I have an issue with a RRoD and my biggest consern is Minecraft – my precious worlds, my data… Is that also transferable? Because it may seem however that Minecraft is a little different from other games considering the fact that you only generate one very specific landscape and build the map up, while Fallout and all those other games have everything already built the same way on every game in the world.
My question is, if I use a data transfer cable to move everything, is all my data going to be transferred and put on the new hard drive the exact same way as it was on the Xbox? Same spawn point, same version, same worlds, same skins, clothing, and name? I've been anxious about this specific game for 4 months.

Yes, of course you can, and nothing will change. Nothing will change, because copying data from one memory to another is like ctrl + C and ctrl + V. Nothing changes.
For some more clarification: Copying data luckily does not change them in any way. Data are not like a painting, that when you want to copy, you have to re-draw it by hand onto another paper, and in the process make some small errors. When you copy data, eg. bytes, it's like when you copy a number from one paper to another.
If the data transfer is possible, all stuff on your old Minecraft will be exactly the same. To the last detail.
