ItemEditor
ItemEditor lets players change an item's name, lore, count and attributes in-game through a graphical interface, without typing long commands.
What it does
Minecraft normally needs long commands or external plugins to alter an item's properties. This client-side Fabric mod opens a graphical editor instead, so a player can adjust the held item within seconds. The editor covers core item attributes, and it supports standard formatting codes for colored text in names and lore.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Files target 1.21.1 only and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Because items carrying excessive data can cause performance problems or even chunk corruption, the mod warns when a change approaches unsafe limits.
Key features
Graphical item editor
A screen in the game lets the player change item properties without entering commands.
Name and lore editing
The display name and lore description can be rewritten, with full color formatting support.
Attribute search
Attributes can be searched by name, which helps when an item carries many modifiers.
Count, hand and glint controls
The stack count and hand placement can be changed, and the enchantment glint can be overridden or the tooltip hidden.
Unsafe-limit warnings
The mod warns the player when an edit would push an item toward data sizes known to cause lag or corruption.

Use cases
Building custom items on a survival world
A player can rename or reword an item and add lore directly in the game, without leaving play to run commands.
Preparing items for a map or adventure
Creators working in single-player can set counts, names and attributes for items used in a scenario.
Who it’s for: Players and map makers on Fabric who want to edit items inside the game. Servers do not need the mod, because it runs on the client alone.
How it compares
Nice Attributes is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it covers a wider version range. Beautiful Tooltips is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.3, and it changes how tooltips look rather than editing items. CobblemonEditor is a client and server mod for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1, and both sides must run it.
