I would really like to see where someone can make their friends host of their world. My brothers and I just started playing minecraft together and my brother has to be online for us to play on his world. But we would like it if I could log on and do stuff to our world without him being on. I figured this would have been implemented already. To me it seems like an obvious thing to do. What do you think?
You need to actually think about how this would supposedly work.
The files are on his computer. How are you going to access them if he's not online? The game can't just magically transfer the world from his computer to yours.
One of you either needs to have a computer that can host the server 24/7 or you need to find third-party hosting.
First off, you're looking at downloading *AND* uploading hundreds of megabytes every time you play. Then you've got the issue of coordination: You've downloaded the files, and are playing. Your brother then downloads them and starts playing. Now you've got two copies of the world being altered, and no way to merge the changes.
I am playing on the xbox 360 currently. And I figure there would be a way to include that in an update in the future. It would make the game alot more fun. It would get old building something in your world by yourself then goin and building the same thing in your friends

Still wouldn't work.
