MCL-11315Relative paths in Game Directory are used twice
When creating a new game profile ("Installation") in the launcher for Minecraft Java Edition, you are able to specify a Game Directory where information specific to that profile will be stored.
Relative paths do work in this field - for example, if you create a profile to play on version 1.12.2, and for the profile's game directory you enter
profiles\vanilla-1.12.2
Everything works and the game launches. However, if you investigate the file system in the above folder, you see the directory structure is doubled - example below.
Specifying an absolute path does not experience the same issue, e.g.
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\profiles\vanilla-1.12.2
I think I can best explain this as a directory tree. So, this is what the folder looks like:
- .minecraft
- profiles
- vanilla-1.12.2
- logs
- ...
- profiles
- vanilla-1.12.2
- resourcepacks
- ...
- saves
- ...
- realms_persistence.json
- resourcepacks
- vanilla-1.12.2
- logs
- vanilla-1.12.2
- profiles
