How are you running Gradle?

#

From the command line? Only your IDE?

#

What is your JAVA_HOME?

#

Do you have any toolchain configured in your build.gradle?

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

im running gradle in cmd and idk what java_home is supposed to be / mean

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

thorny ferry im running gradle in cmd and idk what java_home is supposed to be / mean

What is the output of echo %JAVA_HOME% in cmd?

#

JAVA_HOME is an environment variable that points to the Java installation if set up

#

Please also include the output of where java and where javac

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

do i paste echo %JAVA_HOME% in cmd

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

thorny ferry do i paste echo %JAVA_HOME% in cmd

yes

#

echo is a command that just prints everything coming after it

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

C:\Users\name>echo %JAVA_HOME%
%JAVA_HOME%

C:\Users\name>

#

this is what pops uip

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

thorny ferry C:\Users\name>echo %JAVA_HOME% %JAVA_HOME% C:\Users\name>

this means no JAVA_HOME is set

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

look hold on one sec

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

What is the output of where java and where javac?

#

and javac --version

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:38 PM

#

where java
C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.8.9-hotspot\bin\java.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\java8path\java.exe
where javac

#

javac 21.0.8

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:38 PM

#

ok so how exactly do you see Gradle using the wrong Java version? Can you show your build.gradle file?

ok

#

There should be a program on Windows that you can use to edit environments

#

Can you try typing "environment" in your start menu? It should show something like "Edit user environment variables"

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

im there

#

now what

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

Add a new environment variable named JAVA_HOME and set the value to C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.8.9-hotspot

#

that should tell Gradle where to find Java

You were facing this problem essentially: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-is-trying-to-use-a-jdk-that-has-been-uninstalled-from-my-system/43202/9

Gradle Forums

Gradle is trying to use a JDK that has been uninstalled from my system

I had the same issue and I removed .gradle folder from user and it worked perfectly

#

You had a running Gradle daemon that was still referencing the old JDK

#

The gradlew --stop commands stops all running Gradle daemons

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:01 PM

#

manic tiger You had a running Gradle daemon that was still referencing the old JDK

A daemon is a background process and Gradle uses daemons as an optimization as it can achieve better performance by using the same process for consecutive builds

ok seems there are compilation errors

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:02 PM

#

y?

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:03 PM

#

Your code is not valid Java code

#

These are errors in your Java code

📎 errors.txt

#

Did you decompile that code?

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

jd-gui yea but i had permission from my friend who made the code

#

he just told me to decompile it

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

so your friend used an obfuscator which makes it hard to decompile/get useful stuff out of it

#

this resulted in one class being named null

#

or it's just an anonymous class and the decompiler couldn't deal with it

#

null is not a valid name of a Java class

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

💔

#

what now

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

so you'd need to rename that class and the references to it

#

and in wrESP2.java, there's a syntax error where a " is missing

#

it should probably be info("Deepslate at " + pos.method_23854(), new Object[0]);

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

is chatgpt correct on this

#

oh wow

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

yeah it's a pretty obvious error

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

cooked

#

alr give me a sec to fixx

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

the message literally tells you that the " is not closed

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

which file is it in

#

cause i looked in wresp2.java didnt see it

#

nvm

#

i was in wrong one

#

info("Deepslate at" + pos.method_23854(), new Object[0]);

#

like this?

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

yeah should be fine

#

though you probably want a space between at and the closing "

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

alr

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

it would be the difference between Deepslate at123 and Deepslate at 123

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

info("Deepslate at " + pos.method_23854(), new Object[0]);

#

wait

#

one sec

#

it didnt copy correct

#

info("Deepslate at " + pos.method_23854(), new Object[0]);

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

and I think the , new Object[0] is technically unnecessary (but not incorrect) if the method is using varargs

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

no idea my friend js said to decompile his addon then copy and paste the coding and rebrand the meteor client addon for minecraft

#

i only know a littel about coding

#

but what other errors is there or was that it

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

idk what your decompiler did but it seems like your friend used an obfuscator making it difficult to decompile and make sense of the code

#

mainly the latter

thorny ferry Jul 26, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

what do i do now then

manic tiger Jul 26, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

fix the errors I guess?
