Cache- Temporary download of data to a computer so data can load faster.

I would like to see 4J add the option to cache someone else maps so they run faster. If this is done it would be the same as playing on your own world. There would be virtually no lag due to connection or lagging out. This wouldn't be a world download like on media fire but would require the host to be on at the same time. All this would do is download the world to your xbox before you join and it would delete it once you leave. Just a temporary internet file.

Let me know what you guys think of this and if you would like to see this.

For those with slow connections this would only make it worse. Instead of loading the parts of the world slowly and overtime, you're downloading it all at once. People with slow connections would be waiting forever for the download to complete, and they'd be the only ones effected.

I don't want to download worlds in the future, I don't need to now (great connection).

most people's Internet connection is fast enough for that. The problem isn't the download speeds but rather the upload speeds. My Internet is 20 mps down and 2 mps up so that means I'm downloading a friends map at 20 mps but I'm only uploading my map as a host at 2mps. I'm not saying make it a requirement but an option.

I like it. I have a massive world that everybody enjoys, but their biggest complaint is that there is too much lag.

I think this is a good idea. When i host worlds my friends complain about lag and i have good connection.

I like it.
Plus it is not going to be required so if you dont like it just uncheck the box
