Why I'm When using LiquidCrystal_I2C.h library, why am I getting "invalid header file" in TinkerCad? - When using LiquidCrystal_I2C.h library

LinkThis is a link to the guy that made itthe project work, it seems that I'm unable to make it work by myself. :  the project What.

What am I doing wrong? HARDWARE

SCHEMEHardware

Schematic diagram

Error:"invalid header file"

invalid header file

howHow the SM output should look with LCD without I2C  :not the build shown in the post!

this may be insufficient information, if that is so then please tell me what info to addSM output - Not the build shown in the post!

Thank y'all

Ancillary information

(unimportant to the issue) 

BTW the code is for measuring water level and displaying it on the display. After I buy the hardware and when it finally ships, I will add ALOTa lot more (requiring MEGA2560 or even DUE)- more

More complex: It will measure the water level and the temp of the surroundings(maybe even the water itself). It will turn on/off the Water pump using my fathers scheme for turning big relay on/off with two buttons but instead of buttons I will use smaller relays for automatization.I will insure that it doesnt malfunction with the arduino-off state being 0 for the pump and 2 pairs of electrodes or sum mounted on the top of the water tank.- when they complete the circuit because of unpredicted water level the program will stop the pump. I will need to measure and convert the readings like 60 times(add x liters of water = y meter increase) because the water tank is positioned horizontally so the calculations would be difficult. I will need to create a website or sum and send the data to it -(W5500) , log of time-(RTC DS3231 I2C ). Plus alot more.

If I find no solution I will probably have to start programming it raw earlier than I expected, It's just that everyday I find better components and more to use in my project, i will either wait and order once || not wait and order multiple times. And with that all I'm sure I will still probably regret my purchases

sorry if this is a mess, I'm probably just procrastinating writing this so I sped it up.

Thank you all in advance.
