I have a PC dual booted with Linux and Windows and Minecraft is installed on both. Now sometimes I play Minecraft in Linux and sometimes in Windows. I want to know if I could change the location where worlds are saved to a hard drive that is shared by both operating systems, so that I can use the same world on both operating systems.

Best Answer
The Minecraft launcher allows you to change the folder it places your saves in (among other things) via the profile settings.
Create a "Minecraft" folder on a shared drive. Make sure you have read/write access to this folder from both Windows and Linux.
Start the Minecraft Launcher and click on Installations
Hover over the profile you want to change, click on ..., then Edit.
Enter the folder on your shared drive in the Box labeled "Game Directory". The game will now place
saves,resourcepacks,screenshotsandcrash-reports(maybe some more folders) in this Directory.Repeat on the other OS.
