Summary

LegacyEditor is a free save-file converter and editor for Minecraft Legacy Console Edition. It aims to move saves between supported platforms and game versions, including world and player data, and documents scripting for block and NBT editing. The project lists read and write support for Wii U, PS Vita, Switch and PS4, as well as emulator formats including Cemu, Vita3K, RPCS3 and ShadPS4. Support is not uniform: PS3 writing is partial because the tool cannot resign PARAM.PFD, Xbox One is unsupported, and 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 notes a macOS release, where Xbox 360 conversion is unsupported. BatchConverter.exe accepts a save file's full path. Conversion settings can be automated with conversion.json, but that option is off by default. It is licensed under GNU GPL version 3 or later and distributed without warranty.

Who it is for

LegacyEditor suits Minecraft Legacy Console Edition players who need to convert supported saves or edit block and NBT data. Users should check the listed console and version limits before relying on a particular conversion.
