Well we done that already.

I know i just said that we can already convert textures & stuff & that converting maps could be possible.
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 02:54Could we convert mods from minecraft also?
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 03:47I don't think so; minecraft is java...
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 05:36jpenguin is right and java has more possibility's so no.
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 06:26Well to do this a good place to start would be to look at the Minecraft level format:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Level_Format
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Chunk_format
From there you would have to write a parser that will convert that to the Minetest format:
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/mapformat.txt
Id say it's possible but it would require a bit of work.

What if the map extends beyond 31000?

It would have to be cropped/truncated. Minecraft maps can be > 31000? Did not know that.

What issues did you run into?

The files do not convert into like meta.inf.
the coding was incompatable
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 12:18does it actually work?
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 15:38There are at least two solutions for Minecraft classic format:
- mcimport works on (unzipped) level.dat files
- java-based external converter by sfan5 that works by creating worldedit schematics
The format of the survival version of Minecraft to my knowledge has not been convertet yet. Maybe it would make more sense in this case to export single intresting buildings and reimport them in Minetest.

Posted: Thu May 09, 2013 21:22The only way to convert minecraft mods would be:
1. Buy a java decompiler
2. Look at the coding of the mod
3.Completely re-write it in lua
4.Pray it works
5.XD!

6. Write it again from scratch because the implementation is copyrighted under a non-free license.
7. ???
8. Profit

It has nothing to do with Java
