Hello, I've just started learning how to mod following a few guides, And I've searched around google for a fix for my problem. But, I simply can not find one.

The client with the mod worked fine, until I added in a few of the resources so I could have block/item textures, however it isn't the .json's that crashes the launch its the sounds.json file which I don't even have

Sorry if this seems like an easy fix and I'm missing it, thank you for any help.

I'll put my crash log down under

You have a folder called "TestMod" in the assets or data folder.

I wasn't expecting such a quick response, Thank you.
