'''NBTExplorer''' is a low-level graphical [[NBT]] (Named Binary Tag) data editor for ''[[Minecraft]]''. With a directory-tree interface for easily exploring multiple worlds, and support for the latest NBT standard, NBTExplorer is built on top of [http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/1261313-sdk-substrate-map-editing-library-for-c-net-1-3-8 Substrate]. Almost all things in a map in any ''Minecraft'' version is built with NBT, so you can usually change the datas for the newest version without updating NBTExplorer.

== Usage ==
NBT tags control every world parameter, such as [[ender chest]] items, player's inventory, gamemode, whether the world is Hardcore or not and many other things. NBTExplorer can be used to view and change data, with uses including:
; Changing [[level.dat]], including but not only:
* Locate in-game [[structures]];
* Add or change items, and adding [[enchantments]];
* Access to the world seed;
* Changing [[Commands#gamerule|gamerule]]s without usage of the {{cmd|gamerule}} command or new gamerule changer built in when creating a world;
* Applying custom [[formatting]] to world or server names;
* Change the world's name;
* Change the players [[game mode]], health, position and so on. For example, if the player is in an "illegal area" and can't teleport back with {{cmd|tp}}, this function can change the player's position.
* Change the settings for terrain generation, while it doesn't affect the generated [[chunk]]s;
; Changing regions and chunks, including but not only:
* Change the [[biome]]s for chunks;
* Change the mob datas or delete mobs. For example, if there are too many entities resulting in crashes, this can delete the mobs;
* Change the block entity data. Including [[command block]]s, [[chest]]s, [[sign]]s and so on.
* Cheats ON

== Compatible Formats ==
* Standard NBT files (e.g. level.dat)
* Schematic files
* Uncompressed NBT files (e.g. idcounts.dat)
* Minecraft region files (*.mcr)
* Minecraft anvil files (*.mca)
* Cubic Chunks region files
