Minecraft – MCEdit still usable? – Transfer old Minecraft buildings to a new world

mceditminecraft-java-edition

Back then in ~2011/2012 it was pretty usual to use MCEdit to transfer objects into other worlds.

Can you still use this tool? I remember some issues, if you hadn't updated it to the current version of Minecraft, but I saw that the last update of MCEdit was in 2013. My last world got messed up after some time (weird biome-generation and stuff) and I wondered if this may be because of MCEdit.

Or do you have other recommendations? WorldEdit is not an option for me, since my server doesn't run Bukkit. I would like to use an external tool to modify my worlds.

It actually is usable. However, please note that most of the 1.8 blocks have not been implemented yet.

Yep. Really broken... And whoops!
This is the support for 1.8 blocks in MCEdit; practically close to none.

The actual map. 1.8 works fine.


Alternatively, you can run a locally hosted Bukkit server and install WorldEdit on it.
