You need to extract the zip yourself. Doing what you are doing @dexman545 places those files into temp.

On Linux temp files are (usually) placed into /tmp (or /var/tmp)which is literally just a RAM drive and is usually cleared fairly often.

This is a similar issue to running MultiMC from zip - it shouldn't be done and bad practise.
