MinecraftForge/ForgeGradle#520 seems to be fixed in this, but the buildsystem will need retesting for the newer ForgeGradle version. Can someone do this?

I just ran a completely clean install of Gradle and Carpetmod on macOS Mojave. The build still fails due to natives for macOS 404ing against the repository.

Update: I did some digging and the issue is that Forge Mod Coder Pack pulls a dependency on a library called Java Objc Bridge. I think this is due to Minecraft having a dependency on it - but I could be wrong. I found a copy of it in my Minecraft installation: /Users/llew/Library/Application Support/minecraft/libraries/ca/weblite/java-objc-bridge I think the developers of the library, Weblite, removed it from their repositories for some reason or perhaps added the natives into their main library. It is just the natives that are not found - the main jar is still available.

EDIT:
Did some more digging and the reason is because Java Objc Bridge merged their project with JNA (Java Native Access). This results in a different project structure, meaning the extra natives JAR file, which is the one that can't be found, disappeared because it is no longer needed. If JNA was not required as a dependency before - it now is.
