NBTEditor
NBTEditor allows easy customization of many aspects of Minecraft, through the modification of NBT tags, on Spigot and CraftBukkit servers. Creating custom potions and tools with powerful enchantments is as easy as running a few commands. And with the help of the Book of Souls, it's possible to create highly complex entities and spawners with ease.
Features include:
- Robust system to edit of all entities and spawners using a book based UI (Book of Souls);
- Conversion entities into '/summon' commands;
- Customization of items (name, lore, unbreakable, modifiers, colors on leather armor etc.);
- Item enchanting with no limits;
- Creation of custom potions;
- Conversion of items into '/give' commands;
- Tile customization (spawners, beacons, chests etc.);
- Conversion of tiles into '/setblock' commands;
- and more...
Edit now, spawn later: The Book of Souls is most powerful feature of the NBTEditor, it allows for easy entity customization. Create bosses, custom villagers, flying creepers or anything you like. No data files, no one-time customization, just keep the book safe and you can spawn as many entities as you like.
Included is also an 'Item Storage' command to keep track of your Books of Souls and other edited items.
The variable system used by the NBTEditor ensures that only valid NBT changes are performed while providing a standard way to make those changes. Arbitrary NBT modifications are not possible.


All Items, Entities and Spawners are fully compatible with the Vanilla Minecraft!
Great for creating adventure maps!

Posted Aug 18, 2013I've been having a weird bug with attributes, when I add one to an item, it works as expected, but when I open my inventory the effect dissapears off the item. Currently running 1.6.2-R0.1 with PermissionsEx and a few other minor plugins, any idea what could be causing this?

Posted Aug 15, 2013Hopefully there is more attributes in the next update but you can probably get at least one more update in before 1.7 that is probably going to take forever!

Posted Aug 15, 2013@goncalomb I know about attributes however when adding them to mobs, is there any way to make them negative? Such as a zombie that does 0 damage to players even though it has a diamond sword? The minimum base is 0 and even at 0 the sword increases the damage enough to severely hurt unarmed players.
Amazing plugin by the way. We have a ton of amazing events and boss fights on our server thanks to you!

Redstone with id 331 is not a placed redstone (block) so it cannot be used with the FallingSand BoS, use 55 instead.
To drop redstone on the floor use /bos get Item the /bos items an place a redstone piece on the inventory.
As BlueDwarf said...
@bobthehuntedbobcat
Only Mojang can fix that zombie horse glitch.

Some potion effects in 1.6 were replaced by Attributes (/bos attr add) read more about Attributes here.
The speed effect is MovementSpeed, the strength effect is AttackDamage.

I'm glad you liked my plugin. You can read more about Attributes here.
Turning passive mobs into aggressive ones cannot be one using NBT edition.

Posted Aug 14, 2013I don't know if this is a problem with the plugin, so I will just leave a comment. When I spawn a zombie riding a zombie horse, the zombie is hovering above the horses head. How can I fix this? Anyone?

Redstone isn't a block? Yes it is. I will try your idea anyway though.

Posted Aug 13, 2013Zombies seem to be ignoring any potion effects I give them (via book of souls) aside from fire resistance. I have tested both normal potions from a creative inventory and custom potions via the /nbtpotion command. Edit: Just tested out other mobs and they all seem to be ignoring potion effects.

fallingsand only works for block entities. Redstone(331) is not a block. To get that, use the item entity instead.
If you want falling redstone wire that will place itself where it lands, use block ID 55.

Posted Aug 12, 2013Um I don't know if this is a bug, but I can't make a fallingsand BOS that spawns redstone (331). Please fix this, it is very important. I need to make a redstone spawner for my 24/7 server.

Posted Aug 11, 2013One of the BEST plugins I have ever downloaded! I seen the potion effects and now that you can add speed to your swords is even better! This is just amazing but... I have no idea how to make the attribute commands only some of them but the zombie one with the spawn reinforcements I don't know how to use that. By the way you should add a thing for passive mobs maybe turning them aggressive but I think that won't work maybe it will? Lastly I would like to say good job on the plugin and keep up the good work!

Just tested it with Essentials GroupManager and it worked fine. With the GroupManager you can just do /mangaddp Admin nbteditor.* and /mangaddp Admin customitemsapi.* to give full access to the Admin group.
If you also use Essentials GroupManager and you edited the files directly make sure you do /manload to load all files!
Anyway the only permission that you need to add are nbteditor.* and customitemsapi.*

Unfortunately, this isn't working for me. I added:
- nbteditor.*
- customitemsapi.*
- customitemsapi.use.*
- nbteditor.use.*
and none of them are working. Am I doing something wrong?

It only has one permission node for each command.
Read about permissions here (expand each command to see his permission node).
To give access to all features, e.g. for admins, just give the permission nbteditor.* and customitemsapi.*
I may add permissions for individual sub-commands in the future but its not a priority.
