Datapacks should be able to use an assets folder

For both Data packs and Resource packs, the file structure only has 1 difference, in the root directory, data packs have a \data\ folder, and resource packs have an \assets\ folder. So why not allow installed data packs that have an \assets\ to also be applied as a resource pack?

This would make large data packs much simpler to install, and would remove the hassle of applying potentially several resource packs every time you want to play in a specific world.

    100% agree, it would also be really cool for being able to have a texture pack stuck to a world without constantly changing it
