.minecraft

.minecraft (or simply minecraft in OS X) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the .jar files, sounds and music, personal options, worlds, etc.

Locating the .minecraft folder is vital to install several mods as the mod filesy need to be placed in various folders in .minecraft.

Location:
 * Windows: %Appdata%\Roaming\.minecraft (or %Appdata%\.minecraft in older windows versions)
 * Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
 * Linux: ~/.minecraft
