VSCode not finding files

I have forked an existing 1.8.9 minecraft forge mod and am trying to edit the code of this, when I edit the code of this exact mod in VSCode, it can find libraries which are used like

import net.minecraftforge.fml.client.registry.ClientRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.gameevent.TickEvent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.client.registry.ClientRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.gameevent.TickEvent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

However when I try to create a new project myself with mostly the same code, it cannot find it. I noticed its getting the files from

C:\Users\jesse\.gradle\caches\essential-loom\1.8.9\de.oceanlabs.mcp.mcp_stable.1_8_9.22-1.8.9-forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9\forge\forge-mapped.jar

Does anyone know why my own project cannot find this file and why the forked version can?

I removed the least I had to they are basically identical just removed most comments and some files that were giving me errors When I build it and add it to my mods folder it works as expected, just vscode is not recognizing the net.minecraft and net.minecraftforge etc files

if anyone cares, it was as simple as adding

    "java.project.referencedLibraries": [
        "C:/Users/jesse/.gradle/caches/**/*.jar"
    ],

    "java.project.referencedLibraries": [
        "C:/Users/jesse/.gradle/caches/**/*.jar"
    ],

to my settings.json file in the .vscode folder. I swear to god I had looked in this file with the forked project when it was working and did not find something simular to this.. Anyway its working as expected now so im happy ?close
