Description
This mod is meant to be used together with my other mods Custom Main Menu and Custom Backgrounds but it can be used with any other mod that can take resource locations for config options.
It allows users to add their own resources to minecraft. While this would be possible using resource packs these resource packs would be visible in the resource pack window (Which the resources added by this mod aren't) and you can also just add resources to a simple folder which is easier then repackaging the resource pack every time.
Usage
After your first run with this mod installed you will notice a folder called "resources" created in your main minecraft folder (where config,saves etc. are located). That is the place you will be adding your resources to.
In case you don't know what a resource location is it consists of a resource domain and a resource path. With mods the resource domain is generally the mod id so "randomthings:textures/blocks/advancedFluidDisplay.png" refers to a texture of my Advanced Fluid Display. The vanilla resources are located in the "minecraft" resource domain ("minecraft:textures/blocks/dirt.png"). If a mod you are using now requires you to enter a resource location for something (For example Custom Main Menu or Custom Backgrounds) the resource domain will be a folder in the resources folder.
This will probably be easier to understand when you see an image:
The Resource Location for singleplayer.png would now be "test:textures/singleplayer.png".
If you don't understand this / have problems using this with a mod feel free to ask on this page. Do not ask if you just don't get what this mod is supposed to do :P.
The things you put in the resources folder can override vanilla resources but can be overridden by installed resource packs. If you want to override everything, including all installed resource packs create a new folder called "oresources" where the resources folder is, resources put in "oresources" have the highest priority, e.g. override everything else that contains that resource. The following image shows how minecraft "searches" for a resource:
Debugging
By default Resource Loader will print all resource domains it has folders for to the debug log. By creating a folder called "debug" in either your resources or oresources folder you can enable additional logging. Resource Loader will then print a line to the debug log whenever it can't find a requested file.
You can use this mod in any modpack without asking first
I genuinely have no clue what is wrong with what I'm doing, though, it probably could be solved relatively fast hopefully since I'm stupid haha.
Whenever I change the images for the panorama and title in the .json for Custom Main Menu, when I go to reload, a broken texture comes up. It's the purple and black boxes. I have no clue what it is that I'm doing wrong for these to pop up. And I've only had this problem with images on the Main Menu.
In my resource folder, I have two folders, one for the panorama and one for the title.
I'll also include the path I have within the .json.
Here they are...
resources/title/textures/title.png
--> "title:textures/title.png"
resources/panorama/textures/panorama.png
--> "panorama:textures/panorama.png"
Also, I want to ask whether your Custom Main Menu, Chunk Loading, and Resource Loader is client side or not? I plan to use this for a server with a couple of buddies.
Thanks!

In reply to jujuchiii:
I am wondering that too if its only client side, I want others to download a technic modpack and just see this menu
In reply to Chrisisthegreatest970:
It is clientside only, yes. So it needs to be installed alongside the rest of the pack in order to be seen.
In reply to monsterpants:
thank you!!
will this be updated to 1.14?
will this be updated to 1.14
In reply to Ichigo_Games:
Howdy. I think this mod might not be needed in 1.14 - I have been able to replace resources by following Tutorials/Creating a resource pack and Tutorials/Creating a data pack on the minecraft wiki.
There is a small amount of additional data needed in addition to the replacement data and resources.

is it possible to change default pack.png texture?
i tried in oresources/pack.png and resources/pack.png but it isn't seems to work
I'm only trying to add a custom logo for now, I'll start messing with other things later. I've got my png in ATLauncher/Instances/(Instance Name)/resources/test/logo named "logo2.png", and in the config for CMM I have the path as "test:logo/logo2.png". It shows as a missing texture. I am trying to use this mod in ATLauncher, am I doing something wrong? any help or advice appreciated.
Nevermind, problem seems to have solved itself...How do you link a sound from this mod?
(eg. a gun mod that lets you change fire/explosion sounds, but instead of a directory like test:sounds/gun.ogg it uses mod:gun.fire.boom)
Can this be used to force a texture/model as a priority over the default texture? As an example, re-texturing and giving a custom model to a piece of armor?
Not sure if me being stupid or not, but all my block textures aren't loading?? I've gotten it to load the textures for chests, but nothing else works despite being set up correctly? (I basically crtl+c crtl+v'd my resource pack over starting from the minecraft folder being dumped into resources
Could anyone help me understand what im doing wrong. Im trying to play custom menu music.
Using version 1.12.2
When I put the music in \resources\assets\minecraft\sounds\music\menu\menu1.ogg it doesn't work.
But when I load a resource pack and place the music in \resourcepacks\test\assets\minecraft\sounds\music\menu\menu1.ogg it does work.
Im confused because isnt the resources folder suppose to override the default minecraft folder?
In reply to Turnerr_:
The only thing I can think of is to copy the song 3 more times and name them menu2 - menu4.
I am running into the same issue as you. It looks like resource loader doesn't work with music anymore, or at least the same way it did in 1.7.10. Which is unfortunate as I would love to have custom music with my pack.
In reply to SaintFelipeTV:
Sorry forgot to say but I did end up testing all 4 files. Couldnt get it to work. I did however get it to work by putting it in the modpack.jar. But I'm still trying to find a solution for curse packs.
In reply to Turnerr_:
you dont need the assets folder
im trying to make a pack but i want to know, does the resource folder NEED to be in our minecraft install? is there some way to put it into the instance folder like whats done in multimc or the twitch launcher?
Very usefull and works extremely well.
TIP: If you don’t know how to add textures, you add resources as resource pack but you put the things from “assets” into “resources”.
