Minecraft – ny way to merge two worlds in Minecraft

One work around is to run your own Minecraft server. The a dis-advantage this the Nether isn't currently working. You can launch the Minecraft server to load single player worlds. Just find your old ./world# folder in your .minecraft directory. When launching the server be sure your world matches the world name in the server.properties file.

I believe Mojang mentioned going this route in the future with Single player. Having the client launch a server instance locally and connect to it.

When this is fixed in future versions it should be a simple copy of the ./world folder back to your .minecraft directory and you will be able to load the world normally again.

Hilltops, plains, valley floors, and plateaus are relatively common also, and make good spots to build. When I did it, I had no trouble finding several nice places within a quick walk.
