![]() If I want to use some data (saves and such) as a basis for a new profile, I first copy the directory to a new one, create the new profile in the launcher (click "New Profile" when the one I'm copying is the selected profile), and after starting up that profile, (if necessary) do manual editing of the $HOME/.minecraft/versions/ profilename/ profilename.json when it is needed to have it actually keep some necessary data (if same version of Minecraft and wanting to keep Forge, for example).If and when I want to share a file and keep it shared (for better or for worse) I would symlink to it from one profile in the other(s).For example, vanilla 1.7.4 I have put at homedir/.minecraftProfiles/1.7.4-vanilla. minecraftProfiles and I put each separate profile in its own subdirectory. What I have done for this is I have created a directory under my $HOME called. (Note that I doubt it will expand shell variables, but it works just fine with symbolic links if you use those) It will automatically create the directory if it doesn't exist on next launch of the profile. Check the box labeled "Game Directory" and fill in a location to put it.If you are using the latest vanilla launcher: If you need any more information, feel free to ask. Would this create any security conflicts, or is this perfectly okay? alias minecraft="java -jar $HOME/.minecraft/launcher.jar" If I were to copy over the 3 launcher files (launcher.jar,, launcher_profiles.json), would that suffice? But that raises another issue: How would I get the alias to point to either game directory? Are you able to just launch the launcher file in the. This works just fine, but this isn't the ACTUAL launcher, I believe, as there's I understand the problem with this, but I'm unsure of what to do about it.Īlias minecraft="java -jar $HOME/Games/Minecraft.jar" minecraft/versions/1.6.4 folder to the new game directory for my profile and begin adding mods that way? If not, how does one achieve what I'm looking for: Two profiles using the same version of Minecraft with different mods?Įdit: Copying over the /versions/1.6.4 folder to the new game directory doesn't work, as when you try to install MCForge, it gives an error about a launcher file (or the lack of one). All it did differently was store the world save data and texture packs in the. I tried setting my profile to a different game directory (.minecraft2 for simple tests), but I noticed that it didn't re-download the 1.6.4 game, but actually kept using it from the original. What I'd like to get to happen is have my profile also using 1.6.4, but with different mods, but I'm unsure how to break up MCForge's mod folder into different profiles. When I start the launcher, it has both of our profiles (his with 1.6.4 with mods and mine with vanilla 1.7.4). However, a problem arises when I went to actually set that up: I can't seem to separate the mods. As it is right now, my brother has version 1.6.4 with Feed The Beast, I used to play vanilla 1.7.4, but after seeing the Vein Miner mod, I decided to switch over to 1.6.4 just for that.
