On macOS the game data folder is at filepath:  <code>/users/{your username}/.config/VintagestoryData</code>. This is a different location from Windows/Linux, the reason is that historically that was where .NET applications were advised to place their data on macOS, and it has been kept that way ever since.

You can also find the data folder from inside the game: in the Main Menu, choose Singleplayer game, and then click Open Saves Folder instead of selecting a save. The Saves folder is a subfolder of the VintagestoryData folder.  Then in Finder, View menu, click Show Path Bar and you can see the full path of the VintagestoryData folder.


If you prefer to find the game data folder at some other location, the simplest solution is to create an alias for <code>/users/{your username}/.config/VintagestoryData</code> and then drag that alias to the new location.
