I'm trying to setup forge for 1.16 modding and gradle is giving me a lot of problems. I know that pre-1.13, you could get away with gradle setupDecompWorkspace, which is now gone. The only possibilities I found online require Eclipse or IntelliJ to do the setting up for you, but I would preferrably do without an IDE (I use Sublime Text, if that can be considered one). Is this not a possibility anymore?

No setup task is necessary. Simply run the build or runXXX gradle tasks.

Then why does this happen?

error: package cpw.mods.fml.common does not exist

 

Post your entire log. As stated there are no setup tasks needed.

Done

Correct, that class does not exist in 1.16, it has not existed for quite some time. As in at least 3 years.

Update your code to 1.16.

Update your code to 1.16.

Then what is the class for the @ Mod annotation?

Also, use your IDE it'd tell you.
