Minecraft – Cannot find .minecraft folder

minecraft-java-editionpc

I see everyone using mods in Minecraft go into their File Explorer, type in %appdata% in the top search bar, and then in that folder they have a Minecraft folder in which there should be a mod file (you can make your own mod folder). The thing is that I can't find the Minecraft folder in `%appdata%.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Go in here:

C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft

Make sure you turned on hidden items.

For turn on hidden items, go in your file explorer and click the "View" in top of the screen and then turn on "Hidden items".

The culprit

Cannot run program "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe"
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

This is Windows saying that it cannot execute a file at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe because it cannot find such a file. The most likely cause is that the file does not exist.

Verify that your Minecraft profile points to the Java installation you want to use. Since you appear to be running a 64-bit OS, you may want to run a 64-bit version of Java for overall better performance.

But I installed Java, more than once even!

all java has been downloaded

Out of security concerns, Oracle's Java installers may opt to remove versions of Java that are outdated or end-of-life. If you've installed version 8 after you installed version 7, the former may have removed the latter (though it should ask you whether you want to remove older versions).

The easiest way to keep an older Java (JRE) installed, if you need to, is to install the highest version first. Older versions will not remove newer versions.
