Debugging tutorial is overcomplicated

[XakepSDK]

https://docs.spongepowered.org/stable/en/plugin/debugging.html
This tutorial is completely wrong! You don't need to clone any sponge source code to just debug, everything you need is server jar and your plugin jar, that's all!
Replace or remove it.

1. Create new IDEA project or open existing
2. Open 'project structure' window
3. Click on 'artifacts' tab
4. Add artifact with source from module
5. Point artifact's build output directory to mods dir. of sponge installation
6. Save
7. Open 'run configurations' window
8. Add new run configuration 'JAR Application (that should be in '+' dropbox)
9. Point 'Path to jar' to your forge.jar or spongevanilla.jar
10. Change 'Working directory' to a directory, where forge.jar or spongevanilla.jar located
    if you don't do this, your project directory will be littered with sponge/forge/minecraft files
11. Open run configuration window again
12. In bottom part of this window you will see '+', click on it and add your artifact
13. Save
14. Now you can run your plugin with debugging, just press green bug icon near launch button.

That won't give you source code or the ability to set breakpoints in sponge/minecraft code.

[XakepSDK]

This will give source code and ability to set breakpoints up SF or SV code.
This won't give you deobfuscated names or ability to set breakpoints in MC or Forge code.
If don't know how can you debug code in JVM, i'm sure you don't need setting breakpoints in MC codebase or wanting deobfuscated names.

This tutorial is completely wrong!

Your opinion. If someone does want to get a workspace with full code access, the docs are 100% right.

What I think the correct solution to the issue is:
Split up full vs "beginning to debug" docs and call it a day.

A lot of forge code gets mixin , can't be debugged(The line number is incorrect for debugging), Further setup is required for normal debugging

Debugs just fine in intellij with the MinecraftDev plugin:

If you're using mixins, then you are using ForgeGradle too. FG has out of box run configs for IDE's, so current tutorial and this tutorial are unnecessary and confusing.
