I have been trying to make a mod and so I went around looking for tutorials and when I read up on stuff with forge, I saw that alot of people suggested using Gradle so I decided to give it a try and looked through the tutorial here on the forums making sure to do everything it said. Once I was done I went back to looking at tutorials and I followed what I was supposed to do. But when I looked inside the src folder in my forge folder I found that the only thing in it was a folder named main and within that where some folders leading to an example mod and an example mcmod.info but nothing else. All the modding tutorials I have looked at show that there are supposed to be many other files in the src folder but I can't seem to find them. I tried re-installing everything and even tried the advanced options on the tutorial post but the src folder just ends up having the same main folder in it. Am I doing something wrong, is there something else I need, or is that how it's supposed to be? And please don't just give me a link back to the gradle tutorial, I've read it about 10 times already and I still end up with the same problem.

This is not a bug, it's a feature. You are not doing anything wrong, the source code for Forge & Minecraft is no longer part of your actual project, it is now in a jar file in the Referenced Libraries.

 

Really? Huh, well thanks for letting me know!
