How to Convert a Bedrock World to Java Edition
Learn how to convert a Minecraft Bedrock Edition world for use on a Java Edition server.
If you have a world from Bedrock Edition (mobile, console, or Windows 10/11) and want to use it on a Java server, you'll need to convert the world format. Chunker is the easiest online tool for this.

On your device, export the world as a .mcworld file (rename to .zip if needed).
Go to Chunker
Visit chunker.app in your web browser.
Upload your world
Upload your Bedrock world file. Chunker will detect the format automatically.
Select Java output
Choose your target Java Edition version and click Convert.
Download the converted world
Download the converted Java world file.
Upload to your server
Access the XGamingServer panel, stop your server, go to Files, and upload the converted world.
What Converts and What Doesn't
| Feature | Converts? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Terrain/Blocks | Yes | Most blocks convert accurately |
| Chests/Inventories | Yes | Items may differ slightly between editions |
| Entities (mobs, animals) | Partial | Some Bedrock-exclusive mobs may be lost |
| Redstone | Partial | Redstone mechanics differ between editions |
| Command blocks | No | Commands use different syntax |
| Custom skins/textures | No | These are client-side |
⚠️ Warning: Conversion is never 100% perfect. Some blocks, items, and mechanics work differently between Bedrock and Java. Always check your world after conversion.
💡 Tip: For complex worlds, consider using Amulet (desktop application) which gives you more control over the conversion process.
