I've actually done this a few times - taken a copy of a world from my Xbox One so that I could play it on my Windows 10 PC (the concept is the same) - but there are a couple of prerequisites: Show
Using a pre-existing world on your realmOnce you have a Realms/Realms Plus subscription, you can choose any of your worlds from your Xbox One (Bedrock Edition) to use on the Realm by doing the following:
Now, at this point, you can do a couple of different things. You can either leave this world on your realm so that it can be played by anyone you've invited at any time. All changes from any players will be persistent and show up for everyone else anytime they log in. A realm is, by definition, invite-only, so only those people to whom you've given explicit permission to join will be able to access it, so you don't necessarily have to worry about random "griefers". Your other option is to download the world to your new device to play it locally. Of course, this means that any changes you make in the local copy will need to be re-uploaded if you want them available on other devices. However, this can be a useful tool for creating copies of your realm world for testing out certain builds and such (if that's something you're in to). To download the world from your realm for local play, simply click the pencil icon next to your realm on the world selection screen and you'll see an option to "Download World". The game will process the game information and make a local copy of the realm world, which will show up in your main worlds list. Migrating a world from Xbox One Edition to Bedrock EditionIf you are wanting to play an older world from the Xbox One Edition of Minecraft on your realm, you'll need to follow these additional steps to migrate/convert that world to the Bedrock Edition format:
Final ThoughtsIf you're starting with a world from an even "older" generation (e.g., Xbox 360 Edition), it becomes a bit more complicated as those worlds cannot be directly migrated to Bedrock Edition. Worlds from the Xbox 360 Edition will first need to be converted to the Xbox One Edition before they can be moved to Bedrock Edition. More information on migrating worlds from various console-specific editions to Bedrock Edition can be found in the official Minecraft Help Center. See the section titled Minecraft on Consoles for details. Lastly, just for the sake of completeness, for anyone who's wanting to copy a Bedrock Edition world from one PC to another, you can simply transfer the RELATEDI found another, similar question here (How to share worlds between platforms with Minecraft Better Together) that offers some possible alternatives to using Realms, but I've not tried these other methods and can't speak to their functionality or reliability. Can you transfer Minecraft worlds in Bedrock?Bedrock is a simple app with a simple concept: It syncs your Minecraft worlds across devices. To do this, Bedrock makes use of your Google Drive account to upload your worlds to the cloud. Once you're logged in, on any Android device, you can upload, download, and sync worlds with the touch of a button.
How do you import a world in Minecraft?Import. From the Minecraft start screen, click “PLAY". Click the icon that reads "IMPORT" on the Play screen.. Find the . mcworld file and select it to import.. Can you import worlds from Java to Bedrock?While this seems simple on the surface, worlds are not compatible between versions by default. Thankfully a website called Chunker allows you to upload worlds and convert them to alternate versions. Through the use of this site, you can easily convert a Bedrock server world for use on Java edition.
