When creating a new game profile ("Installation") in the launcher for Minecraft Java Edition, you are able to specify a Game Directory where information specific to that profile will be stored.
Relative paths do work in this field - for example, if you create a profile to play on version 1.12.2, and for the profile's game directory you enter
profiles\vanilla-1.12.2
Everything works and the game launches. However, if you investigate the file system in the above folder, you see the directory structure is doubled - example below.
Specifying an absolute path does not experience the same issue, e.g.
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\profiles\vanilla-1.12.2
I think I can best explain this as a directory tree. So, this is what the folder looks like:
.minecraft
profiles
vanilla-1.12.2
logs
...
profiles
vanilla-1.12.2
resourcepacks
...
saves
...
realms_persistence.json
