Code snippets seem to reference the feature
Building things inMinecrafttakes a long time. Even in the vastly quicker Creative mode, you’re limited to constructing your grand designs block-by-block. That might change soon, if leaked footage which appears to show a Minecraft Bedrock edition world editor mode is legitimate.
As spotted byEurogamer, the footage was sharedon Twitterby user ‘Roger Badgerman’:
Don’t worry creators! I have things for you as well…Here’s a sneak-sneak peak at Bedrock’s work-in-progress editor modepic.twitter.com/DIAzpEK24z
There are already third-party tools that can open Minecraft Java edition world files and offer a new interface for flying around them and interacting with them. Some larger build projects you’ve seen were likely constructed in the Java edition and ported to Bedrock afterwards for that reason.
Rumours of a Bedrock edition editor have been swirling for a while, however, due to supposed references to it in the code:

These two items combined paint a believable picture - although the feature remains unconfirmed, and even if it’s real, it’s anyone’s guess as to when it would be released. Mojang are currently working on theTrails & Tails update, which will add archaeology, a cherry blossom biome, and the publicly-voted Sniffer mob and which is currently available in beta.
