Quick Start

AnkiNBT is a client-side editor for item data, entity data and Minecraft data components. Pick the right jar, place it in your mods folder, then hold an item or hover one in an inventory and press N.

Pick The Right File

Loader	Download file	Java
Fabric	AnkiNBT-Fabric-mcVersion-2.0.0.jar	Java 21 for the 1.21 line, Java 25 for the 26.x line
NeoForge	AnkiNBT-NeoForge-mcVersion-2.0.0.jar	Java 21 for the 1.21 line, Java 25 for the 26.x line
