Copy the "assets" folder

2. Open your exported jar using the same program or a similar one
3. Copy over the "assets" folder from the 1.8.8 jar into your exported client's

2. Unzip the file
3. Move the file inside of your client's folder
4. Rename the file to your client's name² (keeping the json extension)
