Newbie Question // Issues with building

[TehPigYT]

Hey there,

I am trying to setup a basic server to try out, but I am currently having issues with building the jar file.
The issue seems to originate from the build.gradle.kts file and I tried to follow the guide provided here

If you need the file structure or any other additional information let me know.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Apparently the .kts file type is what made the build unsuccessful.

I actually have another question: In which directory can I find the built jar file?

[TehPigYT]

there is no build/libs directory though

[TehPigYT]

I do not think that options from other java projects could have been moved to the minestom server.
As for the build.gradle file, here is the cod snipper

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "7.1.1"
}

group 'org.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    // WARNING: outdated version, replace it to the latest
    // Reminder: can be found at https://jitpack.io/#Minestom/Minestom
    implementation 'com.github.Minestom:Minestom:-SNAPSHOT'
}

jar {
    manifest {
        // WARNING: change the 'Main-Class' value
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'fr.themode.minestom.MinestomTest',
                "Multi-Release": true
    }
}

This is my current file structure

open up the orange build folder, there should be a libs or lib folder there

[GoldenCookieGIT]

also change the main class name in the main-class manifest to your main class

[TehPigYT]

There is no lib or libs directory inside the builds folder for me.
As for the main class, I have named my main file to Main.java, so the class name is Main

[TehPigYT]

Apparently I managed to make the build, but I had to use the command line to do it.
IntelliJ's build button seemed to do nothing.

You can make a custom build script using IntelliJ, click on the drop down next to the play button and select gradle then set build as the command
