Issue with using JEI API/Mod in my workspace [SOLVED]

[Bluperman949]

I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm making a stupid mistake. I've been trying for the last two days or so to set up a modding environment with JEI API and the JEI mod itself in it.

Here are the relevant pieces of my build.gradle:

dependencies {
    minecraft 'net.minecraftforge:forge:1.16.5-36.0.1'
    
    compileOnly fg.deobf("mezz.jei:jei-7.6.1.65:1.16.4:api") { transitive = false }
    runtimeOnly fg.deobf("mezz.jei:jei-7.6.1.65:1.16.4") { transitive = false }
    
}

repositories {
  maven {
    // location of the maven that hosts JEI files
    name = "Progwml6 maven"
    url = "https://dvs1.progwml6.com/files/maven/"
  }
  maven {
    // location of a maven mirror for JEI files, as a fallback
    name = "ModMaven"
    url = "https://modmaven.k-4u.nl"
  }
}

I'm honestly not sure what the "transitive = false" bit does, but it made the API download properly. The problem is, the mod itself (not the API) isn't being downloaded when I build my project.

Or at least that's what I think is happening. I might be wrong. Anyways, here's the error. It doesn't prevent the client or server from running, it just shows up as a problem and JEI isn't listed as a mod in the client's home screen's "mods" menu.

This error used to appear twice, once for each missing library, but one of them is fine now that I added that "transitive = false" bit of text and built my project again. Given that I don't see JEI when I run the client, I'm guessing it's the API that downloaded properly and the mod that's missing.

When I say "built my project" I mean that I ran "gradlew eclipse" and "gradlew genEclipseRuns" from cmd with the working directory set in my mod's workspace.

Could not resolve: mezz.jei:jei-7.6.1.65:1.16.4_mapped_snapshot_20201028-1.16.3

I just found this at the end of the output for gradlew eclipse. So yes, it's not able to download this file.

 

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? If I left out any important information please let me know. Thanks!

Ok. Sorry for wasting your time if you came here to help. The issue was something gradle-related. I hadn't added a Gradle Nature to my project in eclipse so it just didn't work properly. If you're having this issue on eclipse, try right-clicking your project, clicking "add gradle nature", and then building it again. I'll mark this as solved now.
