for the "cd" in the script - normally this should not be needed, as an app may folllow the xdg spec, and even use some library to make this easier, like https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-jvm . |

when installing terasology into program files, that dir is not writeable. starting up, terasology tries to create a folder in .local, which then fails. therefor, permit to start the application from a different directory, and let it anyway find its libraries via the classpath. a workaround, as the app should ideally know its location and other jarfiles without tinkering with the classpath.

therefor, permit two things with this change. first, permit calling the windows bat script from a different directory. it then needs to find the library relative to the start script location, not to the location where the script is called from.
second, before starting java, change to home directory. ideally, terasology itself should find a proper path by default. but program files as run directory is in any case wrong, so change.
this is the same change which was used to upload to chocolatey.
