I've been trying to make a mod for days now and it keeps giving errors. I've tried everything!

[Endra The Celestial]

I've been trying to make a very simple mod and I cant even get the build.gradle working. I've tried everything... What am I doing wrong? 

There might be some stuff missing because I tried a lot of things to get it to work. The first error was something about the version and I fixed that and its thing after thing after thing.. Ugh. All I'm trying to do is set the thing up to be made into a mod. Its current error has made me so mad I've had to quit for a few hours. I cant get rid of it. I cant even use .\gradlew commands now. It gives me the same error for everything. It says "No such property: archivesBaseName for class: org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject_Decorated" but I cant find a trace of this error or even this repo anywhere on the internet. Can anyone help me? I'm very cooperative and usually calm except when I cant do anything right.

Also. This is for a 1.7.10 mod. I'm making a block to finish my pallet without changing any other blocks. I'm also a beginner. Everybody has to start somewhere I guess... But I'm not getting anywhere like this.

This is my last reply. I'm pretty serious about modding. I've wanted to for a while. If we cant figure it out here maybe we could move over to discord...
