Trying to convert Minecraft Xbox 360 saves to playable java/bedrock saves on computer

[trepp0]

Hey y’all! I have some Minecraft saves on my Xbox 360 hard drive that i would like to transfer to my pc. I have the hard drive, and a backup image of it on my computer. I tried using eXplorer360 to try and find the saves but had no luck. Has anyone had success with this in the past?

i went through the massive headache of doing this recently, and ended up finding a solution after hours of searching, the tool that's commonly suggested is "MCC tool chest" and it's awful, you can only find the most recent version via archive.org and it doesn't convert chests properly, as well as turning a lot of blocks like lilypads and seagrass into dirt

the one i found that is much, much better and properly converts worlds is called "je2be", it has a web app that takes forever to convert: https://je2be.app but it works properly, alternatively it has a microsoft store version which is pretty fast

with this one you don't need to extract the save file with horizon/explorer 360, it'll just take the raw bin file from the USB stick and do the rest, only bug i've encountered is that it doesn't convert the worlds to infinite and will just extend the world with stone, without the borders, you'll need to edit the world with a world editor to reset the chunks outside the map boundaries, map graphics are also a bit messed up but can easily be reset by deleting the map files

So i need to transfer the save to a usb stick? Cause i have just been plugging the sata connection on the hard drive into my pc?

it's easier to just copy the worlds to a usb stick and then insert it to a pc, it just uses fat32 and if the worlds are the only thing on the stick they're easy to find
