Does anyone know why we need to use forge gradle instead of regular forge?

Thanks for replying so quick, and by the way I like your mod

After asking this question I found myself baffled at the problem I now face which is eclipse not finding the .project file to make my mod since the last one I had was corrupted and I needed to deobfuscate so I could restore the mod, and now i'm wondering if I can, please help.

Use BON (Bearded Octo Nemesis) to deobfuscate your mod. After that you decompile it using a standard Java decompiler, such as JD-Gui or similar. Then you can just put the resulting code into a normal forge workspace.

Thanks this answers one of my problems but, For some reason it cannot find the project file for forge and I cannot fix it

Did you delete anything from the forge download?

Nevermind i managed to fix it, but I have one last question, Can I make a block texture larger than 16 x 16?
