Item Editor is an administrative item editing tool for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, designed for server owners, modpack creators, map makers, RPG projects, and testing environments.
It provides a clean in-game interface for editing custom items without manually writing commands or dealing with complex item data by hand. Instead of rebuilding items from scratch every time you need a small change, you can open the editor with a keybind, adjust the item, and save it directly.
Item Editor is especially useful when creating custom rewards, RPG gear, test items, server tools, balanced progression items, spawn eggs, or special equipment for modded servers.
Item Editor includes dedicated sections for the most common item customization needs:
Edit the basic structure of an item:
This is useful for quickly changing an item while keeping its custom data, or adjusting test items during development.
Add, edit, and remove item attributes through a visual interface.
Supported attribute editing includes:
This makes it easier to create items that modify health, armor, attack damage, movement speed, reach, or other attributes depending on the mods available in your pack.
Manage enchantments directly from the editor:
This is useful for creating custom loot, admin rewards, RPG gear, or testing enchantment setups.
Configure custom item effects for different situations:
Effects can be configured with values such as duration, amplifier, chance, target behavior, particles, icons, and related display settings depending on the effect type.
This is especially useful for RPG-style items, custom server equipment, special weapons, accessories, or modpack progression rewards.
Control what information is shown or hidden on the item tooltip.
Supported hidden flags include:
This helps keep custom items clean and readable, especially when making items for players instead of only for internal testing.
One of Item Editor’s main features is its dedicated spawn egg editor.
When editing a spawn egg, the UI provides extra tools for configuring the entity that will be spawned. This allows server owners and map makers to create more controlled entity setups without manually editing entity data.
The spawn egg editor supports:
This is useful for creating custom mobs, bosses, NPC-like entities, event mobs, RPG encounters, dungeon rewards, testing entities, or controlled server content.
Open the editor using the Item Editor keybind.
You can change the keybind in Minecraft’s controls menu:
Options → Controls → Key Binds → Item Editor
Use the keybind while holding an item, or while hovering over an item slot when supported.
Access is restricted to players with operator permission level 2. Players without the required permission cannot open or save edited items.
Item Editor is intended for administrative use.
For multiplayer servers, the mod should be installed on both the client and the server:
This prevents normal players from editing items unless they have the required server permission level.
Babel Core is required.
