From editor to game
When saving a material in the editor, its game files get generated automatically.
While the editor file of the material can be found in your mod's data folder under "Data/Editor/Mods/YourMod/Assets/Materials",
the game files can be found at "Data/Public/YourMod/Assets/Materials"
To be able to use the material in-game, you'll have to make a material resource with the generated .lsb file from the Public folder as source.
