Hello, my name is Michael and I am trying to begin learning how to mod Java code in Minecraft. I’m also new to Gradle and am having trouble configuring Forge to IntelliJ, I am on step 5 of the **Terminal-free IntelliJ IDEA configuration** “[Introduction - Forge Documentation](https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/)” where after building Gradle in IntelliJ I am asked to setupDecompWorkspace. But when attempting to do this I am prompted with this build failure:  
12:00:32 PM: Executing task ‘setupDecompWorkspace’…

> Configure project :  
> New Dep: net.minecraftforge:forge:1.13.2-25.0.107\_mapped\_snapshot\_20180921-1.13

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

- What went wrong:  
Task ‘setupDecompWorkspace’ not found in root project ‘MMM Folder’.

- Try:  
Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

- Get more help at [https://help.gradle.org](https://help.gradle.org)

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.  
Use ‘–warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings.  
See [Command-Line Interface - Gradle User Manual](https://docs.gradle.org/4.9/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings)

BUILD FAILED in 31s  
Task ‘setupDecompWorkspace’ not found in root project ‘MMM Folder’.  
12:01:03 PM: Task execution finished ‘setupDecompWorkspace’.

When trying to find a reason for this issue I found that it may be possible I am using an incorrect version of Gradle, whether mine is too current or outdated is beyond my knowledge; as well as how to update or downgrade? my built version of Gradle in IntelliJ  
Any and all assistance and conversation to help provide clarity and/or surpass this issue to help me begin coding using ForgeGradle in IntelliJ would be much appreciated. 🙂  
ALSO: The MMM Folder refers to the file holding my Gradle setup and the forge.jar file I downloaded. And apologies for incorrect computer jargon as I again, am not very familiar with this process.
