In-Game NBTEdit Reborn
by qyl27
In-Game NBTEdit Reborn lets players open and edit the NBT data of items, entities and blocks while playing, through an in-game editor screen.
What it does
The editor shows an NBT tree that can be navigated, and the tree nodes can be copied, pasted, cut and deleted with keyboard shortcuts. Edits are saved from the same screen, so changes take effect without leaving the world. The author notes that an earlier save problem that disconnected players from a server has been handled.
The mod is released for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering game versions 1.16.5 – 1.21.11 and the latest builds targeting 1.21.11. Both the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required on Fabric builds, and LuckPerms is optional for granting the nbtedit permission node on Forge or NeoForge servers. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Tree node editing
Nodes of the NBT structure can be copied, pasted, cut and deleted using Ctrl with C, V, X and D.
Edits saved in game
Changes to NBT data are written from the in-game editor screen, without a separate tool.
Permission control
Access to the editor can be granted through a permission node, so server owners decide which players may edit data.

Use cases
Server administration
Server staff adjust item or entity data directly in the game instead of using command syntax.
Testing data changes
Players who build packs or maps check how particular NBT values behave by editing them in place.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who manage NBT data on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge servers, and players who edit data in single-player worlds.
How it compares
MTR Rail Works is a client and server mod for Fabric and Forge, released under the MIT License, with files for 1.17.1 – 1.20.4, so it does not cover NeoForge or the newer versions. LuckPerms is server-side only, works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is also under the MIT License, but it manages permissions rather than editing NBT data.

What the author says
Forge, NeoForge, Fabric are supported! Forge、NeoForge、Fabric 均已支持！ If you're using Forge or NeoForge, you may need a permission plugin like LuckPerms to grant permission node nbtedit. to any player, or use as the same as Fabric. 在 Forge 或者 NeoForge 平台使用，可以搭配权限管理模组（例如 LuckPerms）授予玩家 nbtedit. 的权限节点，或者像 Fabric 一样调整配置文件。
