Note About the World Conversion Process

While it is possible to convert your world from Java to Bedrock and from Bedrock to Java, it is not a perfect conversion. There are differences in how the game is coded on both platforms such as Java Edition having NBT data whereas Bedrock does not, Redstone working differently in the two versions, etc. With all of that in mind, be sure to create a backup of your world prior to starting this process.
