[Solved] [1.16.5] How do you use an API like Baubles?

[SapphireSky]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this.

I'm trying to make a mod that uses Baubles (specifically Baubles Reborn since Baubles hasn't been updated since 1.12).

Its official "how to" tells you to put these:

repositories { maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } }
dependencies { compile 'com.github.lazyMods:Baubles:1.8.7-1.16.5:api' }

in the build.gradle file... but ends there with no other instructions.

I've tried looking at other (old) posts about and implementations of Baubles, and the only other things I can find to is adding this:

[[dependencies.zero]]
    modId="baubles"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[1.8.7,)"
    ordering="NONE"
    side="BOTH"

into my mods.toml file, as well as using the --refresh-dependencies gradle command.

Nothing has given me any errors, but nothing is referencing anything to do with Baubles, either.

What am I supposed to ACTUALLY do to get this to work?

The "official how to" is correct. Did you do that?

The mods.toml dependencies are checked by Forge at runtime, they do not install any mods.

I did everything I listed above, and I know it doesn't install any mods, but shouldn't adding the repositories/dependencies bit give me access to the API from my project? 'Cause unless I'm missing something else less obvious, I'm not getting any access to it from anywhere.

Show your full build.gradle.

That should work. Do you receive any errors during import of the project into your IDE?

No, but I imported the project to set up the mod basics before attempting to add Baubles integration.

Is refreshing dependencies and refreshing Eclipse's workspace not enough? Do I have to delete and re-import the project?

To answer my own question, this was it... I had to specifically re-import as a Gradle project instead of running ./gradlew eclipse and importing as a Java project.

But it seems to work now, so thank you. I probably wouldn't have guessed to re-import it.
