Extract text from Blockbench settings files (BBSETTINGS)
To convert BBSETTINGS settings files to another format, you need Blockbench or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration File" file type, you need software like Blockbench or a similar tool.
A .bbsettings file is a configuration file created and used by Blockbench, a popular, free 3D modeling tool heavily utilized by the Minecraft community and indie game developers. It stores user-specific workspace preferences, such as interface themes, custom keybindings, plugin configurations, and layout adjustments.
The main disadvantage of this format is its highly specific use case. It is tightly coupled to the Blockbench application. Users often confuse .bbsettings files with actual 3D model files (like bbmodel), leading to extreme frustration when trying to open them in other 3D software or game engines. Standard online converters fail to process these files because they do not contain media, 3D mesh data, vertices, or textures.
Because it is a closed, proprietary settings format, you cannot convert a .bbsettings file into a 3D object like an OBJ or GLTF. Often, only the original software can properly read or apply the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as plain text or JSON structure - viewing or conversion to formats like TXT or JSON may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BBSETTINGS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BBSETTINGS converter.
