[1.10.2] Where Have Vanilla Assets Gone?

[jeffryfisher]

In earlier versions of Forge, there were ways to see the vanilla assets. Everything from json files to sounds was available (with textures being critical starting material for the artistically challenged).

 

In b1450 I see the assets in my Forge installation at ...Forge1450\build\tmp\recompSrc\assets. I also vaguely recall finding assets in my app data for .minecraft. However, since upgrading to mc 1.10.2, I can't find any assets (except my own) anywhere (and I've done several full-disk searches as well as Google searches for info). App data .minecraft has a bunch of objects, but they're all hashed. They don't even have file extensions.

 

Where Have Vanilla Assets Gone? -- Peter, Paul and Mary will want to know.

 

If we truly have lost intelligible vanilla assets, then (besides blaming Microsoft) I'll encourage every modder to install a prior version of Forge just to gain fertile examples to emulate and work from.

I always open the jar file to look at them and have extracted them from timw to time using winrar or 7-zip

Gradle caches a Minecraft jar in ~USER~\.gradle\caches\minecraft\net\minecraft\minecraft. You can open it up to see the assets.
