ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16 – 1.20.1

What it does

Running the data get command on a block, entity or the executor normally prints NBT data only in chat, where it cannot be copied or kept. The mod adds two game rules, exportToClipboard and exportToFile. Setting either to true through the world creation screen or with the gamerule command makes each data get result go to the clipboard or to a file in the folder .minecraft/export, named after the time the command ran.

The mod is a Forge utility for Minecraft Java Edition 1.16 – 1.20.1, and its latest Forge file, 1.20.1-1.0.0-beta, was published on 2023-06-20 on the beta channel. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License. The author notes say a Fabric port is welcomed from other developers, and no Fabric build is published at this time.

Key features

  1. Clipboard export

    With the exportToClipboard rule enabled, the result of a data get command is copied to the system clipboard.

  2. File export

    With the exportToFile rule enabled, each result is saved as a file in the export folder inside the game directory.

  3. Game rules

    Both options are plain game rules, set through the world creation screen or the gamerule command.

What the author says

As one of the most common commands, /data get command can read off the NBT data from the targeted block position or entity to the executor. However, the NBT data cannot be exported to the clipboard/file automatically. This mod aims to solve the problem.
