CodePudding user response：

Your output directory is not correct.

In Windows, there is only one : allowed after specifying the drive letter. Your path

C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2022.2\jbr\bin\C:\Users\user\Downloads\mymod\out\production\mymod.main\assets\modid\icon.png

specifies the path starting from the drive letter (the C drive) twice.

Redo the optional, but recommended step of setting the output directory and make sure the path is valid.
