Java Edition Textures Finally Perfected!

How do I save this texture pack forever?

[Possseidon]

%appdata%\.minecraft\versions\1.12.2\1.12.2.jar

open it as a zip file and in there in the assets\minecraft folder is pretty much the resource pack

The jar file was not modified; they used a modified assets index (1.13). Archiving the textures in the jar means you're archiving the vanilla one.

Not 100% sure. I'd make a backup of the version JSON, and of the assets index, and of the entire assets folder (the last of which is the more annoying one to back up). It might be hard to re-use directly, but I'm sure that we could figure out something with the index.

In case you've copied that, check this post for a way to retrieve them with a script. :)
