However, is that new in Sierra (or an old method deprecated by the time of El Capitan)? It doesn't work on my El Capitan setup, though others like ⇧⌘H and ⌥⌘L are working fine. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 18:00 | comment | added | grg | It just seemed weird that you went straight to Terminal and unhiding using chflags. ⇧⌘L (which is Apple's standard way of accessing the folder) is much easier than getting someone to run some command they may not understand directly into Terminal, let alone encouraging people to run random commands off the internet in their shell in the first place. Just my opinion | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @grgarside It's true that it's not necessary. But ironically, the less comfortable with the OS someone is (which is who Apple had in mind when making it default hidden), the harder those alternatives are and the more useful unhiding becomes, so I think it's a useful option to include. | |

You don't need to unhide the library folder to navigate to it as there's so many other ways, such as ⇧⌘L from Finder, or hold shift from Finder's Go menu, or to go straight to the minecraft folder ⇧⌘G from Finder and paste ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft.
