Bedrock Edition level format

Bedrock Edition uses a modified version of Google's LevelDB, which uses the Zlib compression format for level storage.

LevelDB based format
When the LevelDB format was initially introduced in Pocket Edition Alpha 0.9.0, the terrain of each chunk was stored under one key (the "LegacyTerrain" record). This was replaced in Pocket Edition 1.0.0 by the "SubChunkPrefix" record, storing each 16×16×16 subchunk separately as a different leveldb key, analogous to an Anvil "section". A new version of the subchunk format enclosing "Block Storage" records was introduced in Bedrock Edition 1.2.13.

Mojang variant LevelDB format
Mojang's modified LevelDB is available at https://github.com/Mojang/leveldb-mcpe, and the build parameters required to build it are documented by Tommaso at. The Official LevelDB page is at x https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/. To read a Bedrock Edition level see here: https://github.com/tinfoiled/leveldb

Google's leveldb library has evolved extensively since Mojang released their version, but the Mojang version still works (as of 2020). The code does require some minor tweaks to compile:


 * db/snappy_compressor.cc should refer include  instead of 
 * table/table_test.cc contains two references to snappy that are unresolvable but irrelevant. port::Snappy_Compress and leveldb::SnappyCompressor. If these are simply commented out the rest will compile and function properly.

The database is stored in the db/ subdirectory of a Bedrock Edition world. The database path which is passed to the LevelDB API is this directory path, not the path to any file within it. It seems this is also where terrain generation is stored. This is because you can turn an old world infinite by replacing its db folder with one from an infinite world.

Chunk key format
A database key for data regarding a chunk is the concatenation of:
 * Two signed 32-bit little-endian integers (x and z in chunk coordinates, respectively),
 * An optional third 32-bit little-endian integer (1 for the Nether, 2 for the End, omitted for the Overworld),
 * A one-byte tag specifying the type of record represented by the key (see table), and
 * (for a "SubChunkPrefix" record) a one-byte subchunk index (from 0 to 15).

Accordingly, such a key may be 9, 10, 13 or 14 bytes long. Not all subchunks necessarily exist for a given chunk.

The "BlockEntity", "Entity" and "PendingTicks" records are represented by a sequence of concatenated root tags in a variant of NBT which stores the lengths and the multi-byte integer types in little-endian format, as opposed to the big-endian format used by or the original NBT specification. Where numerical IDs are used for entities, they refer to their full IDs as opposed to short IDs.

The value 0 is used in the "Version" record in old style worlds; higher values are used in infinite worlds.

Other keys
There's also the special key ~local_player for an entity data entry that holds the local player entity. If entity data exists here, it takes precedence over the player data stored in level.dat. The value associated with the ~local_player key is NBT encoded and only has a single compound tag at the root level.

There's also a special key for remote players which consists of two parts. The first part is the prefix "player_" (without the quotes) and the second part is the client ID which is contained in the remote player's clientid.txt file. For example, player_-12345678 would be the key for a remote client with an client ID of -12345678. The value associated with the "player_" prefixed key is NBT encoded and only has a single compound tag at the root level.

There's also a special "game_flatworldlayers" key of length 20 for flat worlds. The value associated with this key is a set of numbers in ASCII text format. An example of a value associated with the "game_flatworldlayers" key is "[7,3,3,2]" where the value length for this example is 9.

There are several keys related to villages


 * VILLAGE_[0-9a-f\\-]+_DWELLERS
 * Consists mainly of an entity/mob ID's. Dwellers include villages, iron golems, and cats.
 * VILLAGE_[0-9a-f\\-]+_INFO
 * Includes the village bounding box.
 * VILLAGE_[0-9a-f\\-]+_POI
 * Provides a mapping between villagers and work stations. Bed assignments do not appear to be stored.
 * VILLAGE_[0-9a-f\\-]+_PLAYERS

SubChunkPrefix record (1.0 and 1.2.13 formats)
The original version of the subchunk format is as follows:
 * Version: 1 byte (may be 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7; the game itself writes 0)
 * Block IDs: 4kb, 8 bits per block
 * Block Data: 2kb, 4 bits per block, packed least-significant nybble first
 * Sky Light: 2kb, 4 bits per block
 * Block Light: 2kb, 4 bits per block

The light information may be omitted in chunks saved by more recent versions. If present, it is ignored by the current version.

A new format was introduced in Bedrock Edition 1.2.13 to allow the representation of blocks with IDs outside the 0–255 range, although the old format may remain in existing chunks until they are re-saved. It is as follows:
 * Version: 1 byte (may be 1 or 8)
 * Storage count: 1 byte (omitted if version is set to 1)
 * Zero or more concatenated Block Storage records, as specified by the count (or 1 if version is set to 1).
 * In the majority of cases, there is only one storage record. A second record may be present to indicate block water-logging. Blocks that are not water-logged are given the "air" block.

The Block Storage format, as used in level files (as opposed to the server protocol) is as follows:
 * Storage version: 1 byte. The least significant bit is used as a flag (which should be zero for the format used in save files), while the remainder is used for the bits per block (i.e. ). Valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 16. Used to calculate the number of blocks per 32-bit integer (blocks per word), where.
 * The block states as indices into the palette, packed into  32-bit little-endian unsigned integers. For the   values which are not factors of 32, each 32-bit integer contains two (high) bits of padding. Block state indices are not split across words.
 * Palette size: A 32-bit little-endian integer specifying the number of block states in the palette.
 * The specified number of block states in little-endian NBT format, concatenated.

Blocks are stored column-by-column (incrementing Y first, incrementing Z at the end of the column, incrementing X at the end of the cross-section). This is the opposite order of axes to the one used by the Java Edition formats. Each block state contains a "name" tag specifying the namespaced ID string of the block, and either a "states" tag listing the block state properties or (if the chunk was last saved by Bedrock Edition 1.12.1 or lower) a "val" tag giving the block metadata value.

LegacyTerrain record (0.9.0 format)
The 0x30 terrain data entry appears to contain block data for an x*z*y = 16*16*128 block chunk. The value associated with the 0x30 terrain data key is always of length 83,200 and seems to consist of the following data:
 * 32,768 bytes of block data which appears to be a x*z*y = 16*16*128 block chunk.
 * 16,384 bytes of regular data (one nibble for each byte of block data above).
 * 16,384 bytes of skylight data (one nibble for each byte of block data above).
 * 16,384 bytes of block light data (one nibble for each byte of block data above).
 * 256 bytes of additional data which appears to be a z*x = 16*16 byte array (one byte for each vertical y column of 128 bytes of block data above) containing dirty column info.
 * 1,024 bytes of additional data which appears to be a 16*16*4 byte array (four bytes for each vertical y column of 128 bytes of block data above) containing grass color info.

The following definitions are provided to clarify the mapping between the location of a block within a LevelDB entry containing a chunk of 32,768 blocks and the corresponding location of the block within the entire world: Assuming the definitions above, the location of a block with a LevelDB entry with key values X and Z maps to the corresponding location of the block within the entire world as follows: The x index specifies the North to South location where a smaller value of x is farther North than a larger value of x. The z index specifies the East to West location where a smaller value of z is farther East than a larger value of z. The y index specifies the vertical location where a smaller value of y is at a lower height than a larger value of y. For an old style world, the block at the bottom of the North-East corner of the world is W [0, 0, 0].
 * Let X and Z be the values contained within the LevelDB key.
 * Let C [] be a three dimensional array of the chunk of 32,768 blocks contained within the LevelDB entry. The first two indices i and j range from 0 to 15, and the third index y ranges from 0 to 127.
 * Let W [] be a three dimensional array of the blocks contained within the entire world.
 * For old style worlds, the first two indices x and z both range from 0 to 255. For infinite worlds, the first two indices x and z both range over the values of a four byte integer and may be negative as well as positive.
 * The third index y ranges from 0 to 127 for both old style and infinite worlds.
 * C [i, j, y] <->  W [x, z, y] where x = 16*X + i and z = 16*Z + j

LOG
The LOG files are located at the /db path of a level, and are part of the leveldb format, used in between compaction of the LDB files. It is similar to a Log file for a program. The format is:

YYYY /MM/DD-Hour/Minute/Second.StepName "Info"

Example:

2014/07/24-22:20:08.400488 4a3638 Recovering log #3

level.dat
The level.dat file is in NBT format, based on the format of level.dat in a Desktop world. level.dat is an uncompressed little-endian NBT file that stores environmental data (time of day, for example) and player health, inventory, velocity, and position within the map.

The file begins with an 8-byte header, consisting of a little-endian 4-byte integer indicating the type of the file, which is 3 (was 2 before latest update) for level.dat. It is followed by another integer containing the length of the file, minus the header.

chunks.dat
This file stores all the terrain data that makes up a world. It is comprised of chunks which are 16x16x128 (XZY) block sections of the terrain. It can store a maximum of 1024 chunks (32x32) and 512x512x128 (33,554,432) blocks, however, the game only generates 256 chunks (16x16) and 256x256x128 (8,388,608) blocks by default.

The file is separated into 4kb sectors (4,096 bytes). The first sector is the "chunk index" which defines where in the file and world a specific chunk is located. Every 4 bytes of the chunk index represents 1 chunk. Every 128 bytes of the chunk index represents a column of 32 chunks along the Z axis (North to South). Each subsequent 128 byte section represents 1 row of chunks along the X axis (West to East). But in a default world generated by the game, only 16 chunks are defined for each column and row.

The format of each chunk in the chunk index is only 4 bytes. Ex:. The first byte describes how many 4kb sectors make up the chunk's data. In practice, this is always 21 (0x15). The next three bytes is a little-endian number describing how many 4kb sectors from the start of the file exist before the chunk data begins. If a chunk is not present, all 4 bytes will be zero.

As an example, if a chunk in the chunk index at 1,0 (X,Z) reads  we can locate the chunk data within the file. First we get the decimal representation of the last three bytes which are in little-endian  equals   in decimal. Next we calculate the offset by multiplying our result by the size of a sector. Last we get the decimal representation of the first byte which is always 21 (0x15) and multiply it by the size of a sector. As a result, we know this chunk is located at the decimal offset of  and is   bytes in size.

The actual chunk data stores all the terrain data. This includes blocks, data, skylight, blocklight, and biomes.

The first 4 bytes of the chunk will always be. This is believed to be a magic header to confirm that the following data is indeed chunk data.

The next 32,768 bytes contains the block data. The block order is YZX. Every 1 byte is equivalent to going up vertically along the Y axis. After 128 bytes, the height limit of the world is reached, so we move South 1 block along the Z axis and repeat. After 2,048 bytes (128*16) 1 column of the chunk is finished, so we move East 1 block along the X axis and repeat. In most programming languages, this is just a basic 3d array  ([x][z][y]). To reiterate, every 128 blocks is a column on the Z axis, every 16 columns is a row on the X axis.

The next 16,384 bytes contains the "data" data. Otherwise known at damage, meta, or auxiliary data. It's what gives wool its color and chests their direction etc. Just like the block data, the order is YZX. Since data values only range from 0-15, only half a byte is needed to represent 1 block. So, 1 byte actually represents 2 blocks. Hence why the data section is half as big as the block section. This data is big-endian, so a byte like  actually means the first block at this location has a data value of f, and the second block at this location has a data value of 2.

The next 16,384 bytes contains the skylight data. The format is identical to the previous "data" format. If a skylight value is f, that means the sunlight is fully lighting that block (like air or glass). The less sunlight is present in that block, the lower the value (like semi-transparent blocks such as leaves or water). And when the skylight value is 0, no sunlight is present in that block (like stone or dirt). Because the game automatically generates lighting, it is unimportant to modify this part of the file when generating a world via an outside program.

The next 16,384 bytes contains the blocklight data. The format is identical to the previous skylight format. If a blocklight value is f, that means the block is emitting the max amount of light (like glowstone). The less light a block emits, the lower the value (like powered redstone). And when the blocklight value is 0, no light is being emitted from that block. Because the game automatically generates lighting, it is unimportant to modify this part of the file when generating a world via an outside program.

The last 256 bytes contains the biome data. Each byte corresponds to a specific biome type. The order is XZ. Every 16 bytes is a new row.

entities.dat
This file uses the modified little endian uncompressed NBT format. It appears to store entity information using a format based on the Alpha Level Chunk Format. It also stores tile entity information as well.

The file has a 12 byte header. It begins with the ASCII Characters "ENT", then one zero byte, then a little-endian integer with the value 1, followed by another little endian integer stating the length of the file in bytes, not counting the header.

NBT Structure

 * Root compound tag.
 * : Each TAG_Compound in this list defines an entity in the world. See Entity Format below.
 * : Each TAG_Compound in this list defines a Tile entity, such as a furnace, in the world.

Entity Format
Every entity is an unnamed TAG_Compound contained in the Entities list of a chunk file. The sole exception is the Player entity, stored in level.dat.

All entities share this base:


 * Entity data
 * : Entity Type ID. Known values are 13 for Sheep, 32 for Zombie, and 64 for item drops.
 * : 3 TAG_Floats describing the current X,Y,Z position of the entity.
 * : 3 TAG_Floats describing the current dX,dY,dZ velocity of the entity. (Note: 0,0,0 is no motion.)
 * : Two TAG_Floats representing rotation in degrees.
 * : The entity's rotation clockwise around the Y axis (called yaw). Due west is 0. Can have large values because it accumulates all of the entity's lateral rotation throughout the game.
 * : The entity's declination from the horizon (called pitch). Horizontal is 0. Positive values look downward. Does not exceed positive or negative 90 degrees.
 * : Distance the entity has fallen. Larger values cause more damage when the entity lands.
 * : Number of ticks until the fire is put out. Negative values reflect how long the entity can stand in fire before burning.
