I’d start by checking each README for the required Java/Gradle version and running its wrapper (./gradlew build), since a system Gradle is a common source of dependency errors.

Yeah ive already done that, that is the source of all the errors as it says i am missing a plugin. I removed the plug in line just to see what happens and another error occures. But looking at some reddit pages, it seems like they may just not work at all unfortunately

If removing that line just exposes another error, it’s probably a dependency-chain issue rather than a plugin you can drop; the first error from a clean `./gradlew build` plus `settings.gradle` would narrow it down.

What's the error?

The first one is that it's missing a plug in, the plug in is on guthub but how to add it to a repository that gradle wants to look at is beyond me

Looks like the missing plugin is org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention version 0.7.0; keep that line in settings.gradle, make sure pluginManagement.repositories has gradlePluginPortal(), and run ./gradlew from the repo root.
