The attribute modid is undefined for annotation type Mod

[Gameatro]

I am learning to make Minecraft mods by following a YouTube tutorial. As per it's instructions, I downloaded latest minecraft forge(1.15.1), extracted it, then opening the powershell in the extracted directory, ran the command ".\gradlew eclipse". After that I opened eclipse and imported the forge folder as a project. I created a package inside src/main/java. Inside the package, I made a Main class file. This is the code inside the Main class file:

package com.gameatro.FirstMod;
import com.gameatro.FirstMod.util.Reference;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;

@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, name = Reference.NAME, version = Reference.VERSION)
public class Main {
	
	
}

This, I did as per the tutorial, but in the @Mod part, I am getting the error I specified in the title at modid, name, as well as version. Also, further in the tutorial, @Instance was used inside the Main class, which was imported from "net.minecraftforge.fm1.common.Mod.Interface". But when I do it, I get error saying such module does not exist. I searched the internet but did not find such errors. I even saw the example mods for 1.15, they had the same syntax for @Mod. What should I do to fix this? I tried re decompiling the forge, downloading it again and running the command, but the error persists. What am I doing wrong?,

@Mod now just takes a modid (i.e. `@Mod(Reference.MODID)`)

Is there any video tutorial for the latest version that you recommend? I am doing this for first time, so video tutorials would be better. also, is the Instance problem I mentioned due to the same reason?

No. All video tutorials I've seen so far are terrible.

To be fair, McJty's tutorials are pretty good, although they're for 1.14.4.  But, 1.15 rendering changes aside, they should work pretty well for 1.15.

This tutorial doesn't show how to add the mods to minecraft though. I made some changes in the mod, put it in a zip file and added it to the mod folder of minecraft,but it doesn't showup in the game

That is not the correct way to build your mod.

Run gradlew build to build your mod. Refer to the documentation for more details.

Yeah, in the development environment. You click run in Eclipse or IntelliJ and it does. Cadiboo's tutorial doesn't explain how to export because that's covered here:
