Oh, okay. I was waaaaay overcomplicating things, now that I'm looking at these files. Thank you for the help!!

I'm trying to make a little corgi. He's pretty simple, just a head and snout, body, tail and four legs. Pretty similar to the wolf, build and animation-wise, but looks like a corgi. I'm just trying to figure out what the steps are for structure within the mod (and how bloody importing animation works!). I was looking for a tutorial because I was hoping they'd go over how the files are organized. I know there was a change from Anvil to .json files from 1.7.10 to 1.8, so I was looking for 1.8+ tutorials (and cannot find) just in case. I think I'm either not searching correctly or this is so simple that there isn't a tutorial out there and/or I'm just a dumb. Is it possible to locate the normal minecraft files within my computer so I could look at file hierarchy? And where the heck can I learn how to import animations? Those are my biggest concerns right now.

I want to make a custom entity for a 1.12.2 mod, but I'm having trouble finding tutorials on how to animate and import models (all the ones I can find are for pre-1.8 ). Can someone point me to any resources? Thank you!
