NeoForge project cannot read Architectury API version

[DJChaos42]

When attempting to run the NeoForge client for a 1.20.6 project created using the generator, an error is thrown. Error information:

Missing or unsupported mandatory dependencies: Mod ID: 'architectury', Requested by: 'examplemod', Expected range: '[12.1.2,)', Actual version: '[MISSING]'

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.DefaultArtifactVersion cannot be cast to class org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.VersionRange (org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.DefaultArtifactVersion and org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.VersionRange are in module maven.artifact@3.8.5 of loader 'MC-BOOTSTRAP' @2040732f)

Tested using a clean template without making any changes to gradle.properties or build.gradle. Issue does not occur when running Fabric client.
