What Minecraft NBT Editor is

Minecraft NBT Editor is a free, Python-based tool for viewing and editing Minecraft NBT data, including Bedrock editions. It supports all NBT tag types and operations to create, read, update, delete, move, and composite-edit data. It works with .dat, .nbt, .mca, and .mcstructure files, and covers Java Edition big-endian NBT and Bedrock Edition little-endian NBT with optional 8-byte headers. Supported compression includes Gzip, Zlib, and uncompressed data. After installation, users can run the `minecraft-nbt` or `nbt-editor` command to view and edit files. The command-line tools search by value, tag type, name pattern, or path, and convert NBT files to JSON. A Bedrock-specific command can enable listed experimental features and accepts a backup option. The project recommends installation from PyPI with pip or from source. It supports Linux, Windows, and macOS and is licensed under MIT. PyPI classifies the intended audience as developers and the development status as Alpha. The free plan is listed as free and requires Python 3.8 or later.
