Hello.
I am trying to replace a .png file in a specific directory. It is the picture shown by Minecraft Bedrock Edition straight when you open it. My issue has nothing to do with the game, so I don't think this post should be moved to "gaming".
It would let me remove the original file, but I can't put a new one.
I spent a few hours to diagnose the problem and I was able to give myself full control of the WindowsApps folder, I could even delete it if I wanted, and of course I can copy anything I want in it. I did the same with a folder that's inside WindowsApps called Microsoft.MinecraftUWPsomething, and it does say I have full control of the folder as well as all the files in it, including the folders in it and all the files they contain.
Despite that, I still can't copy a file inside of it. In fact, it seems like it's the same for every Microsoft.Something folder inside WindowsApps.
I tried moving the Microsoft.MinecraftUWP folder to the desktop, replacing the .png file I wanted and putting the folder back into place. Well, I was able to copy the file. But Minecraft wouldn't start anymore.
Of course what I am trying to do seems way too complicated to be worth it, but I think it's fun and I am learning quite a bit of stuff along the way.
Just to prove that replacing the file is not what's causing Minecraft not to launch, I used a specific tool that can download Minecraft version folders, and save them in a user accessible place (in my case it was somewhere in my documents folder). Then I modified the version by adding my custom picture, and used the tool to load it. Guess what... Minecraft starts, and my picture displays!
The only problem is that because I am using a custom tool I won't receive any future updates. Everytime I want to update, it will be a nightmare.
If I need to use a third party software I will do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
