Attempting to build a fat jar produces error message.

As per the readme, I'm trying to build a fat jar w/ ./gradlew shadowJar, but I get the following output:

> ./gradlew shadowJar

lol, there seems to be no shadow jar plugin installed. Readme is clearly wrong. Try modifying the build.gradle file accordingly https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow

Just adding id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '7.0.0' to the plugins caused complaints about an unsupported gradle version, so I upgraded gradle with ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=7.1.1 but then ran into other complaints about nebula.os-package, which is already on its latest version but seems to be using some removed APIs. My knowledge of gradle could fill a post-it and is now exhausted.

Yeah, I would try older versions of the shadow plugin, preferably versions released back when this was project was active
