Thanks for your help! I see this is still WIP, so I converted it to a draft. I’ll continue looking at this, please add commits if you do more work on this!

[SandwichBtw]

Ofcourse! I'll try to make another commit tomorrow.

@SandwichBtw Please review the changes I made in the SandwichBtw-master branch to the Gradle files, and rebase them into your PR. They are in a working state now, and ready to be merged. However, I can't merge your PR without you rebasing first. If you need assistance please reach out via my Discord server, which is located in the project's README.

I unfortunately cannot push any changes into this fork since it was based on the master branch of the project, and that branch is protected for a reason.

Summary of changes:

• Updated Gradle to 8.6. It appears you may be using IntelliJ because the default gradlew wrapper that was in the project when I cloned it was 8.0.2, which is 6 minor versions behind.
• Added libs.version.toml file as it appears that was missed from your original commit
• Removed all build logic from the subprojects, and instead placed it in the main build.gradle.kts file. This is so each project can be built using the same logic and changed much easier. This was done via an afterEvaluate block within the subprojects section.
• I was quite confused when ./gradlew build wasn't working. Turns out, it was never configured. I've configured the build script to depend on shadowJar, as well as two other tasks of my authoring, in order to ensure the builds are done properly, and that they make sense. If you attempt to run shadowJar on its own, you will receive an exception
  
• Updated config.yml to give credit to you for build tools modernization
• Updated README to reflect not running shadowJar
• Add Javadoc and Source jarfile generation
• Add Javadoc HTML generation

I want to thank you for assisting with this PR so quickly. The project is building in ~5 seconds now, while with Maven was nearly 10 seconds. The only thing that needs configured is publishing, and that's something I must due for security reasons. Again, please rebase your PR and if you need assistance let me know.

Looks good!

TODO:

• Fix publishing since that's broken now
• Update Java CI with Maven since it's no longer maven lol
