BUILD FAILED in 818ms

The first apperance was on an multiloader setup, but i tested it with an mod that was build with the mdk and was implemented in an mdk setup. Everytime i get this error.
I also switched the gradle versions from 8.7 up to 8.9, rebuild the complete project.

The only solution i got is to disable/remove the implementation of jopt-simple before building/publish the jar file, then the error isn't triggered/appearing

Edit 1:

Also wiped the complete .gradle folder on C:/User// but not even then it worked.
