LCE Save Converter
What it is
LCE Save Converter converts Minecraft Legacy Console Edition saves from Xbox 360 and PS3 into the Windows 64 LCE format. It accepts Xbox 360 .bin STFS CON containers and PS3 save folders containing GAMEDATA, and produces a saveData.ms file with a thumbnail at thumbnails/thumbData.png. The README says converted worlds retain terrain, chests, items, signs, maps, player inventories, and the Nether and End dimensions. Supported source versions are limited: Xbox 360 saves through TU19 and PS3 saves through version 1.12; newer versions are unsupported. The project documents a Python GUI, with optional drag-and-drop through tkinterdnd2. The GUI requires Python 3.10 or newer, customtkinter, Pillow, and two included DLLs kept beside save_manager.py. It is free and open source under GNU GPLv3, though the DLLs have separate license terms. The latest listed release is v0.5.0-beta, a pre-release adding PS3 support. The README reports testing 42 Xbox 360 saves with a 100% conversion success rate and confirms support for EU and US digital PS3 saves.
