So I was reading the following trying to solve a problem I'm having, but none of the answers were good enough for my specific situation. Essentially, I'm trying to run multiple versions of Minecraft on the same Linux machine. I'm pretty sure that there is someway of writing a Bash script to change the folder where the app data for the game is stored. However, it's been awhile since I've written even the simplest bash scripts and I want to make sure I don't f-anything up.
Does anyone know what command I would need to run to maintain multiple installations of Minecraft for LINUX? Thanks!

A very easy way to do it is through the use of MagicLauncher. It will let you create multiple configurations in the launcher for which Minecraft bin files to run.
