Is it possible to put Blockland in another harddrive and it will still work?

Is it possible to put Blockland in another harddrive and it will still work like it did before? I need to do this because Blockland, I think, takes up most the default harddrive I use. Any way to do this?

I think so
you'd have to change the targets on your shortcuts though, if it even works in the first place

I don't think it will work, +, I'm talking about the Documents folder of blockland, not the default harddrive folder.

The easiest fix it to just reinstall it on the other harddrive and then copy your config and add-ons folders over.

You have to make a .bat file or application with Automator depending on what computer you have. Do you have Mac or windows?

What's Automator? And I have Windows Vista.

Automator is an app on Mac that let's you create apps.

Ok put your Blockland folder in your hard drive. Then follow these instructions:

First, turn on file extensions if you have not done so already. 

• Put BlocklandLauncher.exe into a folder on your usb drive. 
• In that same folder, right click->New->Text Document. 
• Rename the text document to RunBlockland.bat
  
• A windows message will say "If you change a file extension, the file might become unusable.  Are you sure you want to change it?".  Click "Yes"
• Right click RunBlockland.bat->Edit.  The file should open in notepad
• Paste in the following code:
  Code: [Select]
  Start BlocklandLauncher.exe -profilePath .
• Save the file
• Double click "RunBlockland.bat" to run your new portable install of Blockland.

Hold on, the default harddrive or the one that I want to put Blockland in?

The one you want Blockland in.

don't listen to scratch
I'm not sure what he's trying to tell you, but whatever it is, it's overcomplicated for what you're doing
do what doomonkey said

Actually no, Scratch is right.

If you simply move/install the files to the other harddrive, the launcher will still write the files to the same Documents directory.
You need to add the -profilepath "locationpath" argument to the shortcut on the desktop if you want the launcher to write the files somewhere else.

Any answer that includes -profilepath is right.
