Understanding Minecraft Screenshot Location
Before we dive into the steps, it's essential to understand where Minecraft stores its screenshots. By default, the game saves screenshots in the following location on Mac:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/minecraft/screenshots
However, due to macOS's privacy features, this folder might be hidden. Don't worry; we'll guide you through accessing this folder in the next section.
Accessing the Hidden Library Folder
To access the hidden Library folder, follow these steps:
- Open Finder and click on the Go menu in the menu bar.
- Hold down the Option key and you'll see the Library option appear in the menu. Click on it.

Now that you've accessed the Library folder, follow these steps to find your Minecraft screenshots:
- Navigate to
Application Support. - Look for the
minecraftfolder and open it. - You'll find the
screenshotsfolder inside. Open it to view your Minecraft screenshots.
If you're using a version control system like Git, you might find the screenshots in a different location. In that case, look for the .minecraft folder in your home directory (/Users/YourUsername) instead.
