I wanted to put beta 1.7.3 into it's own custom location but it never puts it into the location. If I put the files into the custom location it redownloads into the default location. I made a folder called Minecraft and put it into my C drive and within the Minecraft folder I put a folder called 1.7.3. Then I put C:\Minecraft\1.7.3 into the game directory entry in the profile editor and clicked the checkbox to activate it. Any thing I'm doing wrong?
Is it possable to have my .minecraft folder in another location?
YES!!! You can even choose where it goes!
HERE IS HOW: (WINDOWS SOLUTION ONLY)
Use a batch file to allow minecraft to quickly and easily install into an empty folder.
make a new text document and name it "minecraft.txt" open it with notepad and type the code in red.
set appdata=%CD%
minecraft.exe
Place the newly created minecraft.txt and the minecraft.exe files into a new folder. rename the extension "minecraft.txt" to "minecraft.bat"
activate the batch file... First run will be slow... new folders are being generated.
second activation wont create new folders but you must use the batch file to launch minecraft.exe every time.
otherwise it will load the default application data folder.
THIS STEP IS JUST INFORMATIVE:
It explains how the batch file works.
That will open minecraft.exe and set the current directory to run as appdata so the game data and world save get downloaded/saved wherever you run the batch from.
