MCC Tool Chest: legacy console NBT editor for Minecraft

August 30, 2026

A new save editor has been added for Minecraft, featuring two essential tools.

MCC Tool Chest

Created by A Cynodont, this legacy editor allows you to:

  • Edit NBT data for blocks, entities, and items
  • Convert worlds between Java, Bedrock, and legacy console editions
  • Modify biomes and perform global dimension replacements

Minecraft PS3 Game Resigner

After modifying a world with MCC Tool Chest, use this tool to resign the GAMEDATA file so it works on your PS3. It can also correct region mismatches for downloaded worlds. Just copy the GAMEDATA file to a world created on your console and resign.

As always, thanks for viewing PS3 World and feel free to submit suggestions via our contact form.
