No, y'all will just use your electric current account to authorize a download. You tin use your Minecraft account anywhere. Only download the launcher, log in and information technology will download a new copy, free of charge.

Very timely thread for me, since I simply went through this.

I accept Minecraft on our desktop but wanted to install it on our laptop equally well. I did what was mentioned above and information technology worked simply fine. Once I downloaded a re-create onto the laptop I was able to login with my regular login credentials.

I do have another related question though.

When I login to my account on the laptop I don't meet any of our saved worlds. Are they supposed to be there? Or exercise saved worlds non get automatically transferred over?

If they don't, I'm assuming it's because the data for those saved worlds is saved on the local hard drive of the computer where they were created.

If this is the example, is in that location a style to re-create the saved worlds to another estimator? I was able to await up in the FAQs how to find the Minecraft data files on your local hard bulldoze. Is information technology possible to simply re-create those data files and transfer them to another computer? And, if so, which files do you have? Is it the file called "saves" (found in Library-->Application Back up-->minecraft-->saves)? That's the i that seems to have all the files with the names of our saved worlds. Or practice yous just copy then unabridged "minecraft" folder

Thank you.

Thanks, Collin1971!

So, merely replace the "saves" folder on the new computer with the existing "saves" folder from the old estimator? (Or just transfer the files from "saves" binder on the onetime computer into the "saves" folder on the new calculator)? I guess mayhap the latter since one of my kids already created a new world on the new computer and then that nosotros don't lose that world.

Yous can copy all the worlds from the salve file and put them on to your current save file folder if you already take some worlds on your new reckoner that you don't want to loose.

Actually, I approximate a follow upwards question: I suppose there'southward no easy way to keep saved worlds synced between unlike computers?

Any saved changes made on one estimator will not transfer to any other computer, and then once I copy a globe to another reckoner, it will basically be like a parallel file that will evolve differently from the original on the old reckoner.

Is in that location any easy manner around this to exist able to share saved worlds betwixt different computers? I guess maybe by using a NAS or some kind of shared drive? But and then is in that location a manner to set Minecraft to look for the saves in a unlike location (i.due east. on a shared network bulldoze) other than its default?

Really, I gauge a follow upwardly question: I suppose there's no like shooting fish in a barrel fashion to keep saved worlds synced between dissimilar computers?

Whatsoever saved changes made on i computer volition not transfer to any other computer, and then once I copy a earth to another figurer, it volition basically be like a parallel file that will evolve differently from the original on the old figurer.

Is at that place any easy way around this to be able to share saved worlds between different computers? I guess peradventure by using a NAS or some kind of shared bulldoze? Simply then is there a manner to set Minecraft to wait for the saves in a different location (i.due east. on a shared network bulldoze) other than its default?

With the Minecraft launcher, there is an pick to choose where you want your "profile" to be installed.

A contour is an instance of the game, with a certain version of Minecraft and information technology's set of saves, options, resource packs, etc. However, information technology isn't role of the .minecraft folder, and can exist copied between computers.

You lot could in theory make a profile in the Minecraft launcher, and set up it's location to your network location. (a NAS of shared drive)

By going to the bottom left corner of your launcher, y'all tin can create a new profile or edit a profile's settings to find these options. Simply tick the "Game Directory" setting and requite it your custom network path.

However, this comes with downsides if you use a network drive.

Unless on a very fast network connection, yous will most likely feel extremely slow earth loading and game performance, and there is a take a chance if two computers are playing on the same world to completely decadent the world and/or contour.

A better option would to grab a free Google Drive business relationship (or Dropbox) and download their special sync progarms. These sync programs create a folder on your computer locally that will sync to the net when they change. And you'll always get the latest copy of your information equally long as you're connected to the internet. This comes without the hazard of slow performance, because y'all'll actually be saving it to your computer like usual, and uploading it when you're done.

Great thought, Collin1971!

After yous initially posted, I started looking into accessing my computers over our local network. I was going to see if I could set up a contour (as y'all recommended) on the laptop with a custom path to access the file on my desktop/host computer but was having problem because I couldn't call up the password.

But now I've read your update to the post virtually using Google Bulldoze. I use some of their doc programs (like the spreadsheet) so I'll simply have to expect into how to put a copy of the Minecraft information on the Google MyDrive and look into the sync programs you mentioned.

Later that I guess information technology's just setting a profile with a custom path to the files in a special sync binder so Google Drive will know which files to sync?

That's an crawly idea. I'll just have to wait into how to implement it, but I'm bold it'due south not likewise complicated.

Really, I approximate a follow up question: I suppose in that location's no piece of cake mode to keep saved worlds synced betwixt different computers?

Whatever saved changes made on one computer will not transfer to whatever other computer, so once I copy a world to another reckoner, it will basically exist like a parallel file that will evolve differently from the original on the old computer.

Is there whatsoever easy way around this to be able to share saved worlds betwixt dissimilar computers? I gauge maybe by using a NAS or some kind of shared drive? Just and then is at that place a way to fix Minecraft to look for the saves in a dissimilar location (i.e. on a shared network drive) other than its default?

With the Minecraft launcher, there is an option to choose where y'all want your "profile" to be installed.

A profile is an case of the game, with a certain version of Minecraft and information technology'south set of saves, options, resource packs, etc. Notwithstanding, it isn't part of the .minecraft folder, and tin be copied betwixt computers.

However, this comes with downsides if yous use a network drive.

Unless on a very fast network connexion, you will virtually likely experience extremely dull globe loading and game performance, and there is a chance if two computers are playing on the same world to completely corrupt the world and/or profile.

A improve selection would to grab a costless Google Drive account (or Dropbox) and download their special sync progarms. These sync programs create a folder on your figurer locally that will sync to the internet when they change. And y'all'll always become the latest copy of your information as long as you're connected to the net.

A better option would to catch a free Google Drive account (or Dropbox) and download their special sync progarms. These sync programs create a binder on your reckoner locally that volition sync to the internet when they change.

Great idea, Collin1971!

After you lot initially posted, I started looking into accessing my computers over our local network. I was going to see if I could gear up a profile (equally yous recommended) on the laptop with a custom path to access the file on my desktop/host computer just was having trouble considering I couldn't retrieve the countersign.

But at present I've read your update to the mail almost using Google Drive. I use some of their doc programs (like the spreadsheet) so I'll just have to look into how to put a copy of the Minecraft data on the Google MyDrive and expect into the sync programs you lot mentioned.

Subsequently that I guess it's just setting a profile with a custom path to the files in a special sync folder so Google Bulldoze will know which files to sync?

That's an crawly idea. I'll just have to expect into how to implement it, merely I'thousand assuming information technology's non besides complicated.

You should exist able to catch it from this link. For me, it creates a "Drive" folder in my user folder like this:

C:\Users\Collin\Bulldoze

After that's installed, y'all should be able to create a folder in your Google Drive and have information technology sync to your PC, and so but set the launcher to it.

One time once again, thank you Collin1971 for your dandy suggestion.

I installed Google Drive on my desktop and my laptop and then copied all my minecraft information into a folder in my Google Drive folder and then changed the custom path on the Minecraft application to the folder in my Google Drive.

Now both copies of the MC on the 2 different computers pull from the aforementioned synced saved data on my Google Drive then that we can play on either computer and access whatever saved changes in any of our worlds seamlessly regardless of which computer we play on.

I accidentally deleted the saved worlds at i point because I idea I was
copying
my files from my desktop to the Google Drive, just it was actually
moving
the files and not
copying
them. At first I only transferred the "saves" folder, merely and so I realized I should've probably transferred the entire "minecraft" folder, and then I deleted the "saves" binder I initially transferred and and so re-transferred the entire "minecraft" binder. However, when I looked at the files I noticed that the entire "saves" folder (where all the saved world data resides) was missing. Information technology was then that I realized my mistake and what happened, but I had already emptied the trash. Fortunately, I backup my computer every night so I was able to go the saved worlds back. (*phew!*)

In whatsoever instance, for whatsoever others who might practice something like, some tips:

(i) when transferring files from your computer to your Google Drive folder, it's only treated as another folder on your computer so it will
move
the folder, not
copy
information technology, and

(two) always support your files!

Cheers!
