Thanks. So how do I get Mono?

You could search on Google or go here:

http://www.go-mono.c...s/download.html

Once you install mono, go to Terminal to the directory where you have the NBTExplorer.exe file. Then run:

mono ./NBTExplorer.exe

You should then be able to use the application.

I also have the issue running the Mac version on 10.6. It throws this error in the system log:

12/11/12 5:19:22 PM NBTExplorer[63057] *** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: NSColor)

I don't see another debug log for additional information. I can try playing with XCode to track down the issue as suggested earlier. It may take a little bit for me to get to it. In the meantime the Windows/Linux version is working fine.

How can I use this for custom player heads?

Can you explain what you mean?

I mean how can I use this to create custom head items in minecraft. I tried to mirror the NBTedit steps in this but it does not work. I know that the world updated because I changed some other stuff.

Are you referring to skull items?

Look at the NBT Schema for items (http://www.minecraft...ayer.dat_format), and you'll see that there's a "SkullOwner" tag you can put on the skull item, within its "Tag" node, and it should be a player's name. Since I don't know what the NBTedit instructions are that you're referring to, I can't offer any guidance as to why they are or aren't working. Reopen the file in NBTExplorer and confirm that the changes you made actually saved.

the way you are supposed to do it is get the head item in inventory and then in NBTedit add a tag saying SkullOwner: (player name) and then ingame it will look like that players head. I dont know what I am doing wrong.

It's important that the tag is placed in the correct location. It should be a child of the item's "tag" node. If there is no "tag" node, then you need to create that first as a new compound node. Look at the wiki links I provided. They show the relationship of all data that you can put on an item, formatted similar to what it would look like in NBTExplorer. Also capitalization matters.

I think I under stand but what kind of tag, compound, list, string, long, ect?

Quote from jaquadro

"tag" is a compound, "SkullOwner" is a string.

If you hover your cursor over the node icons in the wiki, the tooltip will tell you what kind of tag to use (if it was not clear from the icon itself).

look I put in the head item I have in my inventory and add compound ,name, tag with a string saying SkullOwner:SethBling and nothing happens when I log in to the game! and when I re open NBTexplorer the compound and the string in it are gone. and I know that this specifically is the problem as I have edited some other stuff while I am at it and it all transfers in game!

Can you please work on array editing for mac? I really want to change the colors of my fireworks...

I did some testing, I think the missing piece is you must set the "damage" value of the object to "3", which indicates it's a human head. Minecraft preserved the owner tag when I did that, but my player is the default skin so I don't actually know if it was honored.

Ok great I had to use the level.dat file and I was using the player file

The program does look for files with a .nbt extension. If they are not recognized, then perhaps they are not true NBT files? If you want, you can send me one of them to look at.

Uh, it's TMI.nbt from the mod TooManyItems. This is where the save states for items are stored. Sorry for the almost-3-weeks-late reply
