Nautilus Studio - Packs Editor IDE
Nautilus Studio is a client-side editor for building datapacks and resource packs in-game, opening a generated form for each file type instead of hand-written JSON.
What it does
The editor opens alongside a running game. A player picks a data file, fills in a generated form, saves it, and triggers a reload to see the change in the running game.
Modded content is handled too. Anything a mod registers with a codec appears in the editor by default, and most mods work without extra setup. Edits are written to pack files on disk and reloaded on the client, so no server is needed. Nautilus Studio is distributed for Fabric and NeoForge, with files covering 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2 under the MIT License, not open source.
Key features
Generated data forms
Forms are built from the game's own definitions for worldgen, loot, recipes, advancements and dimensions.
Modded content support
Codecs registered by other mods show up in the editor, with a validated raw-JSON editor as the fallback.
Live reload
Changes are saved to the pack on disk and reloaded on the client so the result shows in the running world.
CodecUI widgets
Color pickers, sliders, dropdowns and sum-type builders replace plain text fields where a mod opts in through SchemaCodec.
