Minecraft Save Game Location Mac

This article is about the folder in Java Edition. For the folder in Bedrock Edition, see com.mojang.

MCEdit: World Editor for Minecraft MCEdit is a saved game editor for Minecraft. Since Minecraft saved games contain every single element of the world the player is playing in, it has much more in common with 3D world, map, and terrain editors than traditional saved game editors.

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]

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.

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

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

  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.

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.
