Hi there.
The son of a friend of mine is big on Minecraft, using the family Mac or iPad to play.
After a very quick Google search I saw that it could be run on the Raspberry Pi as well, and thought I could give him a Pi with Minecraft for Christmas.
I have built said Pi and loaded Minecraft (0.1.1 Alpha?) and see that there appears to be no way to login to it to access his worlds - assuming his world is on the Internet (pardon my lack newbie-ness to Minecraft). It appears that the Pi might only support local servers.
Short version of the question, is it possible to run Minecraft on the PI, and login and use it like he has been on the Mac?
I would appreciate any information anybody may have about this setup.
Thanks in advance.
Greg :-)

I have no experience with PI motherboards/computers. IF he is playing on Mac, he is most likely playing Minecraft for PC. If he is playing Single player, the worlds will be stored in the local storage/drive. If he is playing multiplayer, the world will most likely be held on a server. If you can port his world onto the PI he should be able to play it from there. If not, he can try running a server a local server from his mac, allowing him to connect to it as long as he is on the same network the Mac is on.
TL;DR
IF you can put his world onto the Raspberry Pi, he can play it straight from there,
IF NOT, try running a server using his world save.
