What is minecraft file? How to open minecraft files?

File type specification:

Some users can be confused by .minecraft folders that feature the classical dot used for files, but be rest assured that these are really folders of the Minecraft sandbox game.

The context here is that in the past, folders that started with . were hidden in Windows Explorer by default, so the original meaning was for that particular Minecraft folder to be hidden. Most likely to prevent accidental deletion.

The same practice is used on Linux/Unix system files, for example.

Help how to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .minecraft file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
