Bridger

Overview

Bridger is a free desktop app for converting Minecraft worlds and resource packs between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and for previewing schematics. It can transfer complete worlds between supported versions, including upgrades and downgrades. To convert, select a world or resource pack, choose a target edition and Minecraft version, then export. Its viewer opens .schematic, .schem, .nbt and .mcstructure files as textured 3D views, top views or individual layers. Resource pack tools map common block and item textures between editions while preserving files that need manual work. Bridger describes its processing as local-first, so files remain on the user's machine during conversions and previews. The project is open source, with its code, issue reporting and development hosted through GitHub. Zerix Network attributes the project to itself; it began as a way to inspect schematic map files before importing them into Minecraft. Bridger is in active alpha development, and its site advises backing up important worlds before conversion.

Who it is for

Bridger suits Minecraft players or map makers who need to move worlds or resource packs between Java and Bedrock, or inspect schematic files. Its local-first processing may suit people who want conversion and previews to happen on their own machine.
