I suppose you're talking about the generated folder that's located on the src for your mod.

it is like the resources folder, it holds json files for your block and item models, loot tables, recipes and so on.

The thing is, that instead of writing the json by hand, you can use a DataProvider, then you can run the Gradle task runData to automatically generate the json files for you.

 

if you wanna know more about how to use Data Generators:

the forgedocs has a page about it: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.16.x/datagen/intro/

this youtube video by SilentChaos512 is a very good introduction also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD_ajlZ5TdY

and this repository really has alot of really useful examples: https://collaborating.tuhh.de/cev7691/minecraftforge/blob/ebd463e92f86d78fdc3ab1192360fd74850afeba/src/test/java/net/minecraftforge/debug/DataGeneratorTest.java

 

hope I helped!

Thank you so much! I will try to register like this and see if the mod recognizes my .jsons.
