3. Go to File > Project Structure... > SDKs and make sure an SDK for Java 17 is installed and selected, if not download it here

Build

Test if the environment is set up correctly setup by clicking the refresh button in IntelliJ’s Gradle tab, if it has indexed properly with no errors do the following:

1. Go to ForgeTemplate > Tasks > loom > genSources in the Gradle tab and run genSources
2. To build the mod as a jar run ForgeTemplate > Tasks > build > build. Gradle will create a new directory called build.
3. Once this process is done, the .jar file will be located in build/libs You can see this in your file tree.
