I making a Minecraft mod (almost) first time for Fabric 1.20.1 (lodaer 0.16.10). When I try to build or do something with gradle, it gives an error:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'projectname'.

If I downgrade fabric loom version to 1.9, everything works fine, is it safe to downgrade? Maybe I should do something different?

I agree with the commenter, upgrading gradle is better than downgrading Fabric.

I think a look at this post should help.
