Hello all, I have been browsing the mods section looking for an inventory editor and I haven't been able to find one that says it specifically works on Linux. If anyone would know which one would work AND can tell me how to install it, it would be very much appreciated.
Windows ones should work through Wine. I havn't tested existing ones, but the Windows one im working on works in Linux through Wine (Tho its nowhere near ready to be released).
Okay, I'm going to sound like a total jerk and haters gonna hate real hard, but why in the name of all that is holy do you people insist on contaminating a Linux OS with things like Wine, Virtualbox, et cetera et cetera? Keep your OS clean, if you really have the need to use a Windows utility and there is not a single program that runs natively on Linux that caters to your needs, then make a Windows partition and dual-boot. It's ugly and cumbersome, but I personally find it uglier to use programs such as Wine to simulate a Windows environment on a Linux OS. I dual-boot myself, between a 64-bit Arch and a 64-bit WinXP. KISS.
And as OP said:

EDIT: I downloaded the source code for jbendig's InvGrid, compiled it and can confirm it's working natively, perfectly. Here is a screenshot for you (open in new tab, it's big):
In my inventory I now have 64 redstone ore blocks, 64 golden records, 64 fire blocks, and 64 diamond ore blocks. Here is the editor running on my Linux, for all of you non-believers. In the case you need installation instructions, PM me.

The OCD is strong with this one. If you want to force yourself to use an "ugly and cumbersome" system just so you can say you're being "pure", then go right ahead. The rest of us aren't interested in having to reboot our system every time we want to use a program that doesn't run naively on Linux. That's the reason we "insist on contaminating" our OS.
Also, since you brought up KISS; which is simpler?
[*:1qwm4rc1] Shutting down your Linux system.
[*:1qwm4rc1] Booting up Windows (waiting for it to load, etc.)
[*:1qwm4rc1] Running the needed program.
[*:1qwm4rc1] Shutting down Windows.
[*:1qwm4rc1] Booting Linux back up.
[*:1qwm4rc1] Continuing with what you were doing.
Or:
[*:1qwm4rc1]
wine program.exe
I think you should do a little more reading about KISS.
epinull, I do have a strong OCD, but KISS is about simplicity of design, not simplicity of use. but if you feel like going on with this, PM me. Let's not
but why in the name of all that is holy do you people insist on contaminating a Linux OS with things like Wine
Wine just allows you to run Windows applications in Linux without using an emulator. There is no contamination of the OS or any other rubbish like that. It just requires a simple installation which doesn't screw up Linux in any way. Wine just becomes a layer between the Windows application and Linux.

Limiting his options to just Native ones means that he may not be able to use the best of the lot, or the ones with the least bugs. Hence why people like me suggested using things like Wine, so that he can try more tools and find the best one.
If people want to hide in a cave and not be able to use Windows applications on Linux when its very simple to do, then thats upto them. Personally i don't see why anyone would want to limit there options when applications like Wine don't damage or do anything to the OS.
VirtualBox is a pain in the rear. If you choose Linux, stick to Linux, I say.

Back on topic, InvGrid works natively on linux.
