What it is

LCEStudio is a free Windows toolkit for browsing, editing, visualizing, converting and repairing Minecraft Xbox 360 and Legacy Console Edition saves. It reads LCE chunk formats from TU0 through TU75, including old-NBT, tile-storage v8–v11 and Aquatic sectioned v12 formats. The world library presents saves with thumbnails and platform and title-update details, plus search, filters and actions to open, convert or repair them. Editing tools cover inventory, blocks, entities, tile entities, players, spawn settings and raw NBT data. Views include top-down and Y-slice maps, an isometric view and a 3D fly-through editor for placing, breaking and filling blocks. Conversion options cover Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows LCE, plus exports to Java Edition. Other tools retarget title updates, re-sign STFS BIN files, address certain entity and lighting problems, and generate several world types. World Timelapse saves snapshots on each save for browsing or restoring older versions. Version 1.0.1 is a portable 64-bit Windows executable; the project also provides a command-line interface.
