Hi. I feel really stupid right now. So I'm just gonna dump this out here:
All I want to do is find every instance in every command block where an old entity id is referenced, for instance "MinecartRideable", and then simply replace that text with the new entity id, "minecraft:minecart". ... Without ransacking the REST of the tag. Is this... not a thing I can do? I'm afraid of messing up this world I've been trying to retrofit. I'll admit I'm in over my head, but giving up is not an option.
So far I figured out that maaaaybe I have to enter a text tag Command Contains "MinecartRideable" ... but what the crap do i put in the replace field x_x; it wants to ADD NEW TAGS not edit existing ones! I MEAN DAMMIT ISN'T THIS WHY WE EVEN WANT A REPLACE FUNCTION!? I just want to replace one string of text with another! I was expecting a SIMPLE INTERFACE like you'd have in notepad or some crap, not this... crazy rocket surgery control panel thing.
Can somebody please straighten me out? D:
Edit: I wrote this while I was very frustrated last night. I'm sorry that I did not wait until I was in a healthier emotional state. I neither am, nor was, angry at anyone except myself. I do hope no one took offense. So far I've been doing the text string replacements manually. It has sort of worked, but I'm still really hurting for an automated solution. I have over 10,000 command blocks that I need to update from 1.9.2 to 1.11.2 and NBTExplorer seems to be my only hope...
Figured I'd update to the latest version of NBTExplorer. Just downloaded the ZIP file and extracted it. I double-clicked NBTExplorer.exe to start it and suddenly Norton Antivirus is telling me that all the DLL and EXE files in the folder are malware, and it automatically deleted them all. I've used your tool in the past without this problem. I hope you haven't added in any adware or something in your program that pops up ads. I know it probably is tempting to try to generate some revenue from your program by including ads, but that's not a good thing when your program is supposed to be completely freeware.

I haven't added anything of that nature. The update was very small to support the new NBT editions. I don't know why Norton would flag it for you.
You have to exit MineCraft before making changes with NBTExplorer. When you reopen MC the changes will have taken.
Just for insurance make a copy (right click) of the world you want to edit to your desktop.
I make one every time I play MC. I keep a current version and a copy as it was the last time I played. I also use WorldEdit-Forge and it's very easy to make a huge change that isn't immediately obvious.
Hi, I am trying to use NBTExplorer in a technic launcher minecraft world, but it doesn't seem to find my worlds in technic launcher. Is there anything I can do to make NBTExplorer find my technic launcher worlds? (I'm using a Mac btw)
What I mean is that in the file named "saves" in NBTExplorer it does find the worlds inside Minecraft by itself, but it does not find the worlds inside Technic Launcher.
And why should it?
It doesn't find even vanilla launcher versions, if they are not in the default location. What to speak about non-standard launchers?
This was a lifesaver. I accidentally created a repeating unconditional always active command block with /kill @p[c=-1,team=RED].
Thankfully, I was able to remove all players from RED team with this.
just wanted to say one thing: THANK YOU!

Make sure you downloaded it from my GitHub.
Mods I Develop: Garden Stuff -- Storage Drawers -- Hunger Strike
Tools I Develop: NBTExplorer -- Substrate
I just downloaded what's on the OP, it installed without a hitch and I use Norton.
Norton often balks when something hasn't been downloaded very much but not the case here.

im trying to use this for a mod where i have to go under playerdata but its not saving any tips?
What exactly are you trying to achieve and what are your results so far?
I'm looking to duplicate an already existing server and add some mods for my friends and can't access the files. Any suggestions?
Create a new thread in an appropriate forum and repeat your question. It has nothing to do with this topic.
Where it is possible to find source code of Substrate.dll?
It is what I look for? https://github.com/minecraft-dotnet/Substrate

"It" does not "find" anything by itself. You have to find and open appropriate file yourself.
What I mean is that in the file named "saves" in NBTExplorer it does find the worlds inside Minecraft by itself, but it does not find the worlds inside Technic Launcher.
And why should it?
It doesn't find even vanilla launcher versions, if they are not in the default location. What to speak about non-standard launchers?
Ok. Is there a tutorial showing me how to properly use NBTExplorer?
I'll make one for you:
Click the "open folder" button.
