WorldSwitch review
Affordable two-way Java–Bedrock conversion with free small-file conversions.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WorldSwitch is a browser-based service for converting Minecraft worlds between Bedrock Edition and Java Edition. It accepts a Bedrock .mcworld file or a zipped Java world, then lets users select the conversion direction and download the result. The service is aimed at private consumers who need to move a world between editions without installing desktop software. It supports conversions in both directions and adapts worlds to the target version.
Pricing is organized by uploaded file size and charged per conversion rather than through a recurring subscription. The Mini plan is free for files up to 70 MB and does not require sign-up. Small costs €1.99 per conversion for files from 71 MB to 300 MB, Medium costs €3.99 for files from 301 MB to 1 GB, and Large costs €7.99 for files over 1 GB. This structure suits occasional transfers and keeps smaller conversions free, while frequent conversions or larger worlds can produce repeated costs.
WorldSwitch’s main strength is the breadth of world data it aims to preserve. Its listed capabilities include terrain, blocks and block states, inventories and chests, mobs, villagers, supported entities, maps, player data, biomes, redstone orientation and state, and command-block and command syntax translation. Temporary download access with automated file deletion supports a limited file-retention model. The service is a good fit for players seeking a web-based, pay-per-use converter for supported vanilla worlds. Users needing permanent hosted storage, broader ecosystem integrations, or conversion beyond supported content should choose another type of tool.
