As I'm sure you've heard before there is such a variety of information between 2012 and now about MCEdit and MCPE (Pocket Edition) that I've gotten lost in the confusion.
I have both a Minecraft PC 1.9 server and a new MCPE 0.14 server and I'm trying to copy some of the structures out of my PC map and place them in the PE map. I can Download and edit the PC version map easily enough but I'm having trouble opening the 0.14 PE map with MCEdit 1.5. It says "this world appears to be completely empty" and wants to generate chunks.
The thing I'm struggling with is the PE server only has the level.dat file and a directory called "regions" which has what seems to be the chunks. I copied the level.dat and regions to my local pc and try to open level.dat and get the above message about being empy. It's as though MCEdit doesn't "see" the region files. I tried copying them into the same directory as the level.dat and still no avail.
I'm wondering if I'm missing some step here folks can you help me out or point me in the right direction?
So I played around a little bit with converting region files to Anvil but that doesn't really get me anywhere other than MCEdit WILL open the level.dat with with .mca files. The problem here is the level seems to be a different one than my PE level and of course has none of my structures in it. EVEN IF it did, not sure how I could convert BACK to region files so I could reload the map on my server.
I think this is a dead end and we are all just waiting for the next PE release that allows editing again or for Microsoft/Mojang to release a version that is cross platform. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks

That's helpful...
