[1.15] Shading new version of netty

[Chormi]

Hi! I have some troubles with my gradle. I installed shadow into it, and tried shading the netty package by doing:
 

dependencies {
    compile group: 'io.netty', name: 'netty-all', version: '4.1.29.Final'

}

shadowJar{
    configurations = [project.configurations.compile]
    relocate 'io.netty', 'com.hofill.netty'
}

 

 

This is the only shadow related thing I have in my build.gradle.

After I did this, I reimported the gradle packages, and then went in my code to do :

 

new com.hofill.netty.handler.proxy.Socks5ProxyHandler()

 

Which resulted in the program telling me:

• package com.hofill.netty.handler.proxy does not exist

 

What did I do wrong? I tried the srgExtra() but that didn't work out for me either. Could you guys please help me? Thanks a ton

I want 4.1.29 because it has better DNS redirects, how can I make it work? (not the DNS redirects, the netty shading)

so what stepts do I have to take to make it work? I tried building it from the terminal but that didn't work either. The code is done.

Can I just git clone from github and just rename the packages? Or what do you mean by create my own version of the netty library?

Yep, truth is I still do need it for 1.8.9, but I don't see why I couldn't ask about it since it isn't really about the version (I don't want to get my thread locked). The netty version in 1.8.9 doesn't support Socks5ProxyHandler or Socks4ProxyHandler, and I have a mod for 1.12 that does that uses these functions (seeing as how in 1.12.1 the minecraft netty version does support it). I want to port the 1.12.1 mod to 1.8.9. That's the reason i'm doing this. (sorry for lying first of all lol)
