26.2

owo-lib isn't updated to 26.2 yet, so I'm redistributing an unofficially updated version of it as a supplementary file. Please use the below supplementary file while installing 26.2 version of Item Editor. In older versions you can use official releases.

Overview

Item Editor opens a comprehensive GUI for the currently held item, allowing you to safely modify item data on a draft before applying changes. Designed as a modern alternative to traditional raw NBT data editors, this mod utilizes Minecraft's modern data component system instead of relying solely on outdated raw-NBT workflows.

It features dynamic custom UI editors for modifying item properties, metadata, and components, including menus for special item types such as books, banners, custom fireworks, containers, signs, potions, and more.
