NBTNav

View NBT files within a terminal window.

Installation

I'm too lazy to provide download links, but luckily Golang makes compiling from source really easy.

1. install Golang and set your GOPATH.
2. (Optional) Add $GOPATH/bin to your system path
3. Run go get github.com/deanveloper/nbtnav
4. The executable is now located at $GOPATH/bin/nbtnav. If you skipped step 2, either move or symlink this file to one of the directories in your PATH

Usage

Use nbtnav <file> to view an nbt file! Easy as that.

Commands

Once you have run nbtnav <file>, you will be given a command prompt. The command names in NBTNav are inspired by those found in bash.

• help: Lists all commands
• cd <compound>: Moves into an NBT Compound
• ls [compound]: Lists all elements within the compound you are in, or the one that you supply
• tree [compound]: Similar to ls, but does a deep search, showing the entire tree
• cat <tag>: Displays the value at a given tag
• save [compress] [output] : Saves the current NBT tree to output. compress can be any of gzip, zlib, or none(default). output is the output file and defaults to the original file name.
• set <tag> <type> [value]: Sets the tag to the give type and value
• exit: Exits NBTNav

Future Features

• Sort NBT tags in the order they appear in (not a necessary feature, but could possibly be useful somehow)
