Additional Resources Mod (1.13.2, 1.12.2)— Resource Looseness

Additional Resources mod is a Minecraft API designed to add loose resources to the game without needing to install a texture pack. Created by username portablejim, this mod can be used by aspiring mod developers.

What the Mod Offers

The mod creates a new directory that allows mod developers to add their own resource packs along with their mods. The mod is mainly designed for mods that have user-defined content that needs to be loaded as a resource. In itself, the mod does not have a GUI.

Should You Install It?

If you are planning on creating a mod that might use user-defined content, then you might look into installing the mod.

Usage

The mod will create a directory (or you can create it yourself) next to the mods directory called “mods-resourcepacks“.

Inside that folder, put what would be in the assets folder, except for “pack.mcmeta“.

Example:

"assets/mymod/lang/en_US.lang" => "mods-resourcepacks/mymod/lang/en_US.lang"
