When you create resource packs, even more so models, it is very useful to only load a resource pack as FOLDER, so you can actively/live edit files while being ingame at the same time, reload texture packs with F3-T, and see your changes rightaway.
In 16w32b this is not possible, at least not for me with Windows 7, Java 8.101, whereas for a friend of mine who runs Linux it is still possible.
E.g. I changed a lapisblock texture and can only see it when I load the resourcepack as ZIP into my client, but NOT if I load the very same resource pack as (unpacked) FOLDER.
In the 16w32a-snapshot the FOLDER does work for me still, but NOT in 16w32b.
Steps to reproduce
To faciliate it, I attached a lapisblock-only-texturepack as ZIP, there is nothing else in that pack as files than the lapisblock texture, the pack.png (default) and the pack.mcmeta.
Unpack "16w32b-lapisblock-test.zip"
Load only the unpacked folder as resourcepack
Test one time in 16w32a, then in 16w32b.
In 16w32b it won't be displayed (unless apparently you're on Linux OS)?

Confirmed, it get's shown in the list, is compatible, selectable, etc. but doesn't change/load textures models or sounds.
Thanks @unknown }=) Then Linux of my buddy seems to be odd in that regard.
Good you confirmed it, I almost went crazy as I was looking for a fault on my side }xD
I have been having a similar problem as well, but I was too afraid to report it because I thought it was a problem with my resource pack!
@unknown You're probably making something wrong.
Make sure the unpacked resourcepack folder looks like that: Click me for image
It must not have another sublevel of folder, there must be directly the "assets" folder as top folder inside the unpacked resource pack folder.
Also make sure you've got a pack.mcmeta inside the folder (like on the picture I linked), something like:
{
"pack": {
"pack_format": 3,
"description": "1.11 resourcepack as FOLDER"
}
}@Nathan, about "to keep informed": The mods don't like too much metatalk here, every time someone writes or edits something in here, everyone following the bug gets informed, which can be annoying };] We shouldn't talk here too much or it gets deleted and we get scolded.
If you got further problems with the resourcepack as folder, send me a direct/private message to my Twitter-account LapisDemon (my DMs are open for everyone), or if you don't have Twitter, send me a private message on Reddit or YT (both also username LapisDemon).
Good luck!
Are you using the new format version (v3)?
