AnvilToolkit This program is a collection of tools with the aim of making new modifications possible and making already possible modifications easier to create.
The tool is under constant development, with new features and file support being worked on. In the future many more files will be supported and easily editable.
Unpacking and repacking .forge and .data files: To unpack/repack a .forge or a .data file, simply select it in the game explorer and either click on the available options on the right hand side of the tool or right click the file and select the desired option. Unpacking can also be done by double clicking the .forge/.data file.
If you get an error saying you need to install .NET5, you have to download and install this.
If you need any help using the toolkit or you want to keep up to date with all the changes and improvements, you can join the AnvilToolkit discord server here.
