NBT Copy Mod FAQ

Run /data get on a server or /cgetdata in single player to print the entity's NBT to chat, then click the COPY text button that appears at the end of that command output. The data is placed on your clipboard, ready to paste elsewhere.

It appears as clickable text at the end of each individual command output in the message box, not as a separate GUI or keybind. If you don't see it, the command output may have been cut off or the mod isn't loaded.

The button only appears on output from NBT-printing commands like /data get or /cgetdata, so it won't show on normal chat. Make sure you're clicking the COPY text itself and not the surrounding message.

Yes, each command output gets its own COPY button, so you can run the command on several entities and click each button individually. Each click replaces your clipboard contents with that entity's data, so paste before copying the next one.

The mod copies the printed NBT text as-is so you can paste it into a text editor and edit it while retaining the original structure. This is the main reason the mod exists, since the message box normally doesn't allow selecting or copying text.

Yes, paste it into any text editor, make your changes, then use it however you need, such as in a command or a bug report. The mod only handles copying; editing happens outside the game.

The copy button works on the client side, so it functions wherever you can see the command output, including servers where you have permission to run /data get. The server doesn't need the mod installed for you to copy the text.

It only adds a clickable button to command output, so it generally doesn't conflict with other mods. If another mod also modifies chat output, the button may appear differently or not at all.

No, it only acts when you click the COPY button and doesn't run anything in the background. Copying large NBT outputs may briefly freeze the game while the text is placed on your clipboard.

Very large NBT outputs can be truncated by the chat or command output limit before the mod can copy them. Try copying smaller sections or use a command that returns less data at a time.
