I just installed windows 8 and I can't figure out how to get to the .minecraft folder. I searched for %appdata% and Roaming and .minecraft and it doesn't show anything.
i have no folder I recently reset my laptop because it was being a pain including being slow.
I downloaded minecraft as well as some mods but the problem is that I cant find my minecraft folder at all I have a windows 8 asus laptop.....
if you are running off the new launcher then when you open the Minecraft launcher click "Edit Profile" located in the bottom left corner of the launcher. Then click "Open Game Dir." It should take you to the .Minecraft folder
How to configure Windows to show file extensions and hidden files
In order to avoid confusion regarding your saved files, you may want to configure Windows to show all common file extensions, such as .zip. This will help differentiate between different archives (and other files). You may also want to configure Windows to show you hidden files and folders. Both involve using the same Control Panel applet. Here are the steps:
Windows 8:
1. On the Start menu screen start typing "Control"
2. When you see Control Panel under Apps, click it
3. If you are in the Category view, click the drop down menu and choose either Large icons or Small icons
4. Open Folder Options
5. Click on the View tab at the top of the dialog box
To see file extensions, uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types
To see hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives
6. Click OK
Windows 7, Vista, and XP:
1. Click Start and open the Control Panel
2. Windows 7: If you are in the Category view, click the drop down menu and choose either Large icons or Small icons
Windows Vista or Windows XP: Switch to the Classic View if you are not already in this view
3. Open Folder Options
4. Click on the View tab at the top of the dialog box
To see file extensions, uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types
To see hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives
Thanks.
