The Metadata type should be independent and represent any .mcmeta file for any key.
This would remove the Metadatable interface and remove Metadata from the Texture class
Why?
Metadata have their own files, so, they are independent, they may function as replacements by overlays or filters for other resource packs.
Currently, independent metadata (metadata that is not attached to an existing file) is completely ignored and discarded by the MinecraftResourcePackReader class.
However, this would make Texture & other classes usage more complex and time-consuming.
