Is There any way to Install Minecraft on a USB stick?

So I have a disk quota of around 1.979gb on my Linux installation, and I really want to play Minecraft. Currently, I have it installed and it runs fine, but I have a lot of files for school. I recently found a 32gb USB drive laying around and I wondered if I could transfer the .minecraft and minecraft-launcher folder to the USB drive, and run the minecraft launcher from the drive.

Also, for anyone who knows it, is there any way I can use the Lunar Client appimage and also put the .lunar files on the USB stick too?

Running Manjaro Linux BTW.

Thanks!

This should help, even though it's for the old launcher, it should work if you know how to edit profiles in the new launcher. I don't think there's a way to convert a launcher profile to a file that you can use on a USB drive, but it should work.

If you're using the USB on a different OS from what you installed Minecraft on, you MAY have trouble running the game, but I'm not too sure about the inner-workings of the launcher and the game. This also applies to the launcher, but you should be able to just download the launcher from .
