How to Make a Desktop Shortcut for Minecraft

Wondering how to make your Minecraft gaming sessions just a click away? You’re in the right place! Let’s dive into creating a desktop shortcut for Minecraft, ensuring your blocky adventures are always within easy reach.

So, you’re looking to skip the search and jump straight into Minecraft? No problem! Crafting a desktop shortcut is a simple and nifty way to do just that.

Quick Steps to Minecraft Shortcut Magic

First things first, let’s get that shortcut set up. Depending on your computer (PC or Mac), the process is just a tad different, but worry not, both are as easy as pie!

For PC users, navigate to the Minecraft Launcher file, usually found in your “Program Files” or “Applications” folder. Right-click on the MinecraftLauncher.exe, select ‘Send to,’ then choose ‘Desktop (create shortcut).’ Voilà! You’re all set.

Mac users, your journey starts in the “Applications” folder. Find Minecraft, then simply drag and drop it to your desktop. This creates an alias (Mac’s version of a shortcut) without moving the actual application. Easy, right?
