About NBTEditor

From SpigotMC

In-game NBT editor for Bukkit. Edit entities and items with ease. 150,000+ downloads on since 2013.

NBTEditor allows easy customization of many aspects of Minecraft, through the modification of NBT tags. Creating custom potions and tools with powerful enchantments is as easy as running a few commands. And with the help of the Book of Souls, it's possible to create highly complex entities and spawners with ease.

Features include:

  • Robust system to edit of all entities and spawners using a book based UI (Book of Souls);
  • Conversion entities into '/summon' commands;
  • Customization of items (name, lore, unbreakable, modifiers, colors on leather armor etc.);
  • Item enchanting with no limits;
  • Creation of custom potions;
  • Conversion of items into '/give' commands;
  • Tile customization (spawners, beacons, chests etc.);
  • Conversion of tiles into '/setblock' commands;
  • and more...
Edit now, spawn later: The Book of Souls is most powerful feature of the NBTEditor, it allows for easy entity customization. Create bosses, custom villagers, flying creepers or anything you like. No data files, no one-time customization, just keep the book safe and you can spawn as many entities as you like.

Included is also an 'Item Storage' command to keep track of your Books of Souls and other edited items.

The variable system used by the NBTEditor ensures that only valid NBT changes are performed while providing a standard way to make those changes. Arbitrary NBT modifications are not possible.
