Minecraft wiki entry for Creating_a_resource_pack, associated text: Now that you have your resource pack set up, you can start adding content to it. Most files you add will be in a subfolder called assets. Simply create a new folder inside your resource pack folder named assets. This, pack.mcmeta, and pack.png should be the only files located directly in your parent resource pack folder. Any other resource files must be located somewhere in assets or they won't be read by Minecraft.
