Files and Backups
Everything Minecraft saves is in your home folder, under:
~/snap/mc-installer/current/.minecraft/
In the Files app, press Ctrl+H to show hidden folders (the ones starting with a dot), then open snap, mc-installer, current and .minecraft.
| Folder | What's in it |
|---|---|
saves |
Your singleplayer worlds, one folder each |
screenshots |
Pictures taken in the game with F2 |
resourcepacks, shaderpacks
|
Resource packs and shaders you add |
mods |
Mods for a Fabric profile that uses the shared folder |
profiles/fabric-<version>/ |
Fabric profiles made by the MC Mods app: their own mods, saves, settings and more |
logs/latest.log |
What happened the last time the game ran (useful for Troubleshooting) |
The simplest way: copy the saves folder (and any profiles folder) to a USB stick or another computer. To bring a world back, copy its folder into saves again.
Or let snap make a copy of everything for you:
sudo snap save mc-installer
snap saved lists the copies, and sudo snap restore <number> puts one back (Minecraft must be closed). These copies are kept on this computer, so they won't help if the disk fails.
Install the snap on the new computer, open Minecraft once and sign in, close it, then copy your saves folder (and profiles, if you use mods) into the same place.
