I made a mod for me and my friends. In the intelliJ IDE you can runClient and the mod works fine. When I export it and run minecraft with it in my mods folder it doesn't work. It says: mods.toml missing metadata for modid hoo.

It also says that there are missing mods in the mods location.

modid-1.0.jar

Toss it out and use one of McJty's Tutorials.

Technovision is known to encourage people to do exactly as he does without explaining how or why it works, leading to people getting confused when they miss something.

Is it fine to follow this tutorial in 1.16.3?

He's pretty much telling you to learn from this one instead of the one you were using.
