PAL NeoForge 26.1 crash on startup

[stable parcel]

Hey, not exactly sure if this is a me-issue or a problem in PAL or Mocha, but when I try to start my own mod while trying to update to 26.1 I'm getting this error.
My gradle setup is basically the one from the documentation, so no special thing either.

implementation "com.zigythebird.playeranim:PlayerAnimationLibNeo:$player_animation_lib_version"

Maybe someone can help me 😅

Show how you added pal to the build script

[stable parcel]

I did in the original post up there, basically just:

dependencies {
  implementation "com.zigythebird.playeranim:PlayerAnimationLibNeo:$player_animation_lib_version"
}

as in the documentation

What build plugin do you use? Since there are no issues with Neoforge on the prod env

[stable parcel]

just the default mod dev gradle

player_animation_lib_version is 1.2.2+mc.26.1

Try

dependencies {
  implementation("com.zigythebird.playeranim:PlayerAnimationLibNeo:$player_animation_lib_version") {
    exclude(module: "PlayerAnimationLibCore")
  }
}

[stable parcel]

will try later today when im home, thanks 🫡

[stable parcel]

that makes me not able to compile anymore xD

[pulsar olive]

Add core as compile only

[stable parcel]

that hinders PAL from finding the classes aswell

    implementation("com.zigythebird.playeranim:PlayerAnimationLibNeo:$player_animation_lib_version") {
        exclude(module: "PlayerAnimationLibCore")
    }
    compileOnly "com.zigythebird.playeranim:PlayerAnimationLibCore:${player_animation_lib_version}"

a workaround I found was using a modified jar of PAL that has PAL-Core inside of it with FMLModType: GAMELIBRARY in the MANIFEST.MF
