    On https://skyblock.net/how-to-install-skyblock/ , it is claimed that you must go to "C:\Users\*YourName*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" to access saves, despite also saying Windows XP, Vista and Versionless can use "%appdata%".
    Windows 7 can use %appdata%.

    Support, it should just say Windows XP and later.
    The Mac directory name can also be shortened to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves

    If we're updating the verbiage, then we should add a note that says to please, please, stop using Windows XP. Yes, I get it, people love it (and I'm one of them) but it's beyond unsafe to use on a machine connected to the internet at this point. For the consumer, Windows 7 isn't safe either as Microsoft is no longer offering security updates, even if you were on an extended servicing plan (technically not available to consumers).

    Windows 7 does not receive security updates since January 14 2020.
    Please do not use this operating system anymore. It poses a risk to the security of your data.

    If someone is still using Windows 7 (or earlier) which are well out of support, they can probably figure out how to find the folder on their own. If not, they definitely shouldn't be using a security nightmare as their OS.

    Neutral.
