§`maex` library crate

If you are reading this, you are reading the documentation for the maex library crate. For the cli, kindly refer to the README file.

The assets folder, usually located directly under .minecraft, consists of 3 folders:

index: This folder contains several JSON files for indexing the assets, each for a specific game version. Each JSON file contains a single key objects at the top level, which is a map of asset paths to their corresponding hash and size.
objects: This folder contains the actual assets, which are stored in a hashed format. Specifically, denote the hash as hash, the asset will be stored in objects/hash[0..2]/hash.
skins: Structured like objects, containing skin images, but I don’t know where their indices are stored.

load_index: Reads the index (as a reader), returns a map of hashed paths to meaningful paths. Note that the hashed paths are relative to base path .minecraft/assets/objects/.
run: Extracts assets, given the index path and the output path.
