so, I cannot find an option in the Minecraft launcher to change the storage folder?
"Game directory" in the individual installation settings
ah, that? how should it interact with the profile isolation option?
Perhaps the profiles could be inside that folder?
So something like ~/.minecraft/FOversions/4.10.4
what
Minecraft usually stores its instance files on .minecraft
.
The default assumption is that this folder exists on %appdata%\.minecraft
or ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
or ~/.minecraft
, but it may not always be the case (e.g. external drive). So, just like the launcher itself, and installers like Fabric's, this installer should have an option to let the user change its path.
Once changed, the folder should be used for both isolated and non-isolated installations of FO, where isolated should be a subfolder and non-isolated the folder itself.
sorry for not doing anything for a while; was busy with other stuff I still can't find the option to change the instance folder on the launcher; the screenshot you sent only applies to the individual profile

Yes, but there is no need for that option in the launcher. Just keep the path stored in a config file (or similar) for the installer and use that path for every instance installed to the launcher. Or, more accurately, every new instance, there is no need to change older instances if the installer path changes.
so, an option to have the profile folder in a place other than .minecraft
or .minecraft/fabulously-optimized-${mc_version}
?
One folder path option for ~/.minecraft
part and one checkbox to choose whether to have subfolders by instance or use just the root of the .minecraft path.
github apparently doesn't like me trying to close two issues with one commit
Not everyone may have the game in the default folder
