I have a friend who is playing with me on a server we've created. Unfortunately, he is on a Mac whereas I am on a Windows machine. I told him that I should be able to compile and send a .minecraft folder to him so that we can both play. Unfortunately, he can't find his .minecraft folder where it is supposed to be. Is it hidden and how can I unhide it?

If your friend is running Lion or later, 10.7+, the Library folder is hidden.
Open "Terminal" (located at /Applications/Utilities) and execute this command (shows all hidden folders and files):
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUEThen in "Terminal" use this command to close your find process:
killall FinderRestart Finder and all hidden folders should now be visible.
Now, in Finder, click on your User folder, then Library, Then Application Support. Your Minecraft folder is listed here.
To hide hidden files/folders in Finder execute this command in Terminal (then restart Finder):
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSEAlternatively, you can execute this command from Terminal to open your "Application Support" folder in a Finder window:
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/
