This is the first step to get your add-on up and running with functional textures from the original mod, these instructions basically apply for all of my other add-ons that don't include any textures, however there are some steps that are unique for each and every add-on so be carefull and don't mess it up you silly

Downloading the mods

First we need to download all the mods from the original source, here's a list of the mods and their download links:

• Food core
• Food Extended
• Crops
• Trees

Extracting the assets

Now that you have succesfully downloaded the mods you need to decompress the JAR file using any tool such as WinRAR, Unzip, 7zip or similar software. You'll end up with something like this

As you can see, now there is one folder for each mod and each folder contains separate textures and assets that we will use later.

Locating the correct folders

Now each mods has the same folder structure, so this step is for all four mods to locate the correct assets folder, we'll go into the mods folder, then the assets folder, and then once again inside the only folder inthere (named after the mod)

For example, for the crops mod, the location will be: modName/assets/modNamehc2crops/

Inside we will find many folders, however we only need TWO specific folders, models and textures. So forget about the other folders in there, just copy those two folders and save them on a different folder

Move the assets to ItemsAdder

Once you have succesfully saved all of the textures and models folders from every single mod, now is time to move them into our ItemsAdder folder for our resources to work, heres a sample folder structure of the ItemsAdder

plugins/
└── ItemsAdder/
    └── contents/
        └── _iainternal/
        └── zibuu/
            └── configs/
            └── resourcepacks/
                └── zcrops/
                    │   └── models/
                    │   └── textures/
                └── zfood/
                    │   └── models/
                    │   └── textures/
                └── ztrees/
                    │   └── models/
                    │   └── textures/

Now, this may sound difficult but it's easy as pie, you have to move every models and textures folder from the mod into their correspoinding folder for ItemsAdder,

• Food Extended and Food Core assets goes into "zfood"
• Trees assets goes into "ztrees"
• Crops assets goes into "zcrops"

Congrats, you have succesfully extracted and moved the original textures into your ItemsAdder add-on, however you still have to do one more thing to make it functional. I'll explain this on the next post.
