That's actually genius. I actually know how to do it but this method never crossed my mind. Thanks man! Now my C will be clean of games now, since I want to put all games on my D drive. The arrow on %appdata% for .minecraft is just a shortcut of the MinecraftTest on D drive, for those who are wondering. How do you find out about this though?
I can't open the Minecraft launcher after doing this. It gives me a windows warning saying that the app cannot be launched due to the save being disconnected?
"%appdata\.minecraft%" may point to an Admin account if your normal user account is not an admin in which case use "C:\Users\ADD-YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft" instead swapping your user name.
Hey so I did this a few months ago but it's been lagging my game due to the harddrive I installed it on.. do you have any ways to reverse it and have it go back to the C-drive? Thanks!
Yes! You can just delete the symbolic link, move the minecraft folder to where it originally was, and finally rename your minecraft folder to .minecraft.
Since the dawn of times I've been battling with the Minecraft launcher because of this, thanks
glad to help ;)
Thank you
I was wondering how to do this. You’re so smart! ❤
