About this project
I wrote NEINedit because I was coding a class to read the NBT format. Since I had to read & write stuff with that class to test its function I wrote this small editor. Let’s hope this will help someone.

Development status: At this moment I’m focussing on TreasureChest v4. After that I’ll work on this again if there are enough download until then.

NEINedit for Mac

WARNING
Since this is the first version I’m handing out there might be a number of errors. I tested this a LOT and it seems to work just fine but the devil’s in the detail. Please backup your original files before you use this. Also: If you edit files of your minecraft save, please backup the whole savegame so it doesn’t get corrupted. I wrote a handy application for that. Take a look at my website for TreasureChest

Because you (hopefully) already paid for Minecraft I’m not going to charge you anything for this. And because it’s nice to offer something for free But since everything takes some time and I don’t get paid for this, you could do me a favor and donate. How much, that’s your decision. Every donator will be listed somewhere and if there are some suggestions posted with a donation I’ll look into that first. If it fits the app of course.

# Initial (public) release


As I stated in the first sentence: You can download version 3.4 from the TreasureChest website and try it out yourself. I won’t spent any more work into the v3 branch so please be patient and wait for the next version which will be based on everything I’ve done until know and (hopefully) bring a more stable support for linux.

About this project
After I got tired of copying everything by hand I looked a bit jealous over to the various windows minecraft backup solutions and decided to write my own one. For Mac of course. But since some people asked it’s also available for Windows and soon for Linux.

Development status: Working on v4 – Will work on linux for real this time, expanded functionality, more stability and decent interface changes.

# Initial release

Indeed it is After almost 2 years I updated my wordpress installation to write again. Mostly progress reports about a project I’m currently working on but there might be more. Not sure about that though. We’ll see in the future…

Wie angekündigt, wird diese Seite in eine neue Richtung gehen. Nach einiger Zeit habe ich mich entschieden das Design ein wenig aufzufrischen (noch unvollendet), die Galerie zu integrieren und wieder etwas zu schreiben (was du gerade liest). Diesmal in deutsch und englisch was nicht viel mehr Zeit als vorher in Anspruch nehmen wir da ich sowieso eher selten etwas schreibe

Ich werde nichts mehr über Filme und Serien schreiben da ich nicht mehr soviel fernsehe. Artikel über Musik werden auch wegfallen. Ich höre zwar immer noch viel Musik, habe aber weniger Lust darüber zu schreiben.

Was übrig bleibt sind Bilder und Grafiken. Vielleicht mal einen Artikel über das neue Webprojekt an dem ich gerade arbeite. Das ist alles. Das ist das nächste Kapitel. Viel Spaß damit

The next chapter

As I stated before, this site will go into a new direction. After some time I decided to refresh the design a bit (not quite finished yet), integrate the gallery into the blog and start posting again (this). This time in german and english. Which won’t take more time as before as I don’t post that much

I won’t post anymore about movies and TV as I don’t watch that much TV anymore. Music reviews will disappear too but only because I don’t have the need to write about that any more. I still listen to my favorite bands. A lot.

Leaves pictures and artwork. Maybe posting about a new website I developed. That’s it. That’s the next chapter. Have fun with it
