I have tried multiple times the " Type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft into spotlight and just hit enter!" apparent solution but no it doesn't work. All that comes up is the web pages i have been on containing those words. I have a legal version of Minecraft that is up to date as well
How to find my Minecraft folder on mac? Using Mavericks?

Yeah Macs are stupid. Open Finder, press Command + Shift +G, type in that path.

From the Desktop Finder's Go menu select Go To Folder and paste
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
in to the box and click the Go button
That will open a Finder window listing everything in the Minecraft folder.
