+The `com.example` package needs to be renamed to match the value of `baseGroup`.
 
 If you don't want mixins (which allow for modifying vanilla code), then you can remove the references to mixins from
-the `build.gradle.kts`, delete the `mixins.examplemod.json` and the `com.example.mixin` package.
