Find your Minecraft folder (Windows) Java and Bedrock

How do I tell if I have Java or Bedrock?

The easiest way for me is to open the game. On the title screen if it says MINCRAFT JAVA EDITION, it’s java. If it just says Minecraft it’s Bedrock.

IF YOU HAVE JAVA EDITION….

1. Press the start button and the R key at the same time (or click on the address bar in file explorer)
2. Enter %appdata%
3. Click OK
4. The .minecraft folder should be right there

To do it the long way,

1. Open file explorer
2. Click This PC
3. Open your hard drive (Usually Windows (C:))
4. Open “users”
5. Open your username (if there are multiple, it helps to see which was modified most recently. Try whichever folder was modified most recently that you have access to open)
6. Open Appdata (if Appdata doesn’t show up, see below)
7. Open Roaming
8. .Minecraft should be there

IF YOU HAVE BEDROCK EDITION…

1. Press the start button and the R key at the same time (or click on the address bar in file explorer)
2. Enter %localappdata%
3. Click OK
4. Open the Packages folder
5. Look for and open the folder that starts with Microsoft.MincraftUWP (by default it’s in alphabetical order)
6. Open the Localstate folder
7. Open the Games folder
8. Open the com.mojang folder

To do it the long way,

1. Open file explorer

6. Open Appdata (if Appdata doesn’t show up, see below)
7. Open Local
8. Open the packages folder
9. Look for and open the folder that starts with Microsoft.MincraftUWP (by default it’s in alphabetical order)
10. Open the Localstate folder
11. Open the Games folder
12. Open the com.mojang folder

Random tip: You can find your worlds in the minecraftWorlds folder, but in Bedrock edition their names are confusing as heck! How do you know which Bedrock world is which?? Open any of them, then open the “levelname” note and it will tell you the name of the world.

If the Appdata folder does not show up:

For Windows 10,

1. In file explorer, click the three dot icon at the top
2. Click options
3. Click the view tab
4. Select “show hidden files, folders, and drives” from the list
5. Click apply
6. Click OK

For Windows 11,

1. In file explorer, click the view tab
2. Click options all the way on the right
3. Click the view tab
4. Select “show hidden files, folder, and drives” from the list
5. Click apply
6. Click OK

I HOPE THAT HELPED SOMEBODY
