Here is a workaround for Linux

Remove symlink:

rm -f ~/.minecraft

Create empty folder:

mkdir ~/.minecraft 

Bind mount the folder on the other disk under the folder in your home fdirectory:

sudo mount --bind /LOCATION_OF_ACTUAL_DATA_FOLDER/.minecraft  ~/.minecraft

 

 

  1. Remove the .minecraft symlink. There should not be anything at ~/.minecraft

  2. run the launcher

  3. launcher fails. see below.

And my system details:

Ubuntu Bionic

Linux pc 4.15.0-136-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 05:20:47 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Minecraft-launcher Debian package v915

 

I also cannot run the launcher. I have the .minecraft folder  symlinked to a location on another drive. Attaching a bit of the log produced when launching from a shell.
