PLUG IN. BREAK THE RULES. Why mine for items when you can add them? Plug Toolbox lets you edit your Minecraft Bedrock worlds on iPhone and iPad. Choose a world, make your changes, review them together, then apply them. ITEMS AND ENCHANTMENTS • Add items and blocks from the supported catalogue to armour, offhand, hotbar, inventory and Ender Chest slots. • Add compatible enchantments individually or in bulk. Choose normal levels, Safe Max or Full Max. • Create usable item stacks with required item data filled in automatically. PLAYER AND WORLD • Change health, experience, abilities, movement, flight and position. • Edit game mode, difficulty, spawn, time, weather, multiplayer rules and other world settings. NBT EDITING Edit world, player and item NBT directly. Browse typed values, add suggested fields or create custom tags. Plug Toolbox preserves unknown data that you do not edit, which helps when Minecraft adds new fields. REVIEW AND BACKUPS Stage changes to several parts of a world in one session. Review the previous and proposed values before you apply them. Plug Toolbox creates an automatic backup before supported writes and verifies the result afterward. You can also duplicate a world or keep a separate copy in Plug Vault. If the world is from a newer Minecraft version, the app shows a compatibility warning and leaves editing available. Make a copy first if the world matters to you. To work on a Minecraft world, connect its worlds folder once. Close Minecraft before applying changes, then open it again. Minecraft is required and sold separately. NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

About

MineChat for Minecraft

Features
Read full description

MineChat connects to a Minecraft: Java Edition server just like the game does, so you can keep up with your server from your phone, with no PC running in the background. FREE • Full chat: read and send messages in the server's own colors and formatting • The player list, scoreboard and boss bars, exactly as the server sends them • Move your character: joystick, look around, sneak, jump, interact • Live player count and ping before you join • One saved character and one saved server • Contains ads PRO (SUBSCRIPTION) • As many characters and servers as you like • Inventory: armor, both hands and the hotbar, with real item textures, enchantments and durability • A live 2D map of the world around you • Auto-login, plus unlimited commands sent when you connect • Custom hotkeys for the commands you type most • Anti-AFK auto-move while the app is open, so an idle session isn't disconnected • No ads STAYING CONNECTED On iOS 26 and later, turn on "Stay connected in the background" in Settings and iOS can keep your session running with the screen locked, with a card on the Lock Screen. iOS decides how long that lasts and can end it at any time. On earlier versions, a session runs while the app is open: turn on "Keep the screen on" and MineChat stays connected for as long as it's in front. When a session ends, it ends cleanly, and opening the app again reconnects you right where you left off. The price and billing period are shown in the app before you buy. The subscription renews automatically, and you can cancel it at any time in your Apple account settings. VERSIONS Java Edition 1.21.5 through 26.3. You choose the version for each server. PRIVACY Your characters, servers and chat logs stay on your device. MineChat connects straight to the servers you enter, and nothing is relayed through us. MineChat is an independent, unofficial app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Mojang Studios or Microsoft. "Minecraft" is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB.
