Forge cant find minecraft folder

[xtheeliminator1]

Shows this error: 

 

 

There is no minecraft directory set up. Either choose an alternative, or run the minecraft launcher to create one

C:\Users\Luke\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

 

I literally have Minecraft running in the background.

Where is your Minecraft directory?

Point the installer to your Minecraft directory.

Weird thing is I cant find it. Like at all.

Even searching the local app data still wont bring it up.

I'm tearing through to see where it's stored. This came straight off the Microsoft store.

Are you playing the Win10 Edition?

Forge does not support the Win10 Edition.

Fuck. That's it then. Thanks for the help.

Purchasing the Java Edition gives you the Win10 Edition for free.

AFAIK it does not work the other way around.

Literally just went, bought, installed Java Minecraft and am now using forge. Haha. Thanks again

On topic of minecraft directory, where can you find its file?
