Hi, I am setting up forge as a contributor for 1.16.x and it seems like the way to apply those patch files to the vanilla mcp and setup the workspace for Eclipse is by executing the command gradlew setup in cmd. Whenever I try doing this, it throws the exception: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Inherited json file (null) not found! Maybe you are running in offline mode? and the build fails. I have seen some previous forum posts about temporary disabling the firewall or deleting the gradle caches folder, but none of these solutions fix the exception. I'd greatly appreciate support on this issue!

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'forge'.
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: Inherited json file (null) not found! Maybe you are running in offline mode?

* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output.
