How can I find the minecraft.jar in 1.8+ [closed]

I'm trying to find minecraft.jar, but the only thing I can find is insert version here.json. Not .jar.
Where is the jar file?

minecraft-java-edition

Best Answer

The jar files were moved to the versions folder, starting by the new launcher.

On my computer, it's on:

%appdata%\.minecraft\versions\1.8\1.8.jar

Also, SevenSidedDie just mentioned the fact that any mod that requires you to find minecraft.jar will not work with 1.8+.

If you can't run jar files on your Windows 10 PC, you might need to reinstall Java Runtime Environment. When JAR files are not opening, another great method is to simply use a universal file opener. Alternatively, some reported that turning your JAR file into a BAT file worked perfectly.
