A little over a year ago, we lost community's Minecraft server due to technical difficulties and not having a proper world backup. I am now considering rebuilding the map in my leisure time. And eventually I would like to upload the map to a new server for my community to play on.  Is this as simple as dropping the world file onto an online server? or is it more complicated?

I've been working a lot on my world on my computer in single player mode. My dad got me a server and so I want to transfer my world onto my server.  How is this possible?  I noticed that in %appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\saves, the directories in there look a lot like the world directory on my server. Can I simply transfer my saves directory to my server?

I'm a new Minecrafter, and was wondering if new updates are backwards compatible. Specifically, will the new "Adventure Update" features (Beta 1.8) appear in existing worlds created with Beta 1.7 and earlier? Or will I need to create a new world for this version?

I tried searching the website and couldnt find a question that answered this specific aspect of the game. Its very difficult for me to use the internet because of my location, and I have recently become interested in Minecraft.   Im aware that there is a pay version that can be played offline once youve logged in once but the idea of doing anything internet related that requires almost any kind of talking between my computer and the internet is laughable where I am right now.   Even just downloading it will probably take a day or more. Also with a connection like the one I have I sure as heck dont want to pay to play.  Is there a way I can download the game, for free, and play OFFLINE, for free?

I have tried many tutorials but none of them are clear enough. I have also tried installing it using Wine but it won't update and Wine goes gray and stops working.  Does anybody know an easy way to install Minecraft though the Java file without using Wine?

So I have learned that there are no longer any bin folders or .minecraft folders on in the versions of minecraft 1.6 or higher.  I still want to add mods though.  Is there a way to add the mods of my choice without using Magic Launcher or the bin folder (since it doesn't exist)? All help is appreciated.  Thank you :)

I bought a Minecraft account for my little brother for Christmas, and I'd like to play with him on my server every now and then. If I log in while he's on, however, it kicks him off since we have the same username. Is there any way to change my username so that I can play with him, or anything I can do so that we can both play together using this account on my server?  I'm open to anything that could let us play, whether it be username changes, server property changes, etc.

I made a skin by using Skincraft and I exported it to minecraft.net. I chose my skin and uploaded it. At the top it says,      "Your skin has been changed! Please wait a few seconds for it to   update."   I went to Minecraft, clicked singleplayer and chose a random world at the top. I looked at my character, but it's still default. Multiplayer won't load for some reason. I don't know what I've done wrong!

My daughter has built a minecraft world on our iPad. As of Christmas 2013 she has an iPad mini of her own. Is there any way to transfer her world from the old machine?   Even better...is there any way to synchronise the 2 machines?

I've been toying with the idea of creating a custom texture pack for Minecraft, just to see how successful I'll be at it.  Problem is, I have no idea how to go about doing this.    Where do I begin, what steps do I take, and what do I do once I'm finished?

I tried connecting to a server this morning but it said "outdated client". I understand that that means I have to get Minecraft 1.6.4 but I have no clue how to do it. I tried getting it on Minecraft.net but I couldn't find it. Please tell me how to download it and use it.

I have Minecraft on my PS4 and mobile device. Is there a way for me to share the world that is on my PS4 account to my mobile so I can play while I’m out and about?

I want to know if there's a way I can set it so that on first join, a player gets teleported to a random location on the map automatically. Then if the player dies without having a home set, they are once again teleported to a random location but not if they have their home set.   What would be the best way to accomplish this? May it be through command blocks or plugins.   Thank you for your time.

I don't have a minecraft folder. I've looked through forums and videos, followed all the steps. I just don't have one. I have windows 7, and I have "view hidden files" turned on. I have look in the roaming folder of my app data folder, with hidden files turned on. I want to find my folder so I can install a mod, could someone please tell me why my folder isn't showing up?

I just re-purchased Minecraft (because my old profile stopped working so I bought it) after not playing it for a couple of months. I've added a bunch of servers, but almost every one says "can not connect."  I know its not because the server is not 1.7.2, because I checked that they'd update. It will say "server can't connect" after a long time. I don't know if its me or the servers.  My server screen looks like this (notice the one at the bottom – it's still loading!):

I've got a nice Minecraft world on my friend's PS4, but I want to continue with the same world on my own system. Am I able to copy it and if so, how do I do that?

Currently my map server is run on my laptop at home, and my brother and I play via LAN each on his desktop PC.  However, I'd like to transfer my character from the Desktop PC to my laptop in order to play on the go.  Can I do this? Where is the character information saved?
