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
13 directories, 10 files
