Creating a resource pack

I found out that run/resourcepacks and src/main/resources/ serve different purposes.

Resourcepacks

In run/resourcepacks/ you can add assets for existing parts of the game. E.g. to overwrite the texture of the vanilla creepers:

run/resourcepacks/
└── myresources
├── assets
│   └── minecraft
│   └── textures
│   └── entity
│   └── creeper
│   └── creeper.png
├── pack.mcmeta
└── pack.png
7 directories, 3 files

The content of pack.mcmeta:

{ "pack": { "description": "My resources", "pack_format": 64 } }
For the pack_format for your version of MC see:
https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Creating_a_resource_pack#Pack_format
pack.png is optional.
You do not have to zip the contents.
Resources
In src/main/resources you put the resources, i.e. client side assets, server side data, for your mod. E.g.:

src/main/resources/
├── META-INF
│   └── mods.toml
├── assets
│   └── myfirstmod
│   ├── items
│   │   └── banana.json
│   ├── lang
│   │   ├── de_de.json
│   │   └── en_us.json
│   ├── models
│   │   └── item
│   │   └── banana.json
│   └── textures
│   └── item
│   └── banana.png
├── data
│   └── myfirstmod
│   └── recipe
│   ├── my_first_shaped.json
│   └── my_first_shapeless.json
├── pack.mcmeta
└── pack.png

The game crashed whilst rendering overlay error

did you ever figure out if it was a mod conflict or something else causing the crash during rendering? Sometimes even just updating or downgrading one mod can fix weird errors like that. I'm curious what your mod list looked like when this happened.
