MCC Tool Chest is the program will allow you to convert (transfer) a Java world to Bedrock Edition. MCC Tool Chest is an incredible resource for world conversion. Personally, I have both a Bedrock and a Java edition of Minecraft, and I have used this app to convert a world from one version to the other. Using to learn it is a bit technical (as with Note Block Studios), but once you have familiarized yourself with the options, it is a very powerful tool. Back up your world prior to using MCC Tool Chest.
MCC Tool Chest is a very, very powerful world editor and converter. Used properly, it can allow easy customization and editing of worlds. Once again, however, I want to warn you against trying to convert worlds you actually care about without backing them up first. Something could go wrong, and you could lose hours of adventuring and progress. But if you have a safe backup, feel free to experiment and have fun using this Minecraft companion app.
