Datagen Texture Override does not accept mcmeta files

[Sagenseele]

Hello,

Observed behaviour:
Placing a texture in the extra_datagen_resources/assets/modern_industrialization/datagen_texture_overrides folder does only override the .png file. The texture ingame is stretched over the item frames.

Wished behaviour:
When I place an .png and .png.mcmeta file within the texture override folder, it would be great for the mcmeta file to apply.

I uploaded the example files, one directory for kubejs with the startup_script and the MIMaterialEvent and the other one with the datagen folder, the to be replaced textures and the mcmeta file.

extra_datagen_resources.zip
kubejs.zip

What benefit does using extra_datagen_resources have over using the KubeJS assets directory in this case?

I think just convenience. Copying various files from the data gen to the kubejs folder after every added material was a little bit tedious, so I enable the setting to load from datagen and thought I could just override the textures, remove them from the .gitignore and upload the whole folder.
It also removed most of the errors occuring while copy-pasting, since this feature would enable me to not care about forgetting any file. And with the MIMachineEvents creating a machine it also eliminated errors with missing models and so on.

And second, if that behaviour was not intended, I wanted to report it.

But if it is intendeded like this and you don't want this, then I will go the route with loading it from kubejs.
