Minecraft DAT Editor

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🟢 What is a DAT or NBT file in Minecraft?

DAT and NBT files are data files used by Minecraft to store information such as inventories, entities, chunks, or player data. They are encoded in the NBT (Named Binary Tag) format, which can be complex to edit without the right tool.

🛠 How does this editor work?

Simply load a .dat or .nbt file by clicking the "Choose a file" button. The content will be displayed as editable JSON. Once you're done editing, you can export the modified file as .dat or .nbt.

🧪 Can I edit my inventory or player stats with this tool?

Yes! If you load a playerdata file, you can edit the inventory, effects, position, etc. Make sure not to corrupt the file by deleting essential fields.

💾 Are my files sent to a server?

No, all files are processed locally in your browser. Your data stays on your device and is never sent over the Internet.

📦 Does this site work with modded files?

Yes, as long as the files are in NBT format. However, some mod-specific data may not be displayed in a readable form.

📁 Where can I find my DAT/NBT files?

DAT/NBT files are located in the .minecraft/saves/YOUR_WORLD_NAME/ folder. For example, player data is in the playerdata folder, and global data is in level.dat.

🔐 Is this site secure?

Absolutely. No data is stored or transferred. The application runs entirely on the client side (in your browser).
