zNBTEditor
by Zyrkalon
zNBTEditor lets players change item components in-game with the znbteditor command, so an item's name, lore, rarity or durability can be set without external tools.
What it does
Edits are made with the znbteditor command, also reachable through the zne and znbt aliases. Changes cover item components directly: an item can be renamed with inline color formatting, given lore lines with full color code support, set to a rarity of COMMON, UNCOMMON, RARE or EPIC, made unbreakable, have its damage or durability changed, or have its enchantment glint removed. The stack count can be set anywhere from 1 to 99.
The command works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers, and command blocks can run it without restrictions. Creative mode is required on multiplayer servers. The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.11 and the 26.x releases up to 26.2; the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.2, released on 2026-07-01. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
