NOTICE: MCPlayerEdit no longer works with newer versions of Minecraft. The storage format has changed and most / all features provided by MCPlayerEdit are now offered directly in Minecraft via player commands. MCPlayerEdit is no longer being maintained. If you want to take over development, drop me an email at the address listed below.
MCPlayerEdit is a Minecraft player- and inventory editor.
Features include:
- Change player health (including god-mode).
- Change player food (including god-mode).
- Switch between Creative and Survival.
- Modifying the inventory.
- Adding kits (collections of items) to the inventory.
- Showing and moving the player and spawn point coordinates.
- Setting the in-game time of day.
- Bookmark locations and warp back to them (works inter-dimensional).
- Track your inventory in case of death.
- Showing the random seed for your world.
- Controlling the weather (turn on/off rain/snow/thunder for a specified time).
- Lose-me function: randomly transport player N meters from current location.
- Commandline history.
- Commandline tab-completion (only on GNU/Linux, WinXP for now).
MCPlayerEdit normally operates in safe-mode, during which it is not possible
to add items to the inventory which cannot be obtained in the game. To turn
safe-mode off, see the safemode command.
This software may corrupt your Minecraft save file(s), and sneak up on you when you least expect it and go SSSSSSssss BOOOM. You have been warned, make backups!
A backup of the level.dat file is automatically created when you make changes. You can find it in your Minecraft Save game folder under the name 'level.dat.bak'. In case of emergency, scream, cry, rename 'level.dat.bak' to 'level.dat' and things should be alright again.

Make sure you are not playing the World in Minecraft before loading the level in MCPlayerEdit, or your changes will not take effect. You can modify a world with Minecraft closed, waiting on the main screen or when playing another World.
You do not have to close MCPlayerEdit after editing a world, but if you have
played the world in Minecraft, please issue a reload before making any
changes.
Some usage examples:
*(You can use tab completion if your on Linux. Tab completion also works on Win XP/7, but is not as full-featured as on Nix systems)
