I can't find that folder even if I search in the start menu or in file explorer. It's important because I need to find it to download minecraft mods.

    Hello,

    The folder is hidden folder. Have you unchecked Hidden items option in File Explorer > View?

    Regards.

    Hi,

    it is an alias of real folder and real path may be different. Usually it is a folder in your profile

    Run a command

    set app

    and you'll see the real path of %appdata%
