I'm trying to run Minecraft on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I downloaded the zip file (link here) from minecraft.net and unzipped it. Double clicked on the icon and it tells me, 'Minecraft' is damag. If you're a Mac user, you can open the folder through Spotlight: Press ⌘ Command + Space or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon in the right of the Menu Bar. Type /Library/Application Support/minecraft and hit ↵ Enter. Jul 05, 2012  Click on the 'Go' menu in the top menu bar. Hold down the 'Option' key on the keyboard 'Library' should appear in the menu between 'Home' and 'Computer' There you will find the 'Application Support.

.minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the .jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc.

Locating .minecraft[edit]

Locating the .minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack, or to locate any made screenshots.

Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.

The Windows location in the table above is just the default case. Launchers can set the .minecraft at any path.

If you're a Windows user and are unfamiliar with how to find your appdata folder, follow these steps:

1. Click Start → Run. If you don't see 'Run', press ⊞ Windows+R.
2. Type %APPDATA%.minecraft and click 'OK'.

If you're a Mac user, you can open the folder through Spotlight:

1. Press ⌘ Command+Space or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon in the right of the Menu Bar.
2. Type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft and hit ↵ Enter.

On Linux or macOS, the ~ in the path refers to the home directory. Folders starting with a . are hidden by default. In most file managers, hitting Ctrl + H toggles their hidden status.

.minecraft file hierarchy[edit]

Use of a resource pack can be forced by naming its zip file to resources.zip and placing it in the root folder of the world save.^[1] This feature is single-player only;^[2] however, there is another way for servers to ask clients if they want to use the server resource pack.

Using the installer

The easiest way to install Impact is by using the Installer. From the Installer's Releases page you can download the latest version of the installer. You should click on the .jar file in the Assets section of the latest release, for example:

Once you have downloaded the Installer jar, you need to run it with Java 1.8 or newer, so make sure you have Java installed first! It will run and look something like this:

Simply select the Minecraft, Impact and Baritone versions you wish to install and click the Install button. If compatible OptiFine versions have already been installed, you will be able to create a profile that makes use of one of them. See Adding OptiFine for more detail.

Manually installing

This guide is for Impact 4.5 and 4.6

Before installing, make sure that you have the corresponding versionVanilla 1.12.2 or Vanilla 1.13.2installed (start Minecraft with the corresponding version).

1. Open up 'Run' (WIN+R)
2. Type %appdata%
3. Press 'OK'
4. Open the folder .minecraft
5. Drag+Drop the 1.12.2-Impact_4.6 or 1.13.2-Impact_4.6 folder into versions
6. Launch Minecraft
7. Create a new profile using the just installed version
   • You may have to scroll through the versions drop down a bit
8. Launch the profile, and you're done!

Other operating systems

Rather than using WIN+R and navigating to %appdata%.minecraft, instead navigate to the .minecraft directory location for your Operating System. All subsequent steps are the same.

• Windows: %appdata%.minecraft
• Linux: ~/.minecraft
• Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
