Extract text from Minecraft shader configs (JSH)
To convert JSH shader configs to another format, you need Minecraft Bedrock Edition or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Shader Program File" file type, you need software like Minecraft Bedrock Edition or a similar tool.
A .jsh file is predominantly a shader program file utilized by the Minecraft Bedrock Edition's RenderDragon graphics engine. These files store material definitions, rendering parameters, and shader configurations using standard JSON formatting. A smaller percentage of .jsh files function as JAWS Script Header files for the JAWS screen reader software developed by Freedom Scientific.
The main disadvantage of .jsh files is their highly specific application context and obscure extension. While they are essentially plain text formatted as JSON, the proprietary .jsh extension prevents standard code editors, web browsers, and operating systems from recognizing them automatically. Standard online converters often fail to process them because they do not recognize the extension as a standard text or code format. If you attempt to open a .jsh file directly, your system will likely prompt you to search the app store for an unknown program.
The most practical solution is to convert the file to JSON or TXT so you can seamlessly edit the code in an IDE like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform inspects the internal file signature. Because we detect the underlying JSON structure embedded within the .jsh file, you can instantly view the text-based internal content and safely extract the raw code without losing the strict formatting required by the game engine.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JSH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JKM, OWL and JSF files.
If you want to convert JSH file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Minecraft Bedrock Edition or similar software from the "Minecraft Shader Definition" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to JSH, try Minecraft Bedrock Edition or another comparable tool in the "Minecraft Shader Definition" category.
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 JSH converter.
