Easy Ways: How to Convert Minecraft Java Worlds to Bedrock Edition Using Je2Be and MCC Tool Chest PE

This tutorial will show you a free, simple, and crystal-clear method to convert your Minecraft Java maps over to Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

"There are tons of amazing Java worlds outly available for Bedrock. But don't worry, converting a Java World into a Bedrock World is actually incredibly easy!" — EuForia Tutorial Team

The main software we'll be looking at is Je2Be, which you can easily grab from the Microsoft Store. I highly recommend this tool because it's completely safe and super user-friendly.

Important Updates:
It looks like MCC Tool Chest PE is no longer in development. I highly recommend sticking to Je2Be for modern Java maps (1.13+).

Converting with Je2Be (Recommended)

1

Download & Install
Grab the software from the Microsoft Store (Click to Download) and launch it.

2

Select World
Choose the Java world you want to convert, then click next.

3

Start Conversion
Click start and wait for the conversion to finish. The time depends on the world size.

4

Export as .mcworld
Once finished, choose your export location. Highly recommended to use .mcworld.

5

Import to Minecraft
Simply open the .mcworld file on your Bedrock device to automatically import the world. Have fun!

Alternative Methods

MCC Tool Chest PE (Better for Java 1.12.2 and older)

If you're working with older Java versions, MCC Tool Chest PE is still a solid option with deep customization.

A

Download & Open: Launch MCC Tool Chest, go to File -> New.

B

Convert: Head to Tools -> Convert -> To Bedrock.

C

Manual Placement: After saving, you'll need to manually locate your world in the minecraftWorlds folder of your PC.
