How to get into the .minecraft folder?

[starwarsmace]

So I need to get a file from the .minecraft folder. Is that possible? I have seen mods like Not Enough Items and Flans do it. So how would I do this? any pointers?

[starwarsmace]

Its a YAML file. See what I actually need to do, is get into the plugins folder on a server, and get a file from one of the plugin folders. So yeah its called regions.yml

Its from the worldguard plugin.

MinecraftServer().getServer().getFile("plugins/.../someFile.ext")

Oh cool. But do I have to check if its on an smp?

[starwarsmace]

No. In SinglePlayer this would return the "plugins" folder inside the .minecraft.

Ohhh... That makes sense. Thanks for your help.

And one more question on that. If there is no file inside .minecraft will it make it? Because, i would rather not have random empty folders in peoples .minecraft.

No, it will just return a File object.

Thats awesome! Thanks for helping!
