Yes, I already know you can download worlds. Some people don't know how to let people download their worlds though, and it would be much easier this way. Anyhow, something has always bothered me, and I'm sure it has bothered some other people too. When you log into someone else's account, you don't get their worlds. As an example, my nephew came over, and he wanted to show me what he did on his worlds. He logged into his account, and all he got was his name. None of his worlds at all. I didn't know that would happen either, so I was confused. Well, I think Notch should make it so if you login to someone's account, it should say "Downloading world files...", and then once that's done, you have all of their worlds. I think the same thing should happen with texture packs, and their minecraft.jar.
I don't know how this would work out for people who pirated minecraft. They could login with like, david64yt's username, and then get his world that everyone has been wanting ever since he started making minecraft lets plays. I don't think torrented versions of minecraft need passwords though, so you should probably only be able to download their worlds and everything if you have their password.
I have no idea if this is possible, though. It might be really hard, and it might not. I know nothing about this sort of stuff, but it just sounds useful. Also, I'm really sorry if this has been suggested before. I searched for this suggestion everywhere in this forum, and I got bored after a while. I just assumed nobody has suggested it. I don't go in suggestions much, either.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention, that obviously, your worlds would be replaced in the singleplayer menu with the user's worlds that you're logged in as. Once you log back into your original account, your worlds will switch.
The worlds are saved locally. If that feature would be in minecraft i would at least want a manual upload button, because I have a limited m/bandwidth.
That seems like a better idea, if you don't actually wanna download the worlds on that user's account.
this is not an good idea this brings hacking into minecraft wich has been keeped out long.
why it brings hacking? for example a hacker/griefer hacks your account logs on and griefs everything in your worlds, he logs out agian, you log on and find everything griefed or even worse DELETED.
and obiously i dont like that
i know i mispelled that.
You know, I suppose that's true. Except this is a better idea: The worlds wouldn't be saved for everyone. Just on the computer that the world was played on. Then once you're ready to show the other person your world, you can show it to them.
EDIT: That makes no sense.. I'm an idiot.. Then this whole method wouldn't work at all. Hmm.... Thinking of another solution...
DOUBLE EDIT: Okay, here's another idea: The worlds only get updated on the computer the account was created on. It would probably have something to do with IDs and stuff.. Dunno.. I'm proud of myself for thinking of that so fast. But there's probably another flaw with it..

Yeah, that's actually a better idea. Didn't think of that. It doesn't seem like you would be on other accounts on one computer too much anyways, though.
