DCEVM is not a tool that every dev of a project must have, it also has the disadvantage of running needing Java update 181 to run. I have been using it with the Oracle JDK with no issue, using the latest OpenJDK for Java 8 compile when distributing with no issues so far. And Intellij can’t swap out all signatures, changing some things like class names or moving around methods will stop Intellij/Eclipse from reloading.
As for ForgeGradle, we use: github.com GTNH2 ForgeGradle
With Jitpack to build it: jitpack io #GTNH2 ForgeGradle if you’d like to try it with a newer gradle.
And as for learning another language that’s fair, just another of many suggestions I have from my side of development.
Lastly for TecTech, this feels like a case of “works on my machine”. As I just checked, and it builds just fine in my Intellij using both the build task (what I use normally) and assemble. And it does work under Linux as can be seen from the Jenkins: jenkins usrv eu:8080 job Tec%20Tech 666 console
Anyway, thank you for your quick responses and wishing you both the best. Thank you for your good work I hope my feedback finds you well.
