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.

| 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              |

> ⚠️ **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.
