NBT For Give
by KOTNK_XD
NBT For Give is a Fabric client-side utility that copies the exact give command for a held item, including its components, to the clipboard.
What it does
The mod builds a /give command that reproduces a held item with its full component data, then places the result on the clipboard. A default key, H, can be changed in the Controls options, and pressing it copies the command straight away without opening the chat window. The mod also offers a give JSON/SNBT output, so players can read the item data in either format.
Chat messages longer than 256 characters are split into chunks of 256 characters and sent one after another, which bypasses the normal chat length limit. The parts are queued with a 10-tick (0.5 second) delay between them, which is meant to keep the server from flagging the sender for spam. Only the client runs the mod, so a server needs nothing installed for these features to work on a player's side. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 26.3, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
