Bedrock Toolchest

Bedrock Toolchest is a desktop editor for changing Minecraft Bedrock worlds, from player inventories to add-on packs. It is best suited to Bedrock players who want a broad set of save-editing tools on a supported Windows or Linux desktop. Its staged edits and default session backups make it a capable free choice, but the lack of batch operations and support for Java worlds narrows its reach.

Overview

The editor brings world settings, player data, map-based world changes, structures, and add-on management into one application. That range suits players maintaining a save or making targeted changes without switching between separate tools. Changes remain staged until saved; by default, the app takes a full backup before the first save of a session and checks saved changes by reading them back. These safeguards are useful, though the default backup budget and retention settings still put a ceiling on how much history each world keeps.

An internet connection is not required. Update checks send a version string, not a machine identifier, world data, or counts. When enabled, the app can also fetch player head and 3D model previews from minecraftrender.com.

Key features

World and player editing

The Level Editor covers world settings, all 31 game rules, superflat layers, and experiments. The World Editor adds a world map, chunk pruning, and editing for entities, chests, signs, and villager trades. Together, these tools cover both configuration and targeted changes to world contents, but the lack of batch operations makes large-scale repetitive edits a weaker fit.

The Player Editor can change position, health, experience, inventory, enchantments, effects, and tamed pets, and can export a player to a file. That is a useful range for fixing or adjusting an individual player record without limiting the app to world-level settings.

Structures and add-ons

The Structure Viewer renders saved structures in 3D and supports importing and exporting .mcstructure files, making it practical to inspect and move structures. Add-on management can install, remove, reorder, and update packs, while flagging missing packs and unmet dependencies. Those checks help identify pack issues, though the app is focused on Bedrock add-on management rather than Java worlds.

Pricing

Bedrock Toolchest is free: the Free plan costs nothing, with no paywalls, subscriptions, or account requirement. There is no free trial because the free plan is the product’s pricing offer. It keeps the full described editing toolkit accessible without a recurring charge or seat limit.

Backups have practical limits: the default budget is 10 GB per world, with five backups kept per world. Users can change both settings, but should consider storage and retention needs before relying on backups as long-term history.

Platforms

Bedrock Toolchest supports 64-bit Windows 10 or later and 64-bit x86 Linux desktops; ARM machines are not supported. It works with Bedrock Edition worlds from version 1.21 through the current release, including Minecraft Bedrock world folders, extracted .mcworld worlds, and .mcstructure files. Java Edition worlds are not supported.

Who it's for

This is a strong fit for Bedrock players who want one desktop tool for player edits, world settings, entity and terrain work, structure files, and add-on packs. It is less suitable for Java players, ARM desktop users, or anyone who needs batch editing.

The maker points users to its Discord community for help and welcomes translation contributions there.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plan has no paywalls, subscription, or account requirement, so the full described toolkit does not depend on an upgrade.
• Pros: Staged edits, default pre-save backups, and read-back checks provide safeguards when changing a world.
• Pros: Player editing, world-map tools, structure handling, and add-on management cover a broad range of Bedrock maintenance tasks.
• Cons: Java Edition worlds and ARM machines are outside its supported range.
• Cons: Batch operations are not supported, limiting its fit for repetitive changes across many regions or records.
• Cons: Backups default to 10 GB and five copies per world, so retention is finite unless users adjust the settings.

Alternatives
