How can I setup Minecraft Mixins?

Question

I am trying to make kind of a Minecraft Client, just enough features to say it is, using Mixins, but I can't seem to setup the workspace. I have looked everywhere yet I can't find a clear answer. I have 1 year experience in Java making SpigotMC plugins and I messed around in MCP when I was bored and made things but you can't publish it so it didnt go anywhere. Can someone please help me because I have been looking everywhere on the internet and I couldn't find an answer.

I have tried following the readme.md on the Sponge Mixins GitHub but it wasn't as clear of an answer but it didn't work and also I don't think that is the right place to find how to set it up.

It really depends on what version of Minecraft you are looking for, you will have to use Gradle anyway. It's kind of very complicated. For 1.14.4 I would use fabric(its a mod loader like a forge, it doesn't use MCP mappings tho, due to copyright, hopefully soon it will use Mojang 1.15 mappings), https://fabricmc.net/wiki/tutorial:setup . This is VERY easy to set up, just download the example mod from their Github, and run the gradlew command. For 1.12.2-1.14.4 like a client version, I would suggest looking at baritones Github, https://github.com/cabaletta/baritone , you will have to know a bit about Gradle to remove their custom stuff, etc. For a "plain" 1.12.2 forge setup I would suggest looking at https://github.com/zeroeightysix/KAMI , Mixins aren't available for forge 1.13.2+ as of right now so you cant use forge for those versions. I know this is a bit late but maybe for someone in the future, or even you. Personally I only use fabric(out of the 3 examples I sent), I set them up differently my self, but you definitely will now be able to setup mixins.
