Importing from Minecraft

If you play(ed) Minecraft before and wish to continue in VoxeLibre, you will have to

• convert a Minecraft world into a Luanti world
• convert a Minecraft schematic into a Luanti schematic

We will cover mainly the first of those two actions, as the conversion of schematics has a block count limit.

Convert Minecraft world into Luanti world

I will describe the process I used to be able to continue on my build of Mt. Saint Michel in a non Microsoft environment. I played Minecraft Java on a exaroton server. To be able to convert the world, you have to download the world from the server. In your downloads, you should have now a folder /world.

Conversion is done with a fork of mc2mt from DragonWrangler1 (see here). Usage is straight forward:

usage: mc2mt.py [OPTIONS] input output

Convert maps from Minecraft to Minetest.
