Hello again,

I would like to move my .minecraft folder off of my SSD and onto my HDD but do not know what text to enter into a BAT file specifically for my drives. The drive location that I want to store this directory on is at Z:\my games\minecraft\.minecraft\

If you could help me out or show a better way that would be awesome :)

Thanks,
--J.T.

You can accomplish this by creating a .bat file. run the batch file where ever you want minecraft to be installed. If you use a desktop shortcut link the shortcut to the batch file.

copy and paste the following into a notepad file.

@echo off
Title Minecraft Launcher
set APPDATA=%CD%\
start %CD%\minecraft.exe

When you save the file save it a Minecraft.bat

Make sure the extension is .bat

Before running create a folder titled "bin" and another titled "data" within the same directory. Place the minecraft application in the bin folder. after ward you can launch the batch file.
