OBX Insight
Modern Item Inspection & Debugging
Inspect any Minecraft item through a clean GUI and understand exactly what is stored inside it.
Unlike traditional item inspection tools, OBX Insight explains item data instead of merely displaying it. Inspection results are organized into clear categories, making it easy to understand how an item is constructed without digging through raw metadata or developer tools.
🔑 Key Features
- Read-only item inspection
- Categorized inventory GUI
- Modern Paper component support
- Persistent Data Container explorer
- Human-readable findings
- Version-aware exports
- Zero database
Why OBX Insight?
Minecraft items have become increasingly complex.
Between custom names, lore, enchantments, attributes, data components, Persistent Data Containers, and plugin-specific metadata, identifying why an item behaves a certain way can be difficult.
OBX Insight organizes everything into focused inspection categories designed for both server administration and plugin development.
Inspection Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Overview | Basic identity, material, rarity, durability, and classification. |
| Appearance | Display names, lore, formatting, models, and tooltip information. |
| Enchantments | Active and stored enchantments, conflicts, and unsafe levels. |
| Attributes | Attribute modifiers, operations, equipment slots, and values. |
| Components | Modern Paper data components and explicit overrides. |
| Persistent Data | Namespaced plugin data stored inside the item. |
| Specialized Metadata | Item-specific information such as books, potions, banners, heads, fireworks, maps, and more. |
| Raw Data | Developer-focused serialized item information. |
| Findings | Warnings, unusual values, unsupported data, and diagnostic insights. |
Exports
