What 8Crafter's Bedrock World Editor is
8Crafter's Bedrock World Editor is a free desktop editor for Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Education Edition worlds. It works with LevelDB and NBT data, supports region editing, and can open standalone NBT files and LevelDBs. The project says full support reaches back to MCPE Alpha 0.9.0, with partial support to MCPE Alpha 0.1.0. Its WorldEdit Bedrock integration handles biome changes and structure import or export, although add-ons made by other authors do not work with that integration. The editor runs on Windows 10 or 11, Linux, and macOS 12 or later. Windows, macOS, and Linux installers are listed, along with portable ZIP builds. Desktop software can edit iPhone and iPad worlds directly; macOS can connect over Wi-Fi without a cable. Native iOS and Android support is planned but not implemented. The project is in beta, MIT-licensed, and lists email and Discord support.
