Minecraft – Finding a file for minecraft

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I can't find my Minecraft file in windows 10, I have tried to look in %AppData%, Roaming, Microsoft apps, etc. I have searched my computer a lot and it seems like the file doesn't exist for some reason, I know I own Minecraft 1.10 and all the things that come with it but the file won't show up.

The Mojang site has a list of all the locations to find your files, based on OS and version.

For the Java version:

The remaining launcher files can be found by starting the launcher, logging in, going to "Launch options", choosing a launch configuration from the list ("Latest release" is the default) and clicking the little green arrow to the right of the "Game directory" option.

And the Bedrock Edition (Windows 10 Edition):

Press Win+R, then type %appdata%.minecraft, then press Ok.

However, if something odd happened (like the directory changed for some reason) you can go to your menu, choose the Resource Pack, then click on "Open Resource Pack Folder". This should open up the relevant Minecraft directory. From here you should be able to navigate back up to where your world save is stored.

How

Assuming you're okay with using command blocks you can kinda set up a trap like this:
Type this in the chat while in-game on any opped account:

/give @s repeating_command_block

Now type this:

/gamerule commandblockoutput false

You must be in creative mode.
Then you can put a bait chest down, maybe put diamond or something in it.
Place the command block a few blocks below the chest and put this command into the input field:

tag @a[r=20] add sus

Then on the left there will be a select bar that says "Needs Redstone". Click on it and select "Always Active".

Now you can always type this in the chat window:

/testfor @a[tag=sus]

Now anyone who entered the area who is online will appear in chat. This will be permanently attached to them unless you were to manually remove it.

Notes

Of course not everyone who enters the area is nefarious, so make sure to put it somewhere it is obvious you are not allowed to go
Everyone will appear, so your kids and you included. Obviously you can ignore yourself.
Only people online will appear, however once they rejoin the game will still remember, so it will be permanently attached to them.
Don't fret! Other players will not be able to pull up the GUI you used to make this system, and they cannot break the block either.

Cons/Solutions

Only people online will appear, you can use Universal Minecraft Editor if you send a world to the Mac, but I will not go over how to do that as that is rather complicated and I am not sure how to look through someone's tags.
