Nibnya
What it is
Nibnya is a free Android NBT editor for Minecraft Bedrock, described as an imitation of Blocktopograph. It works with NBT data and uses Shizuku to reach Minecraft files under Android/data; the README says users need basic Shizuku knowledge for this access. The project states support for Android 9 through 13. Its all-files permission is used to read and write the download, old, and private directories. A release note describes loading an archive and editing player data, including online player data. Other noted functions include a debugging menu for viewing and exporting logs, and reorganized Chinese and English resources with internationalization. The project uses the AGPL 3.0 license, and its maker invites contributors to fork it and submit pull requests or changes in their forks. The README says the app is only halfway stabilized and that some items remain to be added. Version 1.0.3c is listed as a pre-release with three release assets; its notes mention a move from Java 8 to Java 17 and a switch to Kotlin.

The review
Overview
Nibnya is an Android editor for Minecraft Bedrock NBT files, modeled after Blocktopograph. It is best suited to players comfortable managing Android file access who want to edit world or player data on a phone. Its unfinished status makes it a more cautious choice than a mature, stable editing workflow.
Key features
Nibnya uses Shizuku to reach Minecraft files in Android/data, so access depends on knowing how to use Shizuku; this is a meaningful setup hurdle for users who want a straightforward editor. The README says all-files permission is used to read and write the download directory, the old directory, and the private directory.
A release describes loading an archive and editing player data, including online player data. That gives the app a use beyond basic world-file changes, though the project README warns that it is only halfway stabilized and still has items to add.
The interface sidebar was revised to resemble MT Manager. Other release changes include a switch from leveldb-1.1.0.jar to leveldb_jni.jar, a debugging menu with log viewing and export, and reorganized Chinese and English strings with internationalization. Version 1.0.3c is marked as a pre-release; its notes mention the move from Java 8 to Java 17 and a switch to Kotlin.
The project is licensed under AGPL 3.0 and invites contributors to fork it and submit pull requests. The README says the application code was written by DeepSeek V4.
Pricing
Nibnya is free, with a free plan and no paid tier described. That makes it accessible for occasional editing, but the cost advantage does not remove the setup and stability trade-offs: users need basic Shizuku knowledge, and the project is still described as unfinished.
Platforms
Nibnya is for Android and supports Minecraft Bedrock worlds in NBT format. The README says Android 9 through 13 are supported, so users on other Android versions should not assume compatibility.
Who it's for
Choose Nibnya if you specifically want a free Android tool for Bedrock NBT editing, need archive and player-data support, and are comfortable with Shizuku-based access. It is less suitable for users who need a clearly stabilized release or prefer an editor that does not require learning this file-access method.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Archive loading and player-data editing, including online player data, cover more than basic world-file adjustments.
- Pro: Free access and an AGPL 3.0 license make the project available without a paid tier and open to contributions.
- Con: Shizuku knowledge is required to access Minecraft files under Android/data, adding setup work for Android users.
- Con: The README describes the app as only halfway stabilized, while version 1.0.3c is a pre-release; users prioritizing reliability should be wary.
- Con: The stated Android range ends at version 13, limiting confidence for devices on newer versions.

Verdict

Its unfinished status and pre-release version are the strongest reasons to look elsewhere if dependable, settled software matters more than editing on a phone.
