Hello friends and family!
So I JUST built my computer last night, and it's my first time ever to do such a grand project. I booted my computer with my SSD as my main drive, so that way my OS would install on it. The problem is that my C: Drive is my SSD and .minecraft keeps installing on my C Drive. I tried opening the profile directory, but every time I even open the launcher, it still downloads .minecraft to Appdata. Is there any way I could fix this without using programs for bat files? Thanks for your help!
P.S
I apologize if I posted this on the wrong thread. This seemed more like a client problem through my POV.
Minecraft's "Game Directory" is simply where it stores profile-specific information (e.g. saves, resource packs, servers, options).
The launcher (and libraries and assets) will by default save to your local AppData folder. You can change it by opening the launcher with the--workDirparameter.
I think the OP though is confused about how they've set up their computer though.
Minecraft stores data in the space assigned to your windows user profile for storing application data. If you don't like Minecraft doing that, then you've probably put your user profiles in the wrong place. There will be more apps doing the same thing.
(Storing data this way makes it easier to back up your windows user profile, everything "you" is stored there)
