Need to re-write directory

[Dookie791]

Something is wrong with my minecraft, and I believe it can be fixed by using a different directory. I want it to access the neccessary files from a different location. It is currently located in /User/Jcarroll/Library/Application Support/minecraft and I want to relocate it to /User/Jcarroll/minecraft please just give me instructions and I can do the rest myself. I am using the .jar launcher from the official website.

This isn't a Java question... but can't you just select all in the minecraft folder and drag it to the Jcarroll folder?

Minecraft is written in java. I assumed that was obvious. When ever I move the folder, a new one is created in the old location.
