For some reason, I accidentally deleted my entire minecraft folder in the application support folder. Now I can not find a way to get it reinstalled...
Heres what I've tried:
1) Force updated. Folder did not reappear in app. support.
2) Looked in every available folder on my computer for it. Nothing.
3) deleted and reinstalled minecraft. Several times. Still gone.
I can still play minecraft on my computer and play on my single player worlds but I can not install mods, texture packs, or download worlds.
after spending 4 hours scouring the internet. I am yet to find a solution. If anybody could help me, oh my, I would be SOOOO grateful as it's been like this for the past 6 months!
The complete path to the folder 'minecraft' is <Startvolume>/Users/<You>/Library/Application Support/minecraft
This is often abbreviated as
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
Use Finder's 'Go' menu, there's an entry 'Library'. Since Lion you have to press option ('alt', ⌥) for the entry to appear.
Use Finder's 'Go to folder...' command (⇧⌘G) and copy / paste the abbreviation line above.
Snapshot 12w24a enables the 'Open texture pack folder' in 'Texture Packs' screen. Navigate from there to /bin, /saves etc.
Apple chose to hide the user's Library since Lion, to unhide it type in Terminal
chflags nohidden ~/LibraryTo make things worse, the home folder is not in the sidebar by default, you can change this in 'Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Favorites'. While you're at it, you may wish to add your start volume, too ('Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > Hard disks').
Note: every 'minus' in front of /Library is in fact a tilde ~ (⌥N) and refers to your home folder, the entry 'Home' (⇧⌘H) in Finder's 'Go' menu takes you there.
There are other Library folders in Mac OS X, at least three (3) in total. If Minecraft works and you don't see a /minecraft in /Application Support, you're definitely looking at one of the two other Libraries. Learn more about Mac OS X's domain system - scroll down a bit to Domains and The Second Level.
For the few of you who did read this paragraph, there's a reward: a simple script (Intel only) that does some basic tasks, like opening the /minecraft folder.

If it was NOT there, then minecraft would NOT work.
Read Sko's topic for detailed info on finding the folder.
