Minecraft Forums

I am trying to save all files to my D: to save space on my C:. I downloaded the game, put it in my D:, and moved my .minecraft folder to my D:. I tried to create a .bat file to have all the data save to that folder instead of the appdata in the C:. The .bat file reads as

set appdata=%CD%
minecraft.exe
pause

I got ^that^ much from the forums.

Here's the error message i received when I try to use the .bat file:

"minecraft.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

I have been researching this for a few days and can't seem to find the answer on my own.

Thank you for your time,

minecraft.exe has to be in that directory too, or in your PATH variable, or you have to include the full path to it in the batch file.

@ECHO OFF
set APPDATA=%cd%
start /B javaw -jar Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap

As far as Game Directory, I really do not know how one can go about that, it would need to be set possibly each time, unless the drive letter never changes.

Thank you for responding. They are in the same directory.

I just had to change the name of the icon. it was Minecraft(3) so it wasn't registering as minecraft.exe. Haha! thanks to your help, I am a genius!
