World Save Conversion Tool to Bedrock Edition

With the Bedrock Edition becoming more prominent, there should be a conversion tool to convert world saves from different versions of the game to the Bedrock Edition. For example, with the cancellation of the Legacy Console Edition, my PS3 survival world is stuck on the PS3 Edition, unless I: Use a third party conversion tool to convert the save to the Bedrock Edition, upgrade to PS4, or not receive updates after the Update Aquatic. I would like there to be a conversion tool to convert from the Java and Legacy Console Edition platforms. I think this is a good idea because it will drive more people to convert to the Bedrock Edition if their beloved saves can come with them to the new version. Hopefully this is considered! Thanks!

Edit: There was a typo for over 3 years now, sorry about that :P

    That would be so nice. I'd Voted. 

    Currently, there is a way to convert Java worlds to Bedrock, but it's better to have an official tool.

    This sounds like an excellent idea, especially since mojang is pushing people to move to bedrock, in some cases forcing it by retiring their version.

    This would be awesome, either that or a way to customize my flat worlds. Which, is the only reason I actually use third-party software to import my deep flat worlds.

    Is there any way to convert PS4? If not, can someone make a tool to do so. I will literally pay anyone of they can fully convert my Minecraft world from my PS4 to BedRock edition.

    Bumping this, it's becoming more and more relevant. I have JAVA worlds that I've poured my heart (and years) into and I would love to be able to convert them to Bedrock so I can continue to create and play in them on Windows 10 and Xbox One.

    Yeah, I have a very old PS3 world that I've played on for such a long time. But I want to play it on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, but I can't because there're no tools that can convert my world without any chuck problems or items disappearing.

    yesss!!! you can't even get the old disc and download your uploaded saves like before. If you don't update the game it can't use network features - meaning you can't use the download function by pressing square unless you update.. If you update, you get Bedrock! I'm sure there's a lot more people that haven't gotten the chance to transfer their PS3 worlds.

    Until this is introduced, which I personally doubt, the best tool is the Win32 program MCC Tool Chest PE

    I think this is a very good idea. Currently,there is NO way for Windows 10 players to have customized Superflat worlds,and it's VERY annoying and time-consuming to terraform the regular biomes. Mojang should either create a tool that converts Java to Bedrock, or thy should fix the Superflat so we could customize it.I want to be able to have a Superflat biome that's at least 25-30 blocks down,and I would like to be able to choose which biome elements I want to have in my customizable Superflat world(plains,snow,desert,etc.). Please make this happen,Mojang.

    My kids are heart broken they can no longer transfer their PS3 worlds. They had admitted to me they were not using their PS3 much for fear of it breaking after after i fixed it from the light of death and upgraded the cooling. Now years of work on their worlds will be stuck if not lost on their PS3. I feel the announcement window to end support of transfers was way too short. Please provide a fix to this or a work around, thank you.

    as someone who own minecraft on switch and ps4, i agree this should be added as either a web based tool or an application on consoles and pc as i have an xbox 360 world that i want to change into a bedrock world and cant since i dont own an xbox one and dont have friends.i have put hundred of hours into said worlds and with the only official way to transfer it being thorugh an xbox one makes difficult to say the least. With the wii u and 3ds versions being completely abandoned with no successor, this would make the worlds on those consoles playable again.

    Great idea! Count me in. I would love this and would be surprised if not implemented to Bedrock edition

    Yes please! This would be great for converting my Xbox 360 worlds to Bedrock edition especially since they took Xbox One Edition off the market before I could use it to convert them.

    I'm really hoping something like this is in the works. Would love to move my world from Java to Bedrock to play on my Xbox.

    I just used MCC Tool Chest to convert a Java world into a Windows 10 edition, and it worked perfectly. I just lost some slimeballs, some red stone comparators and repeaters, and a contaption with a piston got a little messed up, but everything from my house, farms, tunnels and my chests are intact.

    If Mojang wants to unify the versions, this seems like a must. This would likely get a lot of people to buy Windows 10 and a realm just to play worlds they've had for almost a decade. Mojang seemed really on top of the legacy to bedrock conversion - why doesn't this apply to Java?

    This would be an excellent addition to all platforms. The third party converters have their uses, but many times they result in issues related to chunks not fully loading or corrupted maps, not to mention any version that is missing resources from another version you are converting you will not get them afterwards.

    An official conversion from Majong's Minecraft would bring builders around all platforms and even get a chance to share them between Java and Bedrock.

    Majong doesn't want to release anything that will cause major issues, but if they can explore on it and conjure up a functional beta worth practicing with, me may soon have one within the game.

    I vote for one.

    I have a world in Minecraft Java Edition but I really wish I could transfer it to Bedrock edition because it runs better and it has controller support. I truly hope, that one day we will be able to transfer worlds from Java Edition to Bedrock.
