.minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the.jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc. However, if you're using a different launcher for the client (for example, if your server is FTB or Technic, the client files are stored elsewhere so that vanilla Minecraft is left intact and unmodded), the minecraft folder will be in a different location, so you can't simply go directly to. Welcome to the Minecraft Launcher Bug Tracker! You can report bugs you've found in the Minecraft Launcher specifically using this bug tracker. This is not for help or support, please see this helpful article if you need help with Minecraft. If you need help with your Minecraft account, contact our support team at help.mojang.com.

Locating .minecraft[edit]

Locating the .minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack, or to locate any made screenshots.

Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.

The Windows location in the table above is just the default case. Launchers can set the .minecraft at any path.

If you're a Windows user and are unfamiliar with how to find your appdata folder, follow these steps:

1. Click Start → Run. If you don't see 'Run', press ⊞ Windows+R.
2. Type %APPDATA%.minecraft and click 'OK'.

If you're a Mac user, you can open the folder through Spotlight:

1. Press ⌘ Command+Space or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon in the right of the Menu Bar.
2. Type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft and hit ↵ Enter.

On Linux or macOS, the ~ in the path refers to the home directory. Folders starting with a . are hidden by default. In most file managers, hitting Ctrl + H toggles their hidden status.

.minecraft file hierarchy[edit]

Use of a resource pack can be forced by naming its zip file to resources.zip and placing it in the root folder of the world save.^[1] This feature is single-player only;^[2] however, there is another way for servers to ask clients if they want to use the server resource pack.
