Backing up/moving your Minecraft folder to a new location and linking back to the old location so Minecraft thinks it wasn't moved.
# Moving to a new location.
# This can actually be done in Nautilus as well.
mv ~/.minecraft/ /mnt/mythumbdrive/
# Link back to the original location.
# Note how the last part needs to be the same location as in the previous command.
# ~ is short for /home/YOURUSER
ln -s /mnt/mythumdrive/minecraft/ /home/YOURUSER/.minecraft
