Concerning the issue with multiplayer activity on the console versions of Minecraft, in me and my buddies cases PS4, I have a simple idea for a temporary solution to the lack of peer-to-peer servers right now. (and please if what I'm describing is already possible, please tell me what an idiot I've been and tell me how)
I would simply like to have a feature added on the PS4 version that when you join another player's game [the host], that you can save the world you are in at that moment to a new world save file on your PS4.
This way, when I'm hosting my 3-4 buddies on my world, which is our default shared world that has the most work in it, and I need to go to bed or do something else, I can allow another guy to host the world through the following procedure:
1. "I'm tired guys, I need to go to bed."
2. Someone volunteers to host the game now.
3. Everyone except the current host and the new host-to-be leaves the game.
4. The new host saves the world to his own ps4, over-writing the save data of and old version of the same name if he's done this before.
5. The current host leaves.
6. The new host starts the world.
7. Everyone else joins back in, and go back to playing.
This solution is by no means a clean one, but I believe it would be simple enough to implement so those of us playing on consoles would have a sort of pseudo-server solution until something else more sophisticated can be implemented.

This needs to moved to the PS4 Edition Suggestions. This is for PC Vanilla Minecraft.
I like Video games, such as Pokemon and animal crossing. My avatar is Villager, possible reference to the Akia Village?
