Bridger
What it is
Bridger is a free desktop app for converting Minecraft worlds and resource packs between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and previewing schematic files. It supports complete world transfers between supported Java and Bedrock versions, including upgrades and downgrades. Users select a world, resource pack, or schematic, choose a target edition and Minecraft version, then export or preview. The viewer opens .schematic, .schem, .nbt, and .mcstructure files in textured 3D, top view, or individual layers. Resource pack tools map common block and item textures between editions while preserving files that need manual work. Bridger describes its processing as local-first, with files staying on the user's machine during conversions and previews. The project is open source, with code, issue reporting, and development hosted through GitHub. It builds on Chunker's open-source foundation and adds previews, Bedrock and PocketMine workflows, resource pack tools, and other utilities. SuperDoduos started the project for Zerix Network to inspect schematic map files faster before importing them into Minecraft. The site identifies Zerix Network as the maker and says the project is in active alpha development; it advises backing up important worlds before conversion.
