Minecraft directory doesn't have a 'Resource Packs' folder?
I go into my .minecraft folder and there's Assets and all the other files and folders, but no resource packs folder?
If I create one manually, and place the textures inside, they don't show up in-game.
I'm on a Mac.

If you rename the .minecraft folder temporarily to say, .minecraft-old, then run the game, this will force it to redownload everything. Then, start a new (temporary) world, and exit. This should recreate the missing folder.
After you've done this, you can copy your old worlds from the .minecraft-old directory into the new .minecraft directory.

In order to locate the folder, you may go into the game, navigate to options then resource packs. At the bottom the screen there should be a button that says "Open Resource pack folder" Click that and the folder will open.
