJoe's tutorial(s) if that helps at all. The code itself doesn't have any errors that I know of, and I'll add any other information if needed. Thank you.

For the time being, I'm just going to start from the beginning and see if that fixes it. Will update this comment if it works

 

EDIT: It worked, don't know what the issue was.
