Spec score 7.3 #13 of 18 in Minecraft World Converters

What it is

LegacyEditor is a free save file converter and editor for Minecraft Legacy Console Edition. Its stated aim is to convert saves between supported platforms and game versions, including world and player data. It also describes scripting support for block and NBT editing. The project lists read and write support for Wii U, PS Vita, Switch, and PS4, and names emulator formats including Cemu, Vita3K, RPCS3, and ShadPS4. Support varies: PS3 writing is partial because the tool cannot resign PARAM.PFD; Xbox One is unsupported, while Xbox 360 and Xbox1 emulator saves are readable but not writable. Potions, Elytra, and Aquatic versions are listed for reading and writing, while several earlier versions and Village & Pillage are read-only. The project documents build scripts for Windows and Linux, and a release notes macOS support; Xbox 360 conversion is unsupported on macOS. BatchConverter.exe accepts a save file’s full path. Conversion settings can be automated using conversion.json, but that feature is off by default. The project is licensed under GNU GPL version 3 or later and is distributed without warranty.
