Preserving inventories when porting to a new map

[dracosilv]

A friend of mine is wondering if, when he switches maps, if there is a way to preserve the alchemical bag's inventory.

I would assume that, since their inventories are independant of the level.dat of the map, that even though their inventories and such would be reset, all you would have to do is back up those 'independant' inventories, make the new map, and then cheat in or make another alchemical bag of the proper color and you'd be good-to-go. This is all conjecture mind you, so it would be helpful if you could confirm or deny my hypothesis.

All that info is kept in the 'data' directory under where the level.dat is, so as long as you preserve everything under there in the world directory, you should be fine.

so basicly just save the data and players folders then? and everyones alchemy bags and default inventorys would be safe?

I believe this will work, though I'd back up the world before doing anything permanent, of course. The Trans Tablet data and Mercurial Eye stuff is also in the dat folder.
