      Note: z:\Minecraft\com.mojang points to a mounted network drive on a local network, the directory exists and user has write permissions to it, and the directory contains the full copy of the original com.mojang directory.

      Note: the main use case is to be able to play on either of the two computers sharing the same local network (not at the same time, using the same Microsoft account).
