Can I use a Java world ZIP?
Not directly. Request the correct edition when generating. This tool does not include a Java-to-Bedrock world converter.

A world file, ready for the next step
Bedrock uses a .mcworld package. Keep the downloaded file intact and use the import workflow for your device. A Java ZIP is a different world format; changing its extension does not convert it to Bedrock.
Check your device before importing
| Device | Current guidance |
|---|---|
| Windows with Bedrock | Double-click the .mcworld file to import it into Minecraft Bedrock. |
| Android / iPhone / iPad | Open the .mcworld file with Minecraft from your Files app. |
| Xbox / PlayStation / Switch | Import on a phone or PC first, then sync through Realms or a Microsoft account where supported. |
