As an alternative, search Windows (using Windows Search, Cortana, or a program like Everything, which is a lot faster) for the file realmspersistence.json (or other files that are unique to Minecraft). This file, as part of Minecraft, can be found in the folder you're looking for, even if for some reason the.minecraft folder's name got changed, or if it's no longer in C:Users.user.AppData. Jun 02, 2013 I understand about AppData Roaming but my problem is with a file called ad0fefbf.aed6f7437 and it is hidden in C: Users Username AppData Roaming 121a9261. It keeps popping up looking for an app to open it after every start and restart. I can't find it in the startup folder either and I don't know how to stop it. Google has no information on it.
Live files are usually stored in two locations, the Roaming and Local folders contained within the AppData folder (Users your usernameAppData) To open the AppData folder on Windows 10, 8 & 7: Open File Explorer/Windows Explorer Type%AppData% into the address bar and hit enter.

.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]
Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.
OS | Location |
---|---|
Windows | %APPDATA%.minecraft |
macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft |
Linux | ~/.minecraft |
Locating the .minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack or to locate any made screenshots.
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:
- Click Start → Run. If you don't see 'Run', press ⊞ Windows + R.
- Type
%APPDATA%.minecraft
and click 'OK'.
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 on the right of the Menu Bar.
- 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. In macOS specifically, since version 10.12 (Sierra), the shortcut ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + . toggles the hidden status of files.
If you want to change directory of the .minecraft folder, see Tutorials/Custom Minecraft directory.
.minecraft file hierarchy[edit]
Copy apk from android to pc. 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.
For windows OS and linux, the contents of nativelog.txt
and nativeUpdaterLog.txt
can be found within launcher_log.txt
when applicable (i.e. the contents ofnativeUpdaterLog.txt
will only be present in latest_log.txt
after the launcher is updated / launched for the first time).
