TagHelperPlus
by FRS-Projects
TagHelperPlus is a Forge management tool for reading and editing NBT tags on items in a player's inventory, using selector keywords on server commands.
What it does
The mod targets items through selector keywords. A selector can pick the item in the main hand, one specific slot, the whole inventory without the hotbar, or a single item in an Ender Chest inventory. Selectors use a short list of key words, and the mod's documentation explains how each one picks items, with slot 0 representing the first slot to the left of the hotbar.
Once a selector has chosen items, the tag commands set or remove NBT values on those items. The author calls the mod a tool that can seriously disrupt items, so it should be used with care. Named Binary Tag editing is a server-side operation, and the server must run TagHelperPlus for the commands to work. Players on a client without the mod can still join and play. This is an unofficial fork of Samarium_150's TagHelper, updated with more functionality and newer Minecraft versions, and it is published for Forge only, across 3 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Main hand selector
A selector keyword targets the item currently held in the player's main hand.
Specific slot selector
A selector can point at a chosen inventory slot, with slot 0 as the first slot left of the hotbar.
Whole inventory selector
A keyword selects every item in the inventory except the hotbar, for bulk changes.
Ender Chest selector
A selector can pick a single item from an Ender Chest inventory, not only the player's own items.

Use cases
Editing NBT on a server
Server owners who manage item data can set or remove tags on selected items through commands.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who need to change NBT data on items in player inventories. The author warns that the tag commands can seriously mess up items, so backups are advisable before large edits.
