How to Move Minecraft to Another Drive: A Simple Guide

Ever found yourself needing more space on your computer and wondering, “How can I move Minecraft to another drive?” You’re not alone! It’s a common question among gamers looking to free up some space without losing their game progress.

So, how do you actually move Minecraft to a different drive? Let’s dive right into the steps to make it happen smoothly.

Quick Steps to Move Minecraft

Moving Minecraft to another drive is simpler than you might think. First, ensure you’ve closed the game and the Minecraft Launcher. This prevents any file corruption or transfer errors.

Next, navigate to where Minecraft is currently installed on your computer. By default, it’s usually in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft folder for Windows users. Once you’ve located the Minecraft folder, simply cut and paste it into the new drive or location of your choice.

Settling Into the New Location

After moving the folder, you’ll need to tell the Minecraft Launcher where the game now resides. Open the Launcher, click on Installations, and hover over your game installation. Click on the folder icon, then select the new path where you’ve moved Minecraft. This step ensures that the Launcher can locate and run the game from its new home smoothly.

Remember, this method works for the default Minecraft installation. If you’re using a third-party launcher or mod packs, you may need to follow additional steps specific to those setups.
