Most likely yes, however I'll posibly can make some exceptions for a small price.
How much would you be asking? Also i think you should have a Donate button by paypal. I love what you have done because this is the only way i can get a planetoids map. I am currently making a 500X500 map and it is a lot faster than other programs.
I got this idea when I was thinking about using Sugarsync for my music library so I have the same music on my laptop and my PC and realized it would work for the Minecraft worlds as well. In my opinion this is how minecraft should be played. This is a tutorial on how to set it up to work for yourself and you could be punching trees in no time.
Step 1. Have Minecraft installed on our original host and your other computers. For me this was my desktop pc and my laptop. Download and run it if you have not already done so on both machines. I am assuming everyone knows where to find Minecraft and how to run it.
Step 2. Download and install Sugarsync on both computers. You can get it here. You get 5 GB free storage which is more than enough room. Go through all of the steps and stuff.
Step 3. Click on the tab on the top left corner that says Add Sync Folders.
Step 4. From there a window will pop up. Click the little arrow on the side of your C: drive then Users next the name of the account you are logged in on (mine happens to be my name) then AppData and finally Roaming. Mark the little check box for your .minecraft folder if you want everything to be the same like texture packs and stats or mark just the Saves folder if you want just the worlds to transfer over. If the .minecraft folder is not there than you need to run Minecraft and try again.
Step 5. We are done with your host computer for the time being. On your other computer go to the start menu and in the search box type in %appdata% and open your .minecraft folder and delete everything in there or place your Saves folder on your desktop for safe keeping if you want to save your worlds on this computer. If you don't have a .minecraft folder run Minecraft and then try again.
Step 6. Run Sugarsync and click on Manage Sync Folders.
Step 7. Grab the .minecraft folder and drag it over the other computer and press the OK down at the bottom.
Step 8. This is probably the longest you have to wait during the whole setup but you have to wait until the files are done syncing before Minecraft will work. You will know when they are done syncing when all of the dots next to them are green and not yellow anymore.
Step 8. Now it is time to play Minecraft.
Final thoughts:
If you don't explore too much or install large texture packs it updates pretty quick. I have not messed with leaving other files out because all of them are smaller than your Saves folder which is the important one but I would leave the Bin folder checked because if you update it when you play it on one computer it will be updated the next time you play it on your other computer already. If you go to tools and then preferences make sure that Sugarsync is set to starting up when your computer starts up. If you just use Sugarsync for Minecraft I suggest setting your transfer rate to fast so you don't have to worry about your computer turning off before the files are synced. Just for fun i played minecraft on the two computers at the same time and if you change anything on one the other computer throws a Level Save Conflict.
I have 10 Worlds, one is a planetoids map and one is a golden tunnels map. The rest are from 1.7.3 or newer. For texture packs i have Misa's texture pack. I forced an update and i am not using it so mcpatcher shouldn't be causing it.
When i play 1.8.1 the game is playable for about 2 to 5 minutes sometimes more than it crashes and i have to start over. I don't know if it has to do with me playing on a desert island in an ocean biome that doesn't spawn animals or what but it is running hard on my 5th virtual core for some reason but everything else seems to be fine. I have the Intel i72600K so my chip should handle a huge load and my memory wasn't being pushed. I forced an update of the game also and it didn't help any.
From my understanding the bottleneck is bandwidth. It is easy to run a server with 16 to 24 gigs of ram and a fast CPU if you have the money but the real problem seems to be getting the upload and download (mostly upload) speeds high enough to handle that many players.
No, that is far from the truth.
A 100 mbit connection could easily handle 200 players+ or hell, even 300.
The biggest bottleneck is CPU power. The servers that say 300 slot limit in reality could not get close to that limit. Buxville for example used to lag at around 80 players and at the moment can hold around 100 without lag. And yes, they are running the best hardware you can get.
That is good too know. One of the strongest parts of my server is the CPU so maybe that isnt why i have had a problem with that part.
I have been working for a while now on moding my server to focus on the "survival" part of the game by making it harder with more intense mobs and some limitations that still keep the game fun and still allows people to have a fun time building but i was wondering if anyone knows of any bukkit mods that would help bring this feature to my server. If you do know of any pleas list them.

It is cool to see people out there in the community willing to help others. I have just started my first server and i have not yet added any mods but i plan on doing soon. I i have any problems i will ask you.
This is a fresh, new server that has not yet felt the impact from many players. This will change with time and we would like you to be a part of it. So join now, start punching trees and watch out for that CREEPER!
Our servers current hardware.
- AMD Phenom II X4 840 processor @ 3.2 GHz with true Quad-Core design
- 8 GB DDR3 RAM (16 possible)
- 2 Tara-bite with a 6 GB transfer rate @ 7200 RPM (we use Ramdisc which is 2X as fast)
- Specially designed Linux OS for running Minecraft servers
This server is a survival multi player community. The goal is to have fun building your creations and projects with the help of others while knowing in the back of your mind that while getting those last few blocks of iron a creeper just might come up behind you and blow you up. But good thing for you, your friend is right there with you with an extra pork chop.
We are running the game on a dedicated machine with 8 Gbs of ram and a 3.2 GHz AMD Phenom II processor with the game running on Ramdisk for even more speed with backups every 15 minuets. We plan on having the sever on 24/7 except when we have to do updates in which case we will still be hosting it on another pc until we get the server back up and running.
Hmm seems i was out of the loop. I had no idea that it was not supported anymore. Thanks for informing me. Great thing you guys are doing though and if i had more skill under my belt with programming i would love to help out with such a huge project. I will be working on transferring my current world to the new operating system this weekend probably unless there is a way that i dont have to do a clean install. I will be reading up on MineOS+ now.
I have to tell you that you are my hero for making MineOS. After i get paid, because i spent all my money on building a server, i will donate because you made my life easier. I am starting my first server with my friend and we built a costume box just to host the game. We went with with a 880G-E45 motherboard by MSI and have 8 gigs of ram and an AMD Phenom II @ 3.2 ghz so i dont think hardware will be our bottleneck anytime soon but our upload speed may be a problem. If anyone sees a problem with this setup pleas inform me on the issue.
This is my problem though. I have ramdisk set up and i believe that crontabs is set up properly but i am not sure. I have been searching everywhere for the answer to this and cant find it but how do you know if your automatic backups are working? I have lost my first world which sucked because the spawn was surrounded by tall mountains on all sides which was really cool looking so i did the whole crontab steps over starting with crontab -r to clear my entry. I am sorry i am a little new to linux but i am catching up fast because i am a computer science major.
