NBT Editor
NBT Editor lets players view and change the NBT data of items, blocks and entities from inside the game, through a graphical screen.
What it does
Editing covers items, blocks and entities, and includes the contents of containers such as chests and enderchests. A get command hands out items, creates blocks or spawns entities with chosen NBT, so builders can set up exact results without editing save files by hand. Export and import move item, block, entity and command data, including spawn eggs, in .nbt form.
The mod works like a multi-page enderchest across a server or a singleplayer world, and its factory system bundles common NBT edits into reusable steps. A player with only the client installed can still edit items in creative mode without operator status, and the server may add the mod for operator editing; the server does not have to run it. An optionally installed server mod lets operator players edit NBT on the server. Fabric API is required, and NBT Autocomplete is an optional dependency. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.17 – 1.21.4 and the latest Fabric build 2.0.3 for 1.21.4.
Key features
In-game NBT editing
Items, blocks and entities can be edited directly in a graphical interface, without external tools.
Container editing
The contents of chests, enderchests and other containers can be changed, including the NBT of the items inside.
Get command
A command gives items, creates blocks and spawns entities with the NBT the player specifies.
Factory system
Common NBT changes can be packaged as factories, which makes repeated edits quicker to apply.

What the author says
If optionally installed on the server, this mod allows you OPed players to edit the NBT of items, blocks, and entities. If only installed on the client, you can still edit items in creative mode, even without OP.
