Dynamic In-Game NBT Editor
by whyvo
Dynamic In-Game NBT Editor, DINE, lets a player open and change the NBT data of an entity or block entity while playing.
What it does
Open the editor on a targeted entity or block entity from the right-click context menu, or look up an entity by its UUID or a block entity by its position. Each lookup opens its own screen, and open screens are listed in a horizontally scrolling tab bar at the top. The NBT appears as an unfoldable tree, and the editor refreshes it every tick so changes to the entity show up as they happen.
Edits are sent to the server as data commands, so the server applies them. The Query on the server option fetches data for a screen, and the screen otherwise uses NBT data kept locally on the client. The displayed data is synchronized with the server within a tick. Installing DINE on a dedicated server causes problems, because the mod is client-side only. Players need enough permission for the server to accept queries and edits; the default server-side permission check rejects a query when the level is too low. Config is a Java Properties file, loaded on start and reloaded by F3+T.
Key features
Entity and block entity editing
NBT of entities and block entities can be viewed and modified through dedicated screens.
Tabbed screens
Several editor screens stay open at once, and the tab bar scrolls horizontally when there are many.
Tree view
NBT is shown as a tree whose nodes can be folded and unfolded, with a vertical scroll.
Live refresh
The displayed values are refreshed each tick so changes to a targeted entity are visible at once.
