LCE Save Converter

What LCE Save Converter is

LCE Save Converter converts Minecraft Legacy Console Edition saves from Xbox 360 and PS3 into Windows 64 LCE format. It accepts Xbox 360 .bin STFS CON containers and PS3 save folders containing GAMEDATA, then creates a saveData.ms file and a thumbnail at thumbnails/thumbData.png. The project says converted saves retain terrain, chests, items, signs, maps, player inventories, and Nether and End dimensions. Compatibility has version limits: Xbox 360 saves through TU19 are supported, while TU20 and newer are not; PS3 saves through version 1.12 are supported, while version 1.13 and newer are not. The free Windows tool is open source under GNU GPLv3. Its documented interface is 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. The latest listed release is v0.5.0-beta, a pre-release that adds PS3 save support. The included DLLs have separate license terms.
