 ## Experimental Gradle Plugin
 We're currently developing a new experimental Gradle Plugin, focused on simpler buildscripts and improved caching. You can find information on its usage [here](https://github.com/NeoForged/ModDevGradle), and support is provided in the [thread](https://discord.com/channels/313125603924639766/1239579489617580072) on our [Discord server](https://discord.neoforged.net).
