By default, worlds generated in the Bedrock version of Minecraft are not compatible with Java Edition. If you want to play the Java Edition of Minecraft with a world that was originally created in the Bedrock edition of the game you will need to convert it before importing to your server.
Disclaimer
Chunker is a new software that is currently in an experimental state, therefore, we recommend always backing up files before you attempt to use the software as behaviour can be unpredictable. There is a low file size limit of around 500MB so we suggest against using it for worlds that have been played for a long period of time.
# Downloading your Server's World
