[1.15.2] /bin/main has mods that were not found

[tomatoBhutan]

I'm relatively new to Java, not totally new, but new enough. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. upon running client from Eclipse, Minecraft loads with an error message reading ".../bin/main has mods that were not found." I've tried a lot of different things to fix this, including searching this forum for answers, checking stackexchange, changing the name of the mod file, and changing my mod's main class name from my intended name to "ExampleMod" and back again. I was trying to follow Cadiboo's tutorial on modding for 1.15 on GitHub [ https://cadiboo.github.io/tutorials/1.15.1/forge/ ] when I ran into this roadblock. Additionally, I've been checking an ancient Minecraft modding book from the days of 1.9. [So far it's not to different!] This stinks because it's highly discouraging.

    public static final String MODID = "minecraftxlcore";
    
}

 

On some other threads, some people I understand to be important have told the thread poster to provide FML logs. Upon researching the internet, I don't know how to do that either, so please let me know if possible.

All help is appreciated.

You are defining dependencies for a mod with id "examplemod" that does not exist.

Also note that your mod id currently does not match between mods.toml and @Mod

[tomatoBhutan]

I got rid of the dependency part of the mods.toml file, but it creates a new error upon running which states "mods.toml is missing metadata for modID" so I put the dependency part back. Also, what should I be changing: the modID in mods.toml or the @Mod?

minecraft-xl-core != minecraftxlcore

Works perfectly now. Thanks so much!
