This article is about the folder in Java Edition. For the folder in Bedrock Edition, see com.mojang.
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
.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
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.
| OS | Location |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\.minecraft
|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
|
| Linux | ~/.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:
- Click Start → Run. If you don't see "Run", press ⊞ Windows + R.
- Type
%APPDATA%\.minecraftand 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 in the right of the Menu Bar.
- Type
~/Library/Application Support/minecraftand 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
| List |
|---|

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.

When killed by a [[player]] or a tamed [[wolf]], a [[drowned]] has a 11% ({{frac|11|100}}) chance of dropping a copper ingot. With the [[Looting]] enchantment, the chance can be increased to 13% ({{frac|13|100}}) with Looting I, 15% ({{frac|3|20}}) with Looting II, and 17% ({{frac|17|100}}) with Looting III.

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.
== Obtaining ==
The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].
== Usage ==
=== Brewing ingredient ===
Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing
|name=[[Lingering Potion]]
|showname=1

When put 2 or more dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, a glass bottle will drop as an [[Item (entity)|entity]]. However, if put only 1 dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, the glass bottle is consumed and cannot be retrieved.<ref>{{bug|MC-259583}}</ref>

An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]] or can be obtained from chests in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
An [[amethyst cluster]] mined using a non-[[Silk Touch]], non-[[Fortune]] [[pickaxe]] drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, [[item]] or mechanism (such as [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance for eight shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give eight or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.
If the amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

=== Allay duplication ===
If an amethyst shard is given to an [[allay]] that is currently dancing to an active [[jukebox]], the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cool down until both allays can be duplicated like this again.

'''minecraft:dupe_hack''' is a joke item from [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]].
==Obtaining==
Once the <code>dupe_hack_occurrence_chance</code> vote is approved the '''dupe hack''' item has a random chance of dropping whenever an entity with chests is killed by a player, e.g. when destroying a [[Minecart with Chest|minecart with chest]] with a [[sword]].
It doesn't appear in the [[creative]] menu, not even when the [[Options#Controls|option]] "Operator Items Tab" is enabled, but can be given to the player with [[Commands/give|<code>/give</code>]] and other commands.
==Usage==
The dupe hack item can be used to create a limited amount of duplicate items by placing it on a [[crafting table]] with any other item. It has a random chance of breaking, controlled by the <code>dupe_hack_break_chance</code> vote. This limitation can be mostly bypassed by putting the items in an [[Ender Chest|ender chest]] first and duplicating the chest.
