LegacyEditor
What it is
LegacyEditor is a free save-file converter and editor for Minecraft Legacy Console Edition. It is designed to move saves between supported console platforms and game versions, carrying world and player data, while also providing scripting support for block and NBT editing. The project lists reading and writing for Wii U, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 saves. Emulator formats named in the documentation include Cemu, Vita3K, RPCS3, and ShadPS4. Support differs by platform: PS3 writing is partial because PARAM.PFD cannot be resigned, Xbox One is unsupported, and Xbox 360 plus Xbox1 emulator saves are readable but not writable. Potions, Elytra, and Aquatic versions are listed with read and write support, while several earlier versions and Village & Pillage are read-only. Build scripts are documented for Windows and Linux, with a macOS release also noted. BatchConverter.exe accepts a full save-file path, and conversion.json can automate settings when enabled.
