Starcheat Usage

Basic

Drag and Drop

Inventory slots on the main Starcheat window can be dragged and dropped to other slots to move items.

Right Click -> Edit Json

Right clicking ANY inventory slot (including an empty one) will allow you to edit the raw json of that slot. This can be combined with an external IDE like Visual Studio Code for easier item editing. You could also easily copy + paste item in text format for easy importing later.

title/name field = same as 'name' json key in item json

body/json field = valid starbound item json

Adding onto this, you can also double click an item and then click on the bottom left to export the item .json, then reimport after changes have been made if you prefer using external editors.

Exporting your Player File

You can export a raw .json of your player file by first selecting and loading the player you wish to export. Then, click on the menu toolbar option File > Export > Player JSON

Advanced

Importing incomplete player files

starcheat supports importing partial player JSON files and will merge them with the current player.
