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 Oct 1, 2013This plugin not knows too mutch tags, and the ones what it knows (for me) seems fairly incomplite(like the mobs need potions to set effects, but no potion editing feature, and this is just one thing.).

Download the zip file, inside there is a single jar file (NBTEditor.jar). Just put it on the plugins folder of your server. This is a server plugin, not a mod.
If you are using 1.5.2 download v0.0.6.

Hmm. Weird. I'll have to toy around with it a bit more then!
Thanks for the quick response!
Also, nice plugin! I really like what it has to offer, I can't say that I've been as excited about a plugin as I have been with this one.

Posted Sep 11, 2013A new version is up!
It adds the ability to spawn Falling Sand entities with tile entity data e.g. a chest with items.
Left-click a block while sneeking and holding a BoS for Falling Sand, to copy the block data.

1.6 added attributes, that changed some stuff, including the health and some potion effects.
For the increased health to take effect you need to also set the MaxHealth attribute /bos attr add MaxHealth 400.
More on Attributes here...
I cannot find any problems with the Protection enchantment.

Posted Sep 10, 2013I seem to be having trouble changing mobs health when using the book of souls... I type: /bos var health 400
And the mob still has its default health. Similarly, custom levels of the Protection enchant don't seem to have any affect on a given mob.
At least from the Book of Souls spawning method, I have yet to test it with spawners. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced the same thing or if I'm being slightly derpy.

Figured out what I did wrong. I did everything correctly. When editing an nbts variable, you gotta wait for the old mob to spawn before it takes on the new variable. I copied it too soon. XD

As I said before the lag that you are experiencing is not from a plugin, but form the Minecraft mechanics itself.
Oh, yes, FollowRange may be the cause of that lag, higher FollowRange forces the server to work harder to find paths for the mobs to walk. Once again this is not the plugins fault, th NBTEditor only allows you to change the variables. All variables are already within Minecraft itself.

maybe i can share you my plugins for private mesage and you can say to me wath is the plugin making that ¨Lag¨ when summoning bosses with all that movement speed and followrange?
if you say yes, be sure to make the skeleton/zombie atributes to movementSpeed to 0.5 and followrange to 200, 400 or 500

I just tested it and it works fine for me, make sure you set the position correctly, before copying the spawner to the MinecraftSpawner BoS.
When you left-click with the MinecraftSpawner BoS, it should spawn the minecart and the minecart should start spawning the mod at the correct position.

Currently you cannot edit fireworks effects with the NBTEditor,. You can make them on the crafting table then use, /bos items, while holding a FireworksRocketEntity BoS and drag the item to the inventory. That will bind the BoS with that rocket, them you can change other variables like lifetime/life etc..
