Class accessibility problems when launching MC1.17.x and MC1.18.x

[Elec332]

On a clean project as per https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MDKExamples/blob/master/obfuscation/fg7/build.gradle

When attempting to runClient/runServer (both) a project for MC 1.17.1 Forge 37.1.1 using java 16 start will always fail because of accessibility issues with cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher. Example output:

> Task :runServer FAILED
