Overview

With the Manipulator in your hand you click an item on the ground, a block, an item frame or an armour stand – or drop it onto an item in your inventory like a bundle. An editor opens: tabs on the left, settings in the middle, the live preview on the right – armour worn on a figure with your own skin, weapons in the hand, blocks as a 3D block.

Everything goes through the server: it builds the result from its own item and only takes over what is allowed – with limits, deny lists and separate rules for survival mode, where changes cost experience levels.

Name & text

Name and lore lines in any RGB colour, with gradients and all formats; a tooltip preview below.

Enchantments & attributes

Every enchantment from vanilla and mods up to level 255, “all fitting” with one click; attribute modifiers for all attributes and slots.

Armour

Swap the base material (iron → netherite), the look of another material with the same protection, armour trims with every pattern plus a free colour, leather dye in RGB.

Trims for modded armour (new in 1.1.1)

Armour trims and the free trim colour now also work on armour from other mods, e.g. [RKD] Iron Suit – with the preview worn and as an item.

Looks

Enchantment glint on/off, a coloured glow outline, “looks like” another item, custom model data.

Special items

Potions and arrows, fireworks, banners and shields with up to 16 pattern layers, player heads, books, maps.

Blocks

Block states, sign texts with colours and glowing text, banners, container names, spawners, beacons – and raw NBT for those allowed.

Preset library

Save designs, sort them in folders, mark favourites, share them as text; in survival create from a preset by bringing the base item and paying levels.

Safe for servers

Who may edit items, blocks or raw NBT is configurable; before applying, the server checks that exactly the same thing is still at the target – no duplication.
