Move minecraft folder to another hard drive?

I have not been using Minecraft for years (because that's too childish), Can I reinstall the .minecraft folder into a different hard drive (without it being in the% appdata% folder), without creating a new folder, or that Errors occur.

Reason: I want to save space in my hard drive (SSD).

I do not play Minecraft anymore, only if a friend wants it.

You should be able to move it anywhere. So that Minecraft respects the new path also at the start, you should the Minecraft.exe with the call parameter

--workDir = "path \ \ to \ new location"
start.

So what should I do exactly?

Exactly what I wrote.
You can move the Minecraft folder as you like, but at the start of the game you have to pass the new path as start parameter.

For example In a link, or when called via the CMD.

Ok… I'll try it.

The whole thing should be available as a setting for your profile in the launcher

You think Minecraft is childish but you play Fortnite.

Somehow, a new folder opens up.
