Item Editor
by SatDPhoe
Item Editor is a Forge administrative tool for changing the stack count, damage, attributes, enchantments, effects and tooltip flags of existing items through an in-game interface.
What it does
Item Editor opens a clean in-game UI where an administrator can edit an item's basic structure: stack count, damage value and custom data, without rebuilding the item from scratch. The tool is meant for quick adjustments during development, such as tuning test items or balancing gear on a server.
Dedicated sections cover the most common customization needs. Attribute editing supports vanilla attribute modifiers and Curios-style modifiers, with fields for the attribute amount, the equipment slot and entry management. Enchantments can be managed directly in the editor, and custom effects can be configured with duration, amplifier, chance, target behavior, particles and icons. The mod also controls which tooltip information is shown or hidden, and it can create spawn eggs for entities.
Installation needs Forge only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest Forge file is 2.0.0 for 1.20.1. The code is closed: the mod is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Basic item structure editing
Stack count, damage value and custom data can be changed on an existing item from the editor screen.
Attribute modifiers
Health, armor, attack damage, movement speed, reach and other attributes can be added, edited or removed, with vanilla and Curios-style modifiers supported.
Enchantment management
Enchantments can be added and adjusted directly in the editor, which suits custom loot and enchantment test setups.
Custom item effects
Effects can be configured for different situations, with values for duration, amplifier, chance, target behavior, particles and icons.
Tooltip and flag control
Tooltip information can be shown or hidden, and supported hidden flags keep custom items clean and readable for players.
