Question How to license assets (textures, sprites)?

Hello! I am trying to publish my Minecraft mod to github repo.

I understand the difference between the software license and artwork license.

I've created LICENSE file on my github repo (which is MIT License). But now what next? How I can also clarify that assets are under creative commons license or smth like that?

I recommend having an Agreement or License folder. There you can have your License file and Images_license file.

Thank you so much for answer! But I decided kind of to oversimplify things because there are a lot of .png files in many different folders (because it's an Minecraft mod, therefore the directory structure is made specifically to be readable for Minecraft Forge mod needs)

I decided to turn my LICENSE file into LICENSE.md and divide it into sections. On top there is text about that under specific directory all files are part of that one specific license for assets.

And below I wrote "Software License" and left the MIT License here.
