👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
.minecraft (or simply 👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
minecraft on macOS) is the game directory of Minecraft: Java Edition and the launcher directory of the Minecraft Launcher.
The game directory stores data managed by the game client, such as game configuration, worlds and resource packs. The launcher directory stores data managed by the launcher, such as its own configuration, the game client program, game libraries and assets. Those two directories, while technically distinct, are normally unified (in the default layout) into 👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
.minecraft.

Locating the 👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
.minecraft directory may be necessary in order to load a resource pack for use in the game, or to locate any made screenshots.
The path in the table above is the default configuration. Launchers can place 👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
.minecraft at any path.
On a Windows computer, the 👁 File directory.png: Sprite image for directory in Minecraft
%APPDATA% directory may be accessed by using the Run command (accessed with the + keyboard shortcut, or from the Start menu). It can also be accessed from Windows Explorer, by typing %APPDATA% into the address bar and pressing .
On macOS, the game directory may be accessed by opening Finder, pressing + + , typing ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft and pressing . It can also be accessed via Spotlight.
On Linux or macOS, the ~ in the path refers to the home directory. Files starting with . are hidden by default. In most file managers, pressing + toggles viewing hidden files. In macOS specifically, since version 10.12 (Sierra), pressing + + toggles viewing hidden files.
Changing the game directory path can be done per installation in the Minecraft Launcher. Changing the launcher directory path can be done by using the --workDir command-line parameter (see Tutorial:Custom Minecraft directory).
The default location of the game directory is the launcher directory, so changing the launcher directory is sufficient if it is desirable for both of them to be moved to another place.
The complete directory structure is a combination of the game directory and the launcher directory.
