Just got my new Xbox as well as a transfer cable and i plan on transferring all of my files over to it. However before I heard messing with your world save, copying it, or moving it would disable achievements and leaderboards, I'm not sure if that is true or not. But I would like to transfer my world over and also make a backup copy of it as well to a flash drive but I don't want achievements and things disabled. It would still be being used by the same gamertag as always. Can anyone confirm about the transferring and copying of a save for a survival world?
And a different question here but since I am transferring everything over to the new Xbox would it be possible to have Minecraft on both the old and new Xbox without having to repurchase the game and using a differnt gamertag on the old Xbox?
Yes, you can copy your world files to another drive without messing up leaderboards and achievements. What can get messed up is if you rename the file and then try to save a copy back onto the same drive as the old file. As long as you only have one copy of a world on one drive, you should be fine... I've never had it foul up.
Yes, you can download Minecraft to more than one console. However, if the console is not the "licensed" console, only the purchasing/licensed gamertag will be able to launch the game on that console. If you want it so others can launch and play the game on that console without you, then you'll need to transfer the license... which will remove the license from the original console and make it such that only you can launch the game on that console. Also, you cannot be signed in on two consoles at the same time.
Also, the "unlicensed" console will revert to the demo version if it isn't hooked up to the internet (since it won't then be able to verify that you (the licensed gamertag) is the one launching the game.

Ooooh alright, thank you for the information, that's everything I wanted to know. And I was wondering about having it on both consoles because I figured I could join my own game and mine obsidian easier by staying in the nether and having my other person go in and out to make the portal come back, lol.

You can do that on one console in splitscreen. Your "second person" has to be a different gamertag regardless.since you can't be logged in on two consoles at the same time. If you go the two console route, your "second person" would have to also have a Live membership and that "second person" would have to be the one playing on the licensed console. Your main gamertag would have to be the one logged in the unlicensed console. Doing it in splitscreen would be easier and far cheaper since your "second person" would not have to have a Live membership.
Xbox has this "two-part" licensing system (licensing both the gamertag and the home console) to enable people to play their games on consoles when they are away from home (like in hotels and such)

Lol, I'm so dumb, I didn't even think of that, thanks!
