So I've been trying to get into modding minecraft, and so far my experiences have been utterly garbage.
Even though the game's source code looks like it has been put through a hashing algorithm 500 times, and that it is way too complex than what it should be-- I'm willing to learn.
After switching over to the forge API, I'm stuck on an issue where the client cannot load resource packs because the file passed in the function turns out to be null.
I have no idea what is causing this, nor am I patient enough to sit for hours trying to go from function to function of the unreadable nonsense.
So, the great forge modders of this forum, could you please suggest any solutions to this problem?

That log is created because of this function in the class SplashProgress:
private static IResourcePack createResourcePack(File file)
{
// This is where the exception is thrown,
// the file passed in as the parameter is
// null.
if(file.isDirectory())
{
return new FolderResourcePack(file);
}
else
{
return new FileResourcePack(file);
}
}
