== Game data folder ==


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 for backwards compatibility reasons.

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.
