How do you locate minecraft assets?

[SapFireMC]

Yes, this may sound very stupid. But I cant find the minecraft assets. I dont mean the assets from my mod, i mean the ACTUAL minecraft src. I know its in my forge mod folder somewhere, but i just cant find it. Ive seen many people get it from entering src,resource and assets. But for me, i dont have a asset folder that has the entire minecraft src. If your curious on what im doing, im trying to add textures for my armor. But since theres only a items and blocks folder, i can only put my armor with the minecraft armor folder. If anyone has an alternative, please say it. AND make it specific, step by step. Thanks!

That's where the jar file lives, you can extract assets (textures) from it.  I don't think the .java files exist anywhere, I think its just the compiled .class files and attached javadoc.

hm... alright. So if i do extract my files in there, would it actually be noticed? Since i dont even know if they are connected or not(But i am guessing they are since it is getting its data from gradlew anyways.). So if it is true that that is where its stored, how do you find it?

Heres my current guess:

return RefStrings.MODID + ":textures/models/armor/JadeArmor1";

Of course that didnt work, so how do you exactly find it? Sorry but this is very important to me.

FIXED.

The hell are you trying to do?

If you set up a decompiled workspace, then you can also find vanilla assets in your project:

 

<Forge Path>\build\tmp\recompSrc\assets

No, this ii all wrong, you never put YOUR stuff in SOMEONE ELSES resources.

You can make whatever folders you want in your resources folder.

Just put them in src/resources/assets/modid/texture/armor/whatever.

Yeayea... I figured that out when i said fixed. I just got a little bit confused for a second.
