Hi all, a little help for someone that knows very little about minecraft please.

We've recently upgraded my 7 YO son to the full version after playing PE for a while. He's only allowed single player creative mode for now so reducing worries about safety.

However, since it's the school holidays he's spending a fair bit of time over at my mum's so I was thinking of installing it over there as well (if it'll play on her machine!). I read that this is possible as long as it's only in use on one PC at a time, but how do you go on about game saves? Would I have to sync the folder on both machines (it's possible) or are they synced online when he logs into the account?

Thanks.
 
Thanks guys.

I was hoping it would be automatic but sadly it looks like it isn't.

Copying to a USB at the end of each session would be the easy way for me I guess but I need to make it granny proof :D I'm already backing up the folder regularly to dropbox and my server so I'm sure I can work something out.
 
automatic would be on a server, which you want to avoid. you could make a private server but you'd need a PC running all the time to facilitate him connecting to it.

Would a HP Microserver be up to the job? I have one running WHS 2011 as a back up / file sharing server.
