Bedrock and Java save worlds in different formats, so you need a converter to switch between them. We recommend Chunker, a free tool that works both ways.

Java to Bedrock
Step 1: Zip Your Java World
Find your world folder (on Windows it is in %appdata%\.minecraft\saves), right-click it, and compress it to a .zip file.
Step 2: Convert It With Chunker
In Chunker, click Upload Archive and pick your .zip. Then click Convert & Download to get a .mcworld file.
Step 3: Use Your Bedrock World
- On your Bedrock server: drop the
.mcworldfile intoBedrock Addons. See our guide to uploading a Bedrock world. - In singleplayer: double-click the
.mcworldfile and Minecraft will import it into your worlds list.
- Player inventories, positions and Ender Chests usually do not carry over. Players respawn at world spawn.
- Some blocks or items that only exist in one edition may be removed or swapped.
- Redstone works differently in each edition, so big contraptions may need rebuilding.
