How to Access the AppData Folder on Mac The AppData folder equivalent in Mac is called /Library folder. Method I: Step #1: In the finder menu, click on Go Library. Step #2: Click on Finder Preferences. Step #3: Under the Devices section, check the Hard disks option. The /Library folder is hidden by default in the Mac finder.

  1. Minecraft Bug on Mac. If you're using Minecraft 2.0.792 on macOS, then you're probably affected by the Minecraft Launcher bug. Mojang has immediately worked on the issue and released a fix for the bug. But if you have installed the update with the bug fix and you still can't launch Minecraft on your Mac, Mojang recommends doing the following.
  2. Learn which version of Minecraft is right for you. Compare the different platforms Minecraft is available on and which versions of Minecraft you should get.
This article is about the folder in Java Edition. For the folder in Bedrock Edition, see com.mojang.
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

.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.

Locating .minecraft[edit]

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

OSLocation
Windows%APPDATA%.minecraft
macOS~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
Linux~/.minecraft

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

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 on 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. In macOS specifically, since version 10.12 (Sierra), the shortcut ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + . toggles the hidden status of files.


If you want to change directory of the .minecraft folder, see Tutorials/Custom Minecraft directory.

.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.

For windows OS and linux, the contents of nativelog.txt and nativeUpdaterLog.txt can be found within launcher_log.txt when applicable (i.e. the contents ofnativeUpdaterLog.txt will only be present in latest_log.txt after the launcher is updated / launched for the first time).
