Why NBTExplorer
If you’re a Minecraft modder, you know how challenging it can be to work with Minecraft’s intricate data files. You’ve likely faced frustrations such as:
- Inability to view or modify NBT data inside Minecraft worlds
- Lack of a clear and structured interface to navigate game data
- Risk of corrupting worlds when editing files with low-level tools
- Difficulty in troubleshooting entity or block data issues
- No way to directly access player inventory, chunk data, or entity attributes outside the game
- Incompatibility with modded or custom Minecraft versions
NBTExplorer solves all these problems and more by providing a powerful and intuitive tool designed specifically for editing Minecraft’s NBT data structures. With NBTExplorer, you can:
- View and edit NBT data in Minecraft world saves, player data, and region files using a clean tree-view interface

- Search and locate specific tags across multiple worlds and files for fast debugging or editing
- Work with modded Minecraft saves thanks to full support for custom tags and data formats
