CAD Editor
by Rinorsi
CAD Editor lets players change items, blocks and entities through a visual editor opened inside the current game world.
What it does
The mod is a maintained continuation of the Component Data Editor project, previously known as IBE Editor, and was refactored from the original work by Skye. The source is released under the MIT License, and the original author and license notices are kept in the code. The author states an affiliation with the official Skye version.
Editing covers the data components system of recent Minecraft releases, including Custom Model Data, attributes, enchantments, names and lore, containers and loot tables, potion effects, and sign text. Changes are made in a simple in-game interface, so no external tool or command is needed for these fields.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds at 0.5.6 for 26.3 and the latest Forge build at 0.5.3 for 1.21.11. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
