How do you get the minecraft install folder?

[gummby8 26]

We use a mod called Schematica that saves schematics to a folder .minecraft\Schematics or ServerRoot\Schematics.

 

I need to figure out how to create the path to that folder.

File file = new File(SomethingSomething + "\Schematics");
NBTTagCompound nbtdata = SchematicUtil.readTagCompoundFromFile(file);

 

Also where would I need to put the schematic folder for my Eclipse workspace to see it?

 

Thank you,

I am not sure, but I think the Minecraft class should have a field or a method to get the current dir in use.

Minecraft.getMinecraft().mcDataDir; // use on Client.jar, returns launch directory (game can be launched anywhere).
or
new File("."); // I use it for Dedicated.jar - gives you dir where you launched server (root).

 

Note that you need proxy for Minecraft.class call.

I believe...

 

new File(".");

 

..is what I am looking for since it will be grabbing the schematic files server side.

 

I had it make a directory at "./NERP"

 

It appears in the "run" folder in my Eclipse workbench

 

Huzza. Thanks
