How do I get the mods directory/path from code?

Using

Minecraft.getMinecraft().mcDataDir.getAbsolutePath();

will get you till the .minecraft folder. You probably know what you need to do to go the themods folder from that.

I suggest you to look into Chicken-Bones CommonUtils Class, here: https://github.com/Chicken-Bones/CodeChickenCore/blob/master/src/codechicken/core/CommonUtils.java#L35-L37

 

For the mods folder use this

 

public static File getModsFolder(){
return new File(getMinecraftDir(), "mods");
}

 

It's kinda a complicated route but it works

Thanks both
