Arqade Asked by JocWiil on September 25, 2021
I am trying to move Minecraft Java over to my SSD (S:) from my HDD (C:), but the issue I am having is that Minecraft is not fully moved over to the (S:) drive.
After moving the launcher and the directory file over to the (S:) drive and launching the game, a new directory is made in the place of the old one in the Roaming file on my (C:) drive. Thus I am having three issues because of this:
My previous attempt to ask this question got it flagged as a duplicate question, likely a fault in my wording, and at the time, my lack of understanding of what the true issue was (or likely still is). As such I was only getting band-aid fixes or redirect fixes.
So I want to layout the Goal for my question as clear as I can:
Assuming by the drive names you are on Windows. The launcher creates the .minecraft
folder in wherever folder the %APPDATA%
environment variable points to. You can manipulate this variable before running the launcher:
Put the launcher exe on the SSD e.g. S:MinecraftMinecraft.exe
Create a bat
file, e.g. S:MinecraftMinecraft.bat
and put inside (copy/paste this, you need to be exact with the quotes):
set APPDATA=S:Minecraft
start "" "S:MinecraftMinecraft.exe"
Start the game with S:MinecraftMinecraft.bat
The launcher will create the .minecraft
folder in S:Minecraft
.
I think there is another way to do this if you create a shortcut to the launcher. Then you can set the environment variable from the shortcut's advanced properties. This however requires a few screenshots to demonstrate which I am unable to produce at the moment.
