Changes!
Adds custom install directory support for Minecraft Java Server. Users can now install to the default ~/Minecraft-Java-Server folder or choose another mounted/custom folder, including an external SSD. The selected path is saved and reused for future updates.

The installer now updates start-server.sh, the desktop launcher, and minecraft-server.service to use the selected server folder instead of assuming the home directory.

#3003 that it is the companion uninstaller update for #3002.

It adds custom install-folder support, including external SSDs, and saves the selected path so updates/uninstall use the correct folder.

Assisted by GPT 5.5 High--I don't know exactly where to put that, but was looking and saw I might need it.

Yes, I looked up how to do that and don't understand, can you show me how to do that?

@theofficialgman this looks good to me after reading but not testing the code. Would you be able to look it over and merge if it seems good?
