Hi there! I think I might be experiencing some bugs in MCEdit. Here is what happened. I installed ALL of sethbling's filters and tried to filter a chest with a diamond sword in it with the filter "Modify Item String." But it is as if the filter doesn't exist! It never appears! Many filters don't appear, like Create Geared Mobs, Hedge Maze etc. What do I do?

Are you sure you put your filters in the right folder? There is a folder within the MCEdit directory (or wherever you stored your extracted files) titled <MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64> or something similar that has the filters folder within it.

I am pretty sure. Check this out:-

I'm wondering how you got two MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64 directories-- that may be your problem.

Ok, let me explain why there are two MCEdits. MCEdit downloads a zip file or rar or something like that right? So I chose to extract it to the desktop with the name MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64. Thats the first one. Then, inside this MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64 folder, there were seven
things. These are:-                        

MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64 (folder)
MCEdit-schematics (folder)
ServerJarStorage (folder)
mcedit.exe
mcedit.ini
mcedit.txt
python27.dll

Now, in the very first one (MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64) there are many folders and files, one of which is the filters folder. This is why you see two MCEdit-0.1.6.win-amd64. If this is a problem, tell me.

To be fair, I think I am just about as stumped as you are at this point. Someone else is having a similar issue as well, and it makes me think that you may have run into a rare, but serious, bug with the program.

So nothing to do?

[dbptwg]

Try one of these versions in a new directory:
0.1.5(previous stable) Hosted on GitHub
0.1.7-build395(development version) From MCEdit.net

I would suggest 0.1.5 - It'll do everything you need, and the dev version will likely have more than just one bug, which is currently what you have. You could also try 0.1.6 in a new location, but I assume you'll end up with the same results.

Good luck.

Edit: Those are 64-bit, based on your screenshot. If you need a different version you can find them here and here.

People really rely on these Filters huh?

Finding that fact kind of sad personally..

People doing things the more user-friendly way when they aren't familiar with what's going on is perfectly acceptable. I find it sad that you edit NBT tags instead of writing a program that does it for you, or making your own game that has things set the way you want.

[cadence442]

I agree with dbptwg. Everyone has their own opinions. For me, MCEdit is easier and always will be.

[dbptwg]

Did changing versions fix your problem?

[cadence442]

Only a few filters :/

[dbptwg]

That's... really weird. I don't know what to tell you
